fuck it i'm an evil capatalist canadian too then, i'm in debt i have credit, i don't own a car but that's a choice, i work my arse off, my family actually OWNS a business, i got an education and paid for it but i know better than to think that i get what i got because i'm 'free' and in a 'free' country. the real evil is at the top it's the 5% corporate, old money made from slaves and wastful consumerist goods and minimum wage and the vast expanse of real poverty.that statistic that 20% own 80% of the wealth is what is evil. evil evil evil. all that wealth could create a perfect and free health care system but tell that to them. instead you got to buy insurance and make their pockets even more bloated.

v5, not everyone can afford that advantage, that is the problem.

dobs, you must have missed mine then.
i can't respect people so into their own misery that can't afford anything. i mean NOTHING? c'mon. it's that hard for some, that they can't get ANYTHING together for themselves? if so, what good is my keeping them in good health? so they're alive, what then? still worthless to society. My statement refers to the people that may be poor, but still find the funds to buy overpriced junk.
oh and if you're this broke and having kids, you can still fuck off. can't take care of yourself? you shouldn't have kids. point blank.
i see a lot of handouts wanted and maybe a few falling through the cracks but a little responsibility would go a long way
fyi, i haven't seen the flick yet, not in my area, so i'm not all biased from the movie screen

I agree with lots you are saying, but you seem to be hungup on the abusers of the system.
not everyone is as capable as you, realize that. People have health problems and I do not think that judging them before treating them is really helping anyone out.
I am all about personal responsibility. I take care of lots of things that I shouldn't have to, also. But not everyone, at every stage of their life can do that.
i see no reason to be selfish and have a survival of the fittest attitude about something as simple as health care. I tgoes on in many other nations and they are still capitalists.

your guyses arguement brings up the topic of retirement and healthcare to me. because i can see both of your arguements and they are both relevent at the retirement age.
a retired person is too old to compete in the job market, and also have worked and payed their dues to the system. what then?
i mean we all pay medicaid/medicare. it was signed into a bill back in 65. i never hear about any mathematicians speaking about feasibility. what percentage of the funds generated will actually go to work?
we are left in the dark about just about every dollar we are taxed on. and we could care less about it.
i hate it.

Universal Health care has its issues but its still the right thing to do. Everyone deserves free healthcare, they should get a free education as well! I'm a pinko and happy to be one.
I usually find Michael Moore's documentaries to be propagandist, but this one was really good.
- CALLES0
i wonder why michael moore didn't do super size me... he would have been perfect for the role

dude kicked blitzer in the dingding last night.
- M0NEYCIDE0
ya just watched that. wolfe was composed but moore is right. all the BS around his films is just corporate slander. he's got balls or at least he's one of the few who are actually alowed to speak the truth on cnn.

"An absurdist of outrage"
give me a break the guy covers real stories and real issues and he's probably the most casual and laid back guy. as he pointed out everything he said in ferinheit 911 that was pegged as leftist fear mongering turned out to be true and now all of a sudden the main stream and right wingers are trying to speak up about it. the same people who were denying it when it was released.
- BonSeff0
i cant believe i watched that whole jackie clip
- OSFA0
haha every clip there is of Moore on the news or CNN is followed by the news anchor and his personal bashing...
- studderine0
i thought this was about the band sicko. that'd been dope.
- OSFA0

- Geith0

"we left michael moore speechless..."

Just saw it tonight. Very eye opening. Made me want to move to France too. My GF and I had the same reaction.
It really makes you consider things in the US. This next election is so important. I still doubt things will ever change.
I know the movie might be just a bit one-sided in spots, but what you get a clear cut picture of is this:
Compassion Vs. Greed
There are good doctors in the US for sure, but how many have the same mentality as doctors making less money in other countries who are doctors and do all they can to help people because it's the moral thing to do for society?
