    Michelle Malkin on Michael Moore and SICKO

    ‘Sicko’ leaves top Democrats ill at ease

    Leading candidates are sidestepping direct comment on filmmaker Michael Moore’s proposals for universal healthcare.

    Instead of greeting the film with hosannas or challenging it head-on, however, the leading Democratic presidential candidates have sidestepped direct comment on Moore’s proposals.

    Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois and former Sen. John Edwards of South Carolina all have staked out positions sharply at odds with Moore’s approach. But none of them is eager to have that fact dragged into the spotlight.

    Hillary is NOT stupid. Socialized, nationalized, universal government run healthcare sunk husband’s Bill first term policy agenda with the resulting loss of House control for the first time in over 40 years.

    And you think she will endorse this WACKO Michael Moore proposal?

    If Socialized, Britain type National Health Service Medicine is an issue in race 2008, the Democrats lose.

    The Democrat Presidential candidates know this.

    Cuba Watch: SICKO Highlights its Humanism

    moorejune15web

    Filmmaker Michael Moore marches with nurses from the California Nurses Association (CNA) to a special screening of his new documentary ‘SiCKO’ at the State Capitol in Sacramento June 12, 2007. Cuba’s Communist government joined the debate surrounding Moore’s documentary on Friday, saying the film will allow the world to get a glimpse of the humaneness of its health system.

    Cuba says Moore’s “SiCKO” highlights its humanism

    Cuba’s Communist government joined the debate surrounding Michael Moore’s new documentary “SiCKO” on Friday, saying the film will allow the world to get a glimpse of the humaneness of its health system.

    The film, due to open in the United States on June 29, indicts the U.S. health-care system as putting the profits of insurance and pharmaceutical companies ahead of public health concerns.
    To make his point, Moore traveled to Cuba in March with three volunteers who worked in the ruins of New York’s World Trade Center after the September 11 attacks. He said the three are now suffering health problems tied to that work and are struggling to get appropriate treatment in the United States.

    In Cuba, the film says, they received exemplary treatment at virtually no cost.

    Yeah, right.

    Let’s examine the Cuban health care system:

    Universal health care has long given the Cuban regime bragging rights, though there is growing concern about the future. In the decades that Cuba drew financial and military support from the Soviet Union, Mr. Castro poured resources into medical education, creating the largest medical school in Latin America and turning out thousands of doctors to practice around the world.

    But that changed after the collapse of the Soviets, according to Cuban defectors like Dr. Leonel Cordova. By the time Dr. Cordova started practicing in 1992, equipment and drugs were already becoming scarce. He said he was assigned to a four-block neighborhood in Havana Province where he was supposed to care for about 600 people.

    “But even if I diagnosed something simple like bronchitis,” he said, “I couldn’t write a prescription for antibiotics, because there were none.”

    He defected in 2000 while on a medical mission in Zimbabwe and made his way to the United States. He is now an urgent-care physician at Baptist Hospital in Miami.

    Having practiced medicine in both Cuba and the United States, Dr. Cordova has an unusual perspective for comparison.

    “Actually there are three systems,” Dr. Cordova said, because Cuba has two: one is for party officials and foreigners like those Mr. Moore brought to Havana. “It is as good as this one here, with all the resources, the best doctors, the best medicines, and nobody pays a cent,” he said.

    But for the 11 million ordinary Cubans, hospitals are often ill equipped and patients “have to bring their own food, soap, sheets — they have to bring everything.” And up to 20,000 Cuban doctors may be working in Venezuela, creating a shortage in Cuba.

    A little different story, no?

    Michael Moore is creating BUZZ for his movie that he hopes makes him a few more $ millions.

    Does anyone REALLY think Moore gives a shit about the American health care system?

    For Michael Moore, Controversy Is Marketing

    Filmmaker Michael Moore says on his Web site that his new documentary, “SiCKO,” “will expose the health-care industry’s greed and control over America’s political processes.”

    Controversy has become a key ingredient of marketing Mr. Moore’s work, and the backers of “SiCKO” hope that the new movie will stir up emotions and help generate the kind of buzz that made his last movie, “Fahrenheit 9/11,” both a topic of national debate and an unprecedented blockbuster in the documentary genre. “Fahrenheit 9/11” had a budget of $6 million and grossed more than $100 million in the U.S. alone.

    Mr. Moore’s formula is simple: Pick a divisive topic and goad opponents into a public debate before the movie opens. The question is whether his new film’s subject material — health care and insurance — will deliver the kind of heat that he generated for “Fahrenheit 9/11,” a movie about the Bush administration’s actions before and after the Sept. 11th attacks. “SiCKO” makes its debut at the Cannes Film Festival this weekend and opens in U.S. theaters June 29.

    Who cares?

    Moore just wants to make money.

    A phony and moron rolled into one fat package……

    Update:

    And to think that Sicko might win at Cannes.

    But didn’t…

    Update #2:

    What a surprise! A challenge to Sicko’s stats.
