Thier is more BS in this movie than thier was in Clinton's speech about not having sex with that woman!
If things are so good in Cuba then why are all the Cuban doctors moving to this country. The only ones who aren't coming here are the doctors that have family in children in Cuba. Why, because Fidel wont let them all travel at the same time.

If Cuba's so great why doesn't that fat,rich slob move there?
The answer's easy.He can't get fat and rich there.
Any idiot can bend and manipulate the truth to make their point of view look good.And with some clever editing make it look like the absolute truth.F911 was a fine example of that.
Moore's an a-hole,plain and simple.Ken Starr and Moore should get together for tea some time.

I'm no fan of Moore, but from what I've heard this movie is actually pretty good. The idea isn't that Cuba is perfect, but rather that we can and should be doing a much better job of providing with the resources we have available.
Our healthcare system is pretty f'ed up when you think about it. I'm not sure a single payer system is the way to go, but what we have today is terribly inefficient and simply not scalable.

That's an understatement for sure.
This country needs to stop sending billions overseas to "save" others(including illegals here)from poverty and bad healthcare and start taking care of our own. |

the idea is not that quba is so great, it is that at least cuba does not refuse ANYONE treatment because they are not insured or do not have the money/insurance for treatment.
the same with Canada, Great Britan, France and a list of other countries. i believe usa was ranked 27'th in the world for health care.
CNN suposedly fact checked this movie and has proven Moore's facts and points are not distorted.
not trying to stir a political debate or love/hate michael moore thread here. I really could care less about him either way.
I'm simply stating the movie was worth watching.

Mike - you are right on. It would do everyone good to see that movie. Our healthcare system is one that not only screws the people, but also is driving the doctors out. I just had to change my primary after 25 years because he cannot fight the HMO's to get the treatment his patients need.  |
