Michael Moore's Sicko So Meano To Hillary

Mary Ann--I'm glad you brought up yet another point about NY HillBillaries and how they are so much in Corporate America's pockets that, once again, for the Clintons it's all about the Clintons, and America...well...

But: "...which made it's Washington premiere Wednesday night at the Uptown theater."
[means] ...which made IT IS Washington premier...
Surely if you write for the WP you know an "its" from an "it's"! Or maybe not?

This lifelong Democrat has paid attention to hillary's actions and IS NOT SUPRIDES THAT THE OPAQUE, WORD SPINNING LAWYER IS DUPLICITOUS!

hillary IS NOT BILL CLINTON!

I WILL NEVER-EVER-NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS vote for the word splitting, issue straddelling, actions obfuscating lawyer
named hillary

GORE/OBAMA IN 08!

How is it "a hit" on Hillary by Michael Moore if he is pointing out the facts of her fund raising? Granted, I haven't seen the film yet, but it seems more likely to me that HRC's million dollar health care lobby love affair is a hit on Americans.

Hillary's universal health scare/snare scam did not die. It merely went underground, to be implemented piecemeal through bureaucracy. She and Ted Kennedy are the biggest threats to health care in this country today, because everyone equates health care insurance with health care. Sweetheart deals between insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and government have created a bureaucratic nightmare that does more to obstruct access to health care than promote it. Who, exactly, is the "health care industry"? Are we talking insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, medical technology companies, and lawyers? Individual doctors are suffering under enormous pressures by absentee bosses who dictate treatment without ever seeing a patient or assuming any risks.

Thanks for your heartfelt review!

With people like you distracting the public, along with our intellectual property covert op, we can go a long way toward neutralizing this movie.

Please read, in today's WaPo, the "Gatekeepers to Hilaryland".

I know the Bush 43 Administration was notable for its maintenance of internal security and confidentiality for a long time. I did not admire that in the current administration, but the thrust of the "Gatekeepers" article is that HRC's "brain trust" is even more secretive.

Moore did not demonize the health care industry, he told some nasty truths about it, same goes for Hillary, no hit, just the truth. Is the the Wa Times?

So, wait. . . it's news to some people that Hillary is thick-as-thieves with big corporate healthcare industry types? I mean, we ARE talking about one of the core members of the Democratic Leadership Council, who brought us their wonderful take on Republican Lite during the 1990s, the same DLC that thought that supporting Bush was a great idea, and figured Democrats would do poor in the Nov. 2006 by opposing the war.

Are Hillary's supporters slow, or just blinded by the afterglow of Bill Clinton? Because really, she's a pol like any other, and not one who has shown [really] even the slightest bit of actual leadership. She takes money from health care, but she takes no leading [risky] stands on any issue.

Hillary is an OK Senator. Let's just keep her there in the Senate.

Meano? WHAT!... Presently, Hillary Clinton is the top elected politician on the books of the healthcare industry lobbyists. Maybe, there are a few people that don't follow politics as closely, but Rick Santorum (R) PA. lost out in the mid-term elections.

He lost because had didn't speak to the truth of anything. It was 'Damn the science books for it's evolution theory, let's teach our children the history of Adam and Eve or he'd suggest the Jesus would have been a gun advocate, 'He'd have used two armfuls of automatic weapons to clear out the corrupt temple if they were around at the time'.

BOTTOM LINE: Nancy Drew laughs at the Slueth for her Fox News Channel style reporting. If Moore had been complete in his assement of Ms. Rodham-Clinton, she wouldn't have come out much more bloody in her lobbyist/bribe taking because the corruption has been turned up full throttle with her now allied herself with Union buster lobbyist Mark Penn as her top campaign strategist. (sorry for the long bottom line ;-)

Looks like if we truly want to have universal health care in America we're going to have to elect someone who has the courage to stand up to the insurance and healthcare lobbies and put the people first. The only one I'm hearing push the issue is John Edwards who has made it a cornerstone of his campaign. And it appears to be so well-thought-out we're not hearing a word of criticism. Go Edwards!

As an independent that leans Republican, I find this whole thing somewhat hilarious. Universal health care is not the answer at least as people think. Universal health care will only be the answer when everyone gets an account to spend from to cover selected items and if they spend beyond that, it is on them. The exceptions to this policy would be for big ticket items ie cancer, etc where specialists would be required. There are two additional points to this. First, medical professionals should be able to post their fees like other service businesses. That way, I can comparison shop. Second, insurance carriers could specialize and cover the really big and unique items (as they do now for all medical care). It will improve what is a somewhat broken system. I know. I've had three ambulance runs while at work and I've been lucky to get good doctors. I am certain not everyone has been so blessed.

M.Moore found a hole in H. Clinton among the many, many others that "we the people" have observed and filed in our open minds. She steals (even furniture from the White House upon exiting)from everyone. Everyone!

With this massive amount of "special interest money"(corruption)can there be any doubt why professional polititians are as disinterested the the will of the people as we are with their treasonous behavior and lack of patriotism?

As long as we spend money on insurance instead of health care, we'll get insurance instead of health care. Medicare is an example of government-controlled universal health insurance for the over-65 crowd. Hillary wants more of this? Please let Medicare implode before I reach 65. Americans had better health care with public health departments and charity hospitals--when people could walk in and be treated immediately and for free. No insurance, Medicare or Medicaid necessary.

Looks like if we truly want to have universal health care in America we're going to have to elect someone who has the courage to stand up to the insurance and healthcare lobbies and put the people first. The only one I'm hearing push the issue is John Edwards who has made it a cornerstone of his campaign. And it appears to be so well-thought-out we're not hearing a word of criticism. Go Edwards!

True, Reb. I wonder where Helen NYC and all the other Hillary Gatekeepers are in this blog? Silence speaks volumes.

Why should US need woman president?
United States have already fated may com to have woman president, also Hillary has already fated to be the president of United States Of America, This is the nature of history and no one can stop it. US may need woman president to reverse current history and world situation. This is according to deep thus philosophy which also is the secret of modern political science theory. In this universe only a few people have enough knowledge for that theory. It is confirmed 95%Hillary will be the next president of United States Of America , which also is a great history for America. Today Hillary is already one step inside the White House and no one can stop her.

Go Hillary. We plan to do all we can to put the most qualified person in the White House. Yep to Hillary and her health plan.

I wonder if that Healthcare plan is anything like the one from the 90's.

Strip more off of Medicare... have the elderly eat dog food.

Quite a devious plan, that.

Maggie, I'm not crazy about Hillary either, but the whole stealing furniture from the White House is a Republican lie. Focus instead on Halliburton stealing millions of dollars from the US Treasury.

Bella English, I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 50. What is it?

What I would give for anyone but Hilary as our next President. Just about everyone else would be better, IMO. Obama, Edwards, Kuchinach, Gore, Bloomberg.

I have watched Hilary. She is Corporate America. This town is already way too full of people like her, and look at the result to this country.

John Edwards did more to increase health care costs than any other lawyer by his suits against doctors and hospitals. That is how he became a millionaire. And you want to propose a health care system for the U.S.?
He didn't chase ambulances. That was too chicken feed for him.
He claimed to have "channeled the thoughts of a child alleged to have died from medical malpractice.
Dealing with poorly informed and emotional jurists is not a good preparation for dealing with radical Islamists and World War IV.

Dear Donny Bale M.D.,

Haven't you heard that the fourth highest cause of death happens to be doctors!

Why is it when the neo-cons defend criminal activity from the Bush camp, they say 'they're following the letter of the law'?

But when a lawyer sues an industry for doing the wrong thing, then the neo-cons scream 'it's the ruin of the healthcare system'

It's a load of bull dung, donald.

...to attempt to get 'back on topic'.

Hillary is now this county's number one Bull Dong Merchant!

What is mean is how Ms. Sleuth and the Washington Post support Hillary while millions of children suffer with no health insurance.

What is mean is how the parents of these children weigh out the choice between taking their children to a hospital for needed care and taking on finincial servitude for decades or neglecting the severity of the child's life.

What is meano is the medical corporations that abuse the bloated system by double charging, whether it is a pharmacutical research manager or the doctor. Thus causing the system to fall outside the bounds of the middle class.

Who is the champion of the ones that suffer (or are tagged as beggars looking for 'entitlements'

The patience bubble is about to burst. Change needs to happen, now!

-Entitlement- is a lobbyist created term the formulate a pro-con arguement on issues such as Healthcare.

People are suffering, there is no sense of entitlement.

Edwards and Obama released their healthcare plans. Where is Hillary's plan? I am still waiting for it. Obama listed his pork projects and his tax forms. Where are Hillary's? Obama has a ethics reform plan. Where's Hillary's plan? Obama and Edwards have a plan to get the troops out of Iraq. Where is Hillary's plan? Is Hillary all "I am a woman vote for me " fluff and no substance? Is she the front runner because she was married to the president? Is she being held to a lower standard than Edwards or Obama by the media because she is a Washington insider? Just asking? Any opinions?

If we are ever to have universal healthcare, we should look to stopping the John Edwards of this world. Not John Edwards the pandering politician, but the John Edwards who was a ambulance chasing personal injury lawyer. Healthcare is so much more expensive than it needs to be because of his ilk. The overly obsessive judgements against doctors, hospitals and their insurance companies are the sole reason that costs have gone through the roof. Doctors and hospitals have to perform unnecessary and expensive tests to protect their butts against these blood sucking lawyers. Doctors are not gods, they cant fix every ill, they cant heal every injury. Change the malpractice lawsuits problem and healthcare will be more affordable. Also there are many young people, primarily men, that think they will never get sick or injured and CHOOSE to not pay for insurance. Should the rest of us have to ante up for their choices.

you HYPOCRITICAL republicans should shut your filthy mouths. how much special interest money did BUSH take? we democrats will deal with HILLARY, why dont you deal with the problem you have given the world for the past 6 years!!!The nerve of some people!!!!

Ah, yes joe anderson, with the Repulsicans and Democraps actually behaving more and more alike, (R's want spend more without taxation & D's want to spend more with taxation being basically the only difference in application) it won't be long until we're back to the welfare state you D's want to wallow in. Take from those who will do and are successful and give to those who won't make an effort and will never accomplish anything. Do it in the name of being humanitarian, while ignoring the fact that human beings who are expected to achieve something in life will generally do so. Yet you want to create a society in which there is no competitiveness and achievement is frowned upon because there will be winners and losers. It also means that humanity will have reversed evolution as the losers dominate the species and dumb it down. The more losers there are, the more dumbed down Democraps there will be. What a wonderful future to look forward to.

Once again the public get to see how elected officials like H. Clinton and others are more interested in their own welfare and filling their pockets by accepting financial and other compensation from lobbyist who are only interested in bigger profits for health care providers and the pharmaceutical industry not the health of the American public. America needs honest political officials that are truly interested in obtaining affordable health care

And which " distinguished member of the vast right wing conspiracy press" held a fund raiser for Sen.Clinton??

RUPERT MURDOCH, FOX'S RUPERT MURDOCH

Don't know about you, but that tells me way too much about candidate Clinton.

Did Moore mention that in England, there are 2,000,000 people on the waiting list for health care, 200,000 waiting to get on the 'waiting' list and, 6,000,000 that have 'Private' health care. Wow, bring on that Universal Health Care! Oh I'm sorry, did Moore miss that fact?
And why do the liberals defend a liberal who gets caught with their finger in the cookie jar with 'But Bush or some Conservative did it'?

Hillary has the worst health care proposal among Democratic candidates. Surprise - it looks like it was written by HMOs for HMOs.

Living in the UK, I wouldn't want to say too much about the situation in the US. However the National Health Service in the UK, though far from perfect, still operates after nearly 60 years on the principle of health care & treatment for all, funded by a system of national taxation. I know that tax is a dirty word with a lot of Americans, but here in the UK, apart from occasional grumblings by a few, no-one would dream of having any other form of healthcare system.

After watching M Moore's movie Sicko, I am more convinced than ever that we will NEVER be able to disengage the stranglehold that the health care industry has on us short of a revolution. Even if there were an honest politician riding on his white horse to "save" America, they would assassinate him if they couldn't buy him off first. What chance do Americans have when they are up against that much money and power???? A person would have to be a complete and utter idiot to think that ANY politician alive today, would be able to change the health care system.
