richest country in the world? not even close
Shitiest health care in the world? not even close

jeffry22 · Jun 29, 2007

I have health insurance and feel I get excellent care. I am not unusual. maybe 85% of americans have health ins, of the 15% that dont probably half dont want it. This country is known worldwide as having the best care money can buy in spite of what assholes like michael moore say. so why dont you shut the fuck up!

Moore's intentions are to make the viewer feel like they are having the wool pulled over their eyes...and they are having the wool pulled over their eyes, but it's actually Moore doing the pulling.

He will stoop to the lowest levels in order to paint his foes in a bad light and to fool the movie viewers. He purposefully misrepresents situations, he takes things way out of context, he edits very shrewdly and his movies are unilateral slime jobs. In other words, he is a big fat lying sack of shit.

Not even close? On the two factors you would rate a question like that the US is #1 in GDP and #2 in GNP.

Not even close? That almost sounds like you would suggest we are a 'third world country?'

How much was a cup of the KOOL-AID you had before the movie ???? who sold it to you ,,,,,,,, alec baldwin or al franken ?? or was it charles sheen ? GOD BLESS AMERICA !! i hope Moore doesnt get sick soon,, it will take some time to get to cuba ,,,,, after all , they have the best doctors and system

Wonder if there's a correlation between being an uneducated hick, loving Bush and hating Moore ... hmmmmm.

I agree ... a push for national health care is silly when that money could be used for 'better' causes like Iraq.

That's a great quote (not joking). Not to mention how shitty it would be. It really tells a story when Canadians come to the US to pay money for an operation when they could have it done for "free."

So I assume you moore hating morons are willing to have worse health care than Morrocco and Oman.

It absolutely baffles me that people let their hate of Michael Moore get in the way of this issue, and it also amazes me that people can make an honest argument that our health care system is fine.

Newsflash: Every single industrialized western nation other than the US manages to provide health care to its citizens.

Isnt it patently UNAMERICAN to say that we cant do this too? For the life of me I cant understand people who think it is offensive to question this, or to suggest that we arent the best in the world at everything.

Hating michael moore is fine, but saying that the current healthcare system in the US if fine too is just ignorant.

Love or hate his work, Moore is the best film maker of documentary for our generation.

85% of Americans are covered? What?

onemwtheone · Jun 29, 2007

100% are covered. No one is turned away at the emergency room.

Wait - I take that back - most localities can't ask about citizenship status. We're actually over 100%,

About 16% (47 million) americans are not covered by any health insurance.

This does not include anyone covered by Medicare or Medicaid.

These people are typically the lower middle class, who are not indigent enough to qualify for medicaid but do not make enough income to get insurance. Most of these people are employed.

fucluc

:lolBIG:

so the fact that we are "far from last" in the world is ok with you?

Huh?

Its ok with you that America is behind Denmark? Thats ok with you?

For the life of me I cant understand why some people cant just say "there is something wrong here..." because it seems to be sacriligious to an american to admit there is anything wrong.

Do you think there is something wrong?

And BTW - I did not purposely cut that list off at 40 because I wanted to deceive anyone. I did it to not make a non important long list of a post. Is it important to you that we are ahead of Nigeria in health care? Do you really think anyone with a brain thinks that there are only 40 countries in the world? Did you think that was part of my plan? Im amazed with your stupidity.

Its more important to you to prove that we are better than Lesotho and less important to you that we are behind Costa Rica.

Jesus, no wonder this shit happens.
