I'm sure Moore's new documentary propaganda film will include a segment on the wonders of Cuba's free medical care.

[Perdogg]

How fat is michael moore now?? He needs to worry about his own health care.

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

So stay tuned for where this movie has led me.

Duncan Donut shops in each of the fifty states? I can't wait.

"They're so hip [to me] that whenever we have a family" with a health-care nightmare "they get free health care," Mr. Moore said during panel discussions last month at his second annual Traverse City Film Festival in Michigan. "There has been a 100% success rate of the people we're filming of getting whatever they need from the HMOs, pharmaceutical companies, whatever."

Taking a page from the Jesse Jackson 'shakedown' playbook.

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

oops, that's Dunkin.

[RexBeach]

Gosh, Michael Moore writes so well, doesn't he?

He eats well, too, apparently.

Hide the donuts!!! Here comes Michael Moore!!!

[Huntress]

I don't care about his health care. I just want him to shut up.

Since the release of this film is set to coincide with the runup to the 08 presidential election and will undoubtedly mirror one of the political parties planks, the total cost of the film should be considered an in kind contribution to that party and be subject to campaign finance laws.

Sure fire nominee at the 2008 Academy Awards for "Best Documentary."

Once he wins, he can give a heartfelt speech for the 2008 liberal candidate of his choice.

To read about the misery people are put through on a daily basis by our profit-based system was both moving and revolting.

In Moore's mind the only legitimate profit-based system is his film-making. He's a habitual liar and a disgusting hypocrite.

[Nathan Zachary]

LoL! I was thinking the same thing. Lets hope Moore has his heart attack while he's stuffing his fat face in some 3rd world communist Paradise.

Health care is having to purchase super-size equipment now for the patients the size of Michael Moore.

[Bigh4u2]

I hope he has one of those upcoming candidates in his film.

It will have to be pulled 60 days before the primary according to McCain/Feingold.

Wouldn't that just tick him off!

Probably eat himself into a coma!


LOL!

[rhombus]

I don't care about his health care. I just want him to shut up.

Nah, the more he talks (and makes movies) the more he discredits the issues he goes after. After F 9/11 people are well aware that he has no credibility. He is just preaching to his choir. These people have no political clout and will just keep forking over cash to buy Moore's considerable meals. We shall see if he's invited to the Dem convention in 2008. We can only hope the Dems shame themselves once again.

[Tulsa Ramjet]

Regardless of it being Moore, does any one else here think there might be a problem with healthcare costs? If so, what are some answers?

[VA_Gentleman]

Since Michael Moore is so concerned about our evil "profit-based system" I'm sure that he's going to donate all profits from this movie in an effort to help correct the problem. </sarcasm

[weegee]

Maybe Lumpy Riefenstahl will pimp for Castro's solution to the AIDS crisis. Concentration camps.

Fat Mike is a miserable failure.

Another RAT agenda film by the sniveling liberal crowd.
