19,000 discontented health care patients out of how many millions per day getting treatment and care?

Unfortunately our health system can stand some tweaking. There are too many working folks that can't afford good health care.

Fifty cents says that he'll use this "documentary" for some kind of stock manipulation scheme involving stocks he already owns or stocks that he might buy somewhere down the road.

Don't put it past him,boys and girls because he's one of the greediest "progressives" you'll ever run across.

Except for the Kerrys,of course.

I wish these idiots would stop using the term "documentary" to describe Disgusting Fatbody's celluloid excrement. Since when are forced confrontations, made-up "facts" and removal of context considered "documentary"?

The health care industry would do best to just ignore this slob until he has his first heart attack.

Then, maybe, ignore him some more.

Exactly. It's propaganda, plain and simple. Someone please define "documentary."

I'm waiting for Hillary Clinton to review this movie. She's the smartest woman in America and as unelected (unconstitutional) co-president (or co-dictator) she tried to take over the health care industry.

AND she had pharmacutical companies in her investment porfolio (and we all know how she was able to turn a $1,000 investment into $100,000).

If anyone should know about the health care industry in America, it is Queen Hill.

Liberals always say 45 million don't have healthcare. Now of that 45 million, i'm sure a lot are bumming free health care off emergency rooms/etc. or opting not to have it.

Even so that leaves 255 million who have healthcare. So 85% of this country is covered, and 15% isn't. Nobody EVER mentions that. So what do we do, completely screw it over for the other 85% for that 15%? I think not.

Is he going to mention that the "Health Care President" did NOTHING for 8 years except to allow the HMO Beasts to rise up!

The mass media would be best advised to label this crud as propaganda first and only. It would be like hyping some new video from the KKK as a documentary.

Gives it far more credibility that it is owed.

"... we tell them 'Sicko' is a comedy about 45 million people with no health care"

No health insurance is not no health care.

If some healthy, single 28-year-old chooses not to pay $400/month for health insurance, that's his choice.

I like the little bee Nasonex uses. I dream about him when I sleep with the help of my Ambien cr. If it wasn't for my Requip I doubt I would ever stop moving my legs long enough to sleep. I find that using a Segway I can stop my legs from moving entirely. This post has made me nauseous. Where is my 15 day free trial of Nexium?

The more people get "free" health care, like moore himself brags about, the more we have to pay to cover those costs. Nothing is "free".
All these illegal immigrants piling into ER's are what's driving up your premiums, along with the lawyers chasing ambulances. When the cost of delivery goes up, so does the cost of the insurance premium which ultimately is what pays for the health care you need.

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?

As one who worked in health care for 20+ years (at a world famous hospital),I have a couple.

1)Lawyers

2)Patients who demand to see a neurosurgeon every time they're hit on the head with a wiffle ball.

3)The fact that average 15 year old (and the average 50 year old) is at least 30 pounds overweight.

"There has been a 100% success rate of the people we're filming of getting whatever they need from the HMOs, pharmaceutical companies, whatever."

The same can be said of many news program "action teams" when there is a dispute, whether it is over misplaced drycleaning, a pothole that isn't getting fixed, a bad haircut, or someone needing reconstructive cosmetic surgery.

Actually Hillary's bleatings put the insurance companies on the defensive for a couple of years. Before she was shot down, rates were mysteriously going down for a couple of years. I remember well because I do our renewals.

The problem with the cost of health care is that it seems "free" to its primary consumers. The solution is to make the consumers have to actually pay for it again.

Most of my dreams are about Digger,the dematphyte...you know,a nail infection.It's no use for me to take my Cialis because my wife says that with my flaky,discolored nails,it's *never* the right time for her.

Screw 'em. They should have planned better.
