What say Moore and the left about the medical apartheid that goes on in Cuba?
Double bag... you weren’t kidding.
We are the richest country in the world,” the director said. “We spend more on health care than any other country. Yet we have the worst health care in the Western world. Come on. We can do better than this.”
Hey Mike, we are the richest country on earth, because we can spend more money on health care. We have the worst health care in the Western World? You sir are a fool! People come here to get health care. You don’t see large numbers of Americans leaving the U.S. for medical treatment. If you have a cold or need stitches, then the Cuban medical system is fine. If, however, you need a specialist eye doctor (like I do) or a specialist in any field (which many Americans do), then you would be an absolute dolt to go anywhere else.
:::rolling eyes::: What a maroon.
Cuba's life expectancy from birth is 77.08 years (74.85 male, 79.43 female). In the US it's 78 years (75.15 male, 80.97 female). Close?
Maybe, BUT the Cubans have about 0 mortality from crack cocaine, because they can't afford drugs. They have about 0 mortality from drive-by shootings, because they can't have guns. And they have about 0 mortality from obesity because, with the exception of Fidel, they're all thin because the can't afford food.
And in any case, no matter how you slice it, 77 is still a smaller number than 78.
Too bad Mr. Moore went to Public Skrool, otherwise he'd know that.

Publicity stunt. Moore has weeks of individual news items planned with the MSM. That is the only way he builds up hype for his trash of lies. Watch for another next week as well. Fat boys’ bank account must be getting thin.
Go to www.therealcuba.com and look under ‘free health care?’
then ask if Moore and stooges were treated like real cubans!
So there I was with a group of sick people,” he says. “What was I going to do?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
The sickest of them was the big fat ugly retarded dipstick leading the pack.
He set this up and the people who went with him were a part of the frame up of the United States, They should be ashamed.
Moore is an egocentric idiot. Lately, the Cannes has become nothing more than a breeding ground for liberal propaganda.
Notice their fat asses alway run back here to the US! Why don’t they stay in the Workers’ Paradise?!
Where is the daily new coverage of all the boats sailing from Florida, headed for Cuba, land of Free and Wonderful Health Care For All?
Why isn't the news media covering this vast flotilla of medical refugees crossing the sea to get their share of CastroCare?
Who is responsible for this massive coverup?
the only reason michael moore and his cohors want this, is because they assume they will be on the top of the feeding chain. Without the middle class in this country spending money on those boneheads in this country, they’d be at the bottom of the barrell and about as bad off as those poor in cuba.
He's clever, and he has a talent for outrageous, clever, and funny satire. I had to laugh at Roger and Me.
His humor--absurd though it is--is far more clever than the tiresome, scatolic bilge (not that Moore's isn't bilge), that substitutes shock value for cleverness, foisted repeatedly on the public by so-called "comedians".
If Moore--or anybody else--wants to make American health care affordable, then remove the lawyers. The cost of health care could be reduced by half simply by eliminating the Malpractice Crisis. The hidden tax in all health care costs is the plaintiffs' awards, the lawyers' fees, court costs, and the fear of all of them.
If and when government takes over health care, government itself will end the Malpractice Crisis, because ending it is the only way that it will ever become affordable, and politicians and burocrats will have no intention of passing that kind of money on to lawyers and plaintiffs.
Until the American people either (1) bring the Malpractice Crisis to a halt or (2) establish socialized (or communized) medical care, which will bring the Malpractice Crisis to a halt, U.S. health care will remain unaffordable to everyone.
Ask the cubans here what kind of health care Cuba has. I was listening to Schnitt one day, medical health care people were calling in, having a fit. They said when they went they even had to bring their own supplies because the island situation was so pitiful.
I agree. He’s good at what he does. Providing shock, misery and endless conspiracy theories for the weak-minded.
I still remember his show TV Nation. It was extreme, but politically borderline down the middle. I’ll admit it, I liked it. Looking back and saying that seems scary. (How was I sucked in?)
Then The Awful Truth came out and you could see a shift to the left. After that, he found his audience (or life-line, if you will) and it’s been pure BS ever since.
It’s all math: he has to be careful. Stay right on the tip of the curve. Go too far over the dip, and, yes, you’ll still have extreme wackos following you, but your “credibility” starts to slip. Don’t go far enough, and you lose your typical liberal bash-Bush gold mine.
