...I am sure Moore and his friends got the “head of state” version.

Imported Spanish doctors?

Moore is a clown.

It's very sad if he's been a victim of theft.

Considering that he and his fellow travellers advocate using the brute force of government to steal money from those who work to give to those who won't work, I won't feel too sorry for him.

You need the VLC player to watch it, apparently.

there is clearly something horribly wrong with a system that is this absurdly expensive.

An interesting note: In a typical hospital you will find doctors making six-figure incomes, and volunteers working for free.
The real reason that health care is so expensive is because of Gov't involvement. Medicaid/Medicair will pay only what they want to pay, regardless how much they are billed. The rest of us have to pick up the slack in the form of higher costs for medical care.

A lot of those doctors making six-figure incomes are also paying six-figure malpractice-insurance premiums.

“I have yet to receive a convincing explanation of why health care is this expensive”

Simple.

You are paying for all the people who don’t have health insurance.

Well, yes, I agree there should be conservative documentaries, but there is probably little or no infrastructure to produce and fund such enterprises, never mind thecreative side. That said, Michael Moore's movies are not documentaries. They are personal video editorials constructed out of outright bald-faced lies. Michael Moore's trick is to take video and then extensively edit it to make it say whatever fits his view. This is an example of what he does:

Original Video Interview Statement from Michael Moore's Mother:

Michael Moore is a nice guy, but he should take care not to eat too much or he could get fat and I feel like an idiot for not helping him understand this better.

Michael Moore Type Film Editing:

Michael Moore is a nice guy, but he should take care not to eat too much or he could get fat and I feel like an idiot for not helping him understand this better.

He said that this, of course, made him question the truth about the rest of the film, no matter how pretty it was.

That's always the case with Moore. He makes a couple of valid points and then trashes them with BS. Entertaining but not believable, just like Al Gore.

I won’t even watch it for free and I doubt if I’m the only one that feels that way. I personally believe it was leaked to the Internet on purpose so that when the grosses are an abomination they can blame it on the Internet and not on Moore’s 15 minutes of fame being over. Do you think anyone will make a film about this conspiracy theory?

Yes, Roger & Me was amusing, seemingly, but it was built on a lie from beginning to end.

Unnecessarily so, since it could have been done easily enough while telling the truth.

I’m not a great fan of Big Business and Detroit, but I’m also not much of a fan of Communist nut cases. A pox on both their houses.

You’re an idiot. That wonderful movie ‘Roger and Me’ caught Bob Eubanks telling an off color, but harmless joke. Bob was there doing a fund-raiser for the people of Flint. Michael Moore was a vampire sucking off the carcass of the town. Bob Eubanks was blacklisted and never worked again because of that self righteous fat scumbag,

Too bad they use BitTorrent, I never could get that software to work right.

It's available on the donkey network also. If you haven't used that network, just get a copy of amule for a client and have at it.

Mr. Moore -

It's a shame about your movie being leaked. You will, of course, pardon me if I watch it for free. After all, you and your grandfather both preached how great socialism is and that personal property is evil. I just want to see your film in its proper context.

Best of luck in finding an MD in this country to help you with the bypass you are going to need in the next 2 years. After the smear job you have no doubt cooked up for the medical profession in this country, I hope you can't even buy aspirin any more.
