Michael Moore's Latest Target: Your HMO

[Southpaw]

I can't stand Michael Moore because he twists facts and flat out lies to make his point, but I would love to see him to take a shot at the healthcare system because for whatever reason, he ruffles the feathers of the decision makes.

I have a friend who has to take Rhemicade for a condition. Rhemicade is an intravenous drug that he gets every eight weeks and basically allows him to live his life normally(lift weights, rock climb, etc). Without it, he'd be in extreme pain and his joints would lock up. The cost of this wonder drug is $20,000 per treatment, for 32oz of liquid that is very easy to synthesize and mass produce. Fortunately, he has very good insurance that covers it, but what about people with poor or no health insurance? I'd be willing to bet that if you don't have health insurance, you can't afford 60k-120k per year to be able to live like everyone else.
