An opposing viewpoint from Kyle Smith:

And, Democrats not ready to embrace Moore' prescription:

Re: Michael Moore's Latest Target: Your HMO

He's a jackass, always has been, always will be. EVERYTHING can be better, no matter what it is, so he makes money off of telling people that things need to be better, but is nowhere to be found when things actually need to be fixed. Not to mention the fact that he lied left and right in that Farenheit 911. (for those that saw that, you really need to see farenhype 911)
I'm sure this has already been said, but his ass should be in jail for going to cuba. He broke the law ON FILM. Throw the book at him boys!

Re: Michael Moore's Latest Target: Your HMO

I just paid my water bill. Now, water is the most basic of human needs, so if healthcare is a "right" and should be "paid for by the government" ("free" to the less economically astute among us) then surely water should be as well. Ditto food, heat, and in certain areas AC (we can't have grandma falling over from heatstroke). Sex is a basic human need or "right". I expect Hillary to do something about that as soon as she is elected. Well, not her personally, but perhaps a voucher for the Bunny Ranch or something. Those greedy prostitutes, making money off of a basic human necessity. Down with hos and HMOs. And these constant Bear attacks. I am so sick of these constant Bear attacks.

Remember when KFC did an add campaign about how there stuff was all "low carb". I just thought that was hilarious. Wanna bet some ad guy got a bonus for that one?

Hi we're KFC - no carbs in fried chicken so don't worry! What? The eight cups of fat in one drumstick? No worries!!! It's not carbs!!! Yeah!!

Re: Michael Moore's Latest Target: Your HMO

i love how people look at party affiliation, and dismiss new ideas before reading or learning the plan

I love that too. The important thing is that the program does in fact cost not a penny more than what is already spent on healthcare.

The difference? Cutting out the insurance companies - they use up 33% approximately of all health care costs. That savings means, for one thing, that 18,000 people will no longer need to die in the United States every year due to lack of health insurance, and bankruptcies will decline dramatically.

This is the future, it is only a question of how soon we get there.

If you read that stuff closer you will see little things thrown in to make things look worse as in the how they mention bankruptcies. If you read they say medical bills and dept. Well last time I check dept was allways a big reason people went bankrupt and they just slide that in to make the numbers higher. They also talked about a lady who injured her arm in an accident 5 years ago and was denied coverage because of prexsisting condition. I would also like to know the rest of that story because that makes no sense at all and is a very poor example. If you have health ins. like they said she did you can move it to another co. and they cannot not underwrite pre exsisting conditions. I know this for a fact as I just switched health ins. and my daughter had racked up 50 or so thousand in med bills which they could not underwrite against because we had prior ins. They also seem to skip around any real numbers to the cost of this program. They use a guy who owns a business and cannot afford to pay his $400 per month ins. but they some how think that he could afford to pay for his and his 4 emp. under this new plan. Huh! If I had time I could find more errors or lake of information about this plan and wanting us Americans to give our goverment control of around 10% of our economy for them to control and run like a well oil machine just like Social Security. As I said bad idea no matter what party is in control.

Re: Michael Moore's Latest Target: Your HMO

First off nothing is provide at no extra cost because it has a cost to provide the coverage unless the doctors agree to provide those services for free. Second can anyone come up with any goverment program that has not cost more than what they said it would. Someone mentioned that the insurance Co. use up 33% of the health care cost so that means that the goverment is going to run the system for less? I doupt that. If its past come every election polititcians will run on promisses of getting new things covered and that won't drive prices up. So how much is everyone will to pay for this health ins. 15%, 20% tax increase. We all hear that 40 million Americans do not have health ins and its implyed that they cant afford coverage which is only a half truth. How many of these are younger people who just don't feel they need coverage because they are young and healthy maybe 10 to 15 million? How many of these people decide just to risk it and go out and buy a new car or a bigger house and just don't buy health ins.? 10 million or so. So now we are down to maybe 10 to 20 million people and we want to risk our entire health program on such a few. Lets fix what we have and move on. I don'r care if this is a Dem. or Rep. idea.

Michael Moore's next target: the next Pit Pirates' BBQ event.






This idiot will just continue to get more and more insane just to try to stay in the spotlight of those who are even more insane than he is because they believe the crap that spews out of his mouth.
