Don’t you think it needs some review when it is paying for cosmetic procedures, breast implants and vaginal reconstructions?
Regardless of the name of the health program, it has to be shielded from abuse and greedy operators that tend to forget the true purpose of a medical facility. Unfortunately our system has been allowed to run amock for decades, fooled into believing ‘market forces’ will police the whole thing. If anything needs regulation and controls it’s the helthcare/pharmaceuticals industries, yet out ‘political elite’ seem to have screwed that up as well.

Isn’t Michael Moore the one that starred in “The Blob”? I thought that was his finest work…

How about a naked Mandy Moore picture? Can’t find one? Photoshop her head on some skank like Britney or Christina Hagulera’s naked body… pretend you thought she was Michael’s daughter and delete all posts pointing out the obvious. Do it for the team!

“Michael Moore has nothing to gain from this, so don’t bash the messenger.”

Yes he does: millions of dollars and numerous awards from his liberal buddies in Hollywood. He’s a senasationalist, propagandist, and a deceptive asshole, both professionally and in person.

Maybe Moore should do a film on a subject he knows something about like Obesity. Oh wait, then he would have to blame himself……..Nevermind!

A quick note: Peter Travers is actually a really great movie critic and one of the few writers at RS who still deserves respect. That said, he is very liberal and there is a conflict of interest when he reviews Michael Moore’s stuff. Because of that, I don’t put much stock into his review or reviews of a lot of politically driven movies. As a critic, when objectability is lost so is the value of your analysis.

Hey Prop: What DO YOU BELIEVE???? Quit bashing the messenger’s motives, and give an opinion. Are his points valid? Does he have a message? All you do is bash, bash, bash the messengers and writers and posters. It’s getting really old. If you don’t believe anything you read, then why do you read this stuff? Dig a hole and hide.

“(Michael Moore is) a sensationalist, propagandist, and a deceptive asshole, both professionally and in person.”

“Peter Travers is actually a really great movie critic…”

Ummm… I don’t like Michael Moore, but I enjoy Travers film analysis as long as it’s not political pieces. Pretty clear to me…

P.S. I never bashed Travers (please read). Just said there was a conflict of interest on this review. He’s a great critic when he’s writing reviews that aren’t inherently subjective.

Hallzee liberals never blame themselves they are victims. He will blame big fast food.

I guess, if you can afford a computer, maybe you have a more elitist attitude about who deserves health care. I think everyone does. What’s wrong with that?

Beth says… “Canada and the UK are having serious talks about reforming their State run health care system”.

Not true, really. First, our health care system isn’t state-run. It’s our insurance that is government-run. However, in reading blogs from Americans, I realize that the great fear is that some bureaucrat in some far-off place will be making decisions about what services are provided. That’s simply not the way it works. Your doctor is the one who decides what treatment is needed, and the government just pays the bills. Sure, there are challenges to our healthcare system — but these arise from three factors: an aging population, the high costs of new technologies, and the high costs of pharmaceuticals. Healthcare systems are of necessity a work-in-progress — they need to be to keep evolving to maintain their ability to respond to the changing realities of population demographics and new technologies. Some people will always complain about the way things are, but there are very few Canadians who would trade our health care system for any other.

fyi: Nazi murder spree, cover-up, corruption at Days Inn, CNA/Loews, and AHLA …

Days Inn’s nazi shrine at it’s flagship hotel was insured by CNA, a division of Loews, owned by the Tisch family. Jon Tisch is a former head of the American Hotel Lodging Association. When Nazi Tom Metzger stated, “I remember the good ole Days Inn, Georgia”, he referenced the flagship property of the 1800 unit chain.

3 sets of Miami homicides from the 1970’s have been solved. They each had a nick-name … “The Hepatitis Murders”, The “Miami Rampage Murders”, and “The Building Toss Murders”. All 3 sets had 20 victims perish. They were committed by the same gang of young pro-nazi perpetrators with high-up connections in Dade County.

The perpetrators are:

1) Tom Tobin, Atlanta, GA – now a magistrate in Atlanta. Son of Mami judge, David Tobin.
2) John Snodgrass, Atlanta, GA – formerly CEO of Days Inn hotels and formerly president of Cendant Corp..
3) Doug Collins, Atlanta, GA – formerly president of Days Inn and CEO of Buckhead America, a hotel management company.
4) Anthony Marshall, Orlando, FL – formerly Dean of F.I.U.’s hotel college and current director of the American Hotel Lodging Association in Orlando
5) Frederick W. Tokars – United States Federal Prisoner #40099-066, formerly a Judge pro temp in Atlanta and City of Atlanta prosecutor.

1) “The Hepatitis Murders” – victims were administered a lethal combination of “Hepatitis D” and “Hepatitis B” in the form of feces. Within 4 mos., the victims developed jaundice, diahrreha, emaciation, before their deaths. The Hepatitis “D” was supplied to the group by the brother of 1 of the perpetrators, Dr. Jerome Tokars, jr., in practice today at the CDC in Atlanta. Tokars, Collins, Tobin, and Snodgrass injected the victims with the Hepatitis “D” and within days, forced the feces of Anthony Marshall into the victims orally. Among the victims are:

Helen Whited, daughter of the editor-in-chief of the Miami Herald
Captain Steven Rabinovich, Eastern Air Lines
Don Oglesby, a medical student at the U. of Maimi
Dana St. Claire, a senior at Carol City High School
Bob Bowers, a resident of Miami
Alan Moyers, a resident of Miami and Navy officer
Randall Clark, a student at the U. of Arizona who died in his home in Albequerque in 1975.
Dokie Williams, a player on the Oakland Raiders football team.

I believe that these 5 also participated in the same M.O. in the deaths of 5 U.S. Army personell at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu in the mid-1980’s.

The “Hepatitis Murders” may have been re-classified as a “failed medical experiment” over the objections of Dr. Joe Davis, M.E.. I believe that the re-classification of these murders was coerced at the insistence of those connected to the perpetrators and done so at gun-point.

2) The “Building Toss” murders.

20 victims thrown to their deaths in Miami in the mid-70’s. The persons responsible are Tobin, Tokars, Snodgrass, and Collins. I do not believe that Anthony Marshall of Orlando participated in these homicides though I am certain he was aware of them being committed by these persons aforehand.

3) The “Miami Rampage Murders” – over a period of 2 weeks, 20 persons were beaten, shot, and stabbed to death by the 4 younger persons of the gang, Tokars, Collins, Snodgrass, and Tobin.

I believe that the persons responsible for these 3 sets of these murders should be brought to justice and convicted and sentenced to life in prison. This information can be confirmed in interview with U.S. Federal Prisoner #40099-066, Frederick W. Tokars.

Why is it that because Travers heard some people call Michael Moore an annoying fat guy, that he has to take this into account in his review? Really. Why is that?
Does that have to be acknowledged by him?
Why?
And why does it make him apologetic for liking the film? Is he afraid that people won’t think he knows that they think he’s fat and annoying? Can’t we just put all of these negative haters into a little room together and let them complain and criticize each other and cook for each other and trash each others’ cooking and make fun of each others’ clothes and tell each other to take care of themselves? This review reminds me of a kid who likes the fat kid or the kid other kids make fun of and can’t just be man enough to talk about the kid he likes on his own merits.
He has to put the kid down to his friends, even though he likes him.
