  • Moore's Sicko

    Have you seen it?

    I think it's boring. Not very interesting. I think it was a good angle to pick up the people who have medical insurance and how they got screwed instead of people who don't have it, because it's simply more interesting IMO.

    Umm, how is this new though? This is so old, I mean if you're going to really do this, you better dig and you better, you know, get some real results.

    As if it is a shocking revelation, that insurance companies in general are businesses. Businesses make profit. So the way it works is simple. You want a customer to pay for some service that they might need or do need, you make them pay the maximum amount you can get them to agree upon and then produce the service with as little as possible, in case of insurances, hells yeah there will be a fight with what the customer thought to be a trivial case.

    Is it moral? No. It's horrible. It's almost like a legalized way to steal and in this case, you can't go much lower since you're playing with people's health, possibly life, at the worst time of their life when they aren't up to a fight. But we know this already. Who doesn't know how these thing work? So what's the point to begin with...

    Even a bigger illusion is that goverment cares for you personally. No they don't. They don't even know you. The difference is, you don't have a fighting chance against a government, that's the difference.

        For somebody so concerned about healthcare, he really doesn't show it...is all I'm saying.

        He's a ****ing media-whore loser. All he cares about is sensationalism.

          Right, it is quite ironic, that he is the model of killing yourself and not too slowly either. I mean it's a GUARANTEED low life expectancy and he could easily reduce the risk and prolong his own freaking life. But he chooses not to do that. It's his life, so I don't mind, but still to make a documentary about healthcare is kind of funny.

            Ha! Shows what you know. At his last media-whore event, he stated he's now losing weight so as to lessen the burden on our healthcare system.

            A weighty declaration, I must say. It takes a big man to step up like this.

              Yeah, and he still is so grossly overweight that I don't think he is eligble for insurance.

                  exactly...

                  It was marketing mind control, sending those signals to your head when you were a kid, thinking McD is good, Ronald McDonald is a friendly figure and all that stuff... mind control man.

                    How old is the guy? His doctors told him he's going to die soon unless he loses weight. That's what he's doing.

                    Shame on you for thinking his intentions were anything but selfish. The guy's a fatass, always has been, and now he's pretending to care about health.

                      Asher, I'm with you on this one. He needs to _seriously_ work more and soon. He CAN get healthy, but he needs to really really work and not stop because this film is finished.

                      However, the film itself is crap. Why? Well, there's a Euro trip, how everything is so wonderful in all countries. I mean sure, health care is decent in here, it's not like it's horrible. It's decent, sometimes it's good. Sometimes it sucks ass.

                      But he found no problems, just happy customers "Oh I've been here for 15 minutes". OK. Where did you find that guy? I don't think I've ever been called in 15 minutes, ever (except with private docs).

                      Second of all, it was like ooh we get free nannies to do our laundry if we are mothers adn they cook meal for us for free. OK I've never heard of that, but that sounds ridiculous waste of money anyway.

                      Then the best part, he concluded that this system must be so expensive that people really pay for it. OK. Then he goes to, "Let's see how MIDDLE CLASS FRENCH FAMILY IS DOING". As to show hwo they can survive the taxes and the other things that goes into paying for the system.

                      A normal looking house. Then what was the monthly income? 8 thousand dollars! Dude, is that middle class in France? MIght be, I don't know. In here, that's filthy ****ing rich! Average monthly salary is around 2000 euros, so two people, that's 4 grand on average about for a family where both are working. I don't see where these 8 grand babies come out, that's doctors and lawyers in here man.

                      Maybe I should move to France then, if middle class is chunking up to 100 grand a year, because I could score a bit above that.
