We Don't NEED No Stinkin Healthcare

Let us hope it is equally appreciated in the good ol' US of A, though I'm not holding my breath, judging by the reaction of his previous but equally prophetic looks at things all of which could be changed for far less than the cost of the war in Iraq.  For the millions of Americans without health care, there is a smaller but vocal group who are quick to yell that this will be the death of us, not least among them the very large and often corrupt health care providers who are exposed to a great extent in this film.

Several nations with a good system have proven to have much better care all around, and a healthier population.  The naysayers seem to have but one refrain: "if they had a decent job, they'd HAVE health care, just like me!"  I'm certain the millions who do NOT have a decent job with benefits would love to join that vocal, fat, dumb, and happy  club.  Somehow, national health care is viewed as a left wing pinko commie plot, which will deprive them of their coverage, and bring them down to the level of all, rather than save lives, and ensure a decent quality of life for the majority.   Let's hope this film opens some eyes before it's too late. After all, Moore has proven himself right, far too many years later in some of his other films which were met with scorn and contempt by many at the time.  The tragedy of Bowling for Columbine, Roger And Me, and Farenheit 9/11 are now seen as truthful, if uncomfortable warning.  Michael Moore lauded in Cannes  (Times Argus)
