Has anyone watched it yet? I watched it a few weeks ago, and have to say that Michael Moore has possibly made me question the Health Care industry sadly. Although I hate Michael Moore with a passion, this movie is worth a seeing. If you have seen, what do you think, and what are your changed and or unchanged views on the health care system?

What makes you hate Michael Moore so much? You must be a Republican.

But anyways, I've really been wanting to see this. Last week I was skimming through the channels and saw Fox news talking about it... and oh my God. They COMPLETELY ran him into the ground, like they always do with any non-Republican. It amuses me how biased they really are. But seeing that made me want to see it even more. _smile.gif

Hmm... Is this the one about the insurance scamming people?

I remember hearing both Democrats and Republicans praising this thing (if that's even of any significance, I don't remember).

Really? I always thought most Republicans were against universal health care.

I hate Michael Moore because he likes to stir shit for profit.

You could not have guess more correctly, I am a conservative, a conservative who HATES Fox News, and any BIG NEWS corporation at that. CNN is the worst BTW. Although Fox News does have a Democratic co host of a TV show, they try to be "Fair and balanced" like all other news channels try, and they all fail at it.

Also, its not just republicans who have fought for the health care system we have today. Back in the Bill Clinton days Hillary fought for a better health care system, and like all politicians, she was bought out for a good $800 million.

No more than any politician though. He's obviously making movies to make money, but I think he's also making them on what he truly believes.

Eh, CNN's okay, but not as bad as Fox. MSNBC seems to be the most rounded and less-biased in my opinion. Fox just seems to throw in too much of their own opinions. Not so much when they're just going over live news... but with like Bill O'Riley and those jokers. I think Fox is by far the most biased.

What? I'm not understanding that.

No, Hilary's health care plan didnt happen because it didnt receive enough support for a floor vote in neither the House nor the Senate. wink.gif

Well when I hear something besides "IED" or "Death" from someone on CNN about Iraq I will change my opinion. Maybe a topic on schools being opened or something like that.

I have yet to see a movie made by a politician. I have seen movies about a politician, once they died.
