A smash hit at the Cannes Film Festival, Michael Moore's next
documentary "Sicko" will open in the U.S. in June. It asks the
nagging question: WHY, in a nation of vast wealth, does the U.S. have
50 million of its human being citizens denied MEDICAL INSURANCE?
The answers of course are:
1) Fair-play in medicine scares the hell out of religious
conservatives who believe that poverty and bad luck are sent from
"god" or jesus, or god, jesus, joseph, and mary! Kind of an
intelligent design system.
2) The vast and rich U.S. health community -- medicine-makers,
hospital conglomerates, doctors, "health plans," politicians supported
by the pharmaceutical giants (including your White House war
criminal), and, naturally, lawyers -- want to protect their gaudy turf
from having to serve low- and non-paying poor people. (Our infamous
"little people.")
3) Fully ninety-percent of "the vast wealth" of the U.S. is
controlled by less than eight percent of its people, most of whom
belong in the categories mentioned in #2 above.
But Moore's film is described as a "comedy" that pokes both fun and
fingers at a national me-too conscience that prefers to hear, see, and
speak no evil.
Like YOU, maybe?
Can't wait until the bigoted, childish and immature "followers" of
Rush and his ilk start fuming about "Sicko." There's nothing that
entertains more than seeing and hearing millions of intolerant and
selfish racists crying "foul!"

I don't believe this. It is due to the greed of specific individuals
and corporations that keep things as they are. Many of us have tried
hard top change the situation, but elected officials like the taste of
money more than truth, and they have a large base of support from some
people that are still blinding themselves to the truth.
