Why, that filthy Commie!!!TIME: You also speak rhapsodically about the French and Cuban systems and travel to Cuba, where you interview Che Guevara’s daughter. France, Cuba, Che. Are you going out of your way to annoy the right?
Michael Moore: I give people more credit than the media and the political machine running this country do. The story line is: France, bad; France, cowards. What crime did France commit? We wouldn’t have had this country without their support in the Revolution. They gave us that statue that sits out in New York Harbor. They responded immediately after 9/11. And they remain eternally grateful for what we did during World War II. As for Cuba, yes, when I’ve got a film crew there, they’re going to show us their best. But there’s a reason the World Health Organization ranks their health-care system [among] the best in the Third World and that people from Latin America come there for their health care. There’s also a reason Cubans live on average a month longer than we do.
I’m not trumpeting Castro or his regime. I just want to say to fellow Americans, “C’mon, we’re the United States! If they can do this, we can do it.”

We can always turn over the entire healthcare apparatus of this country to government management. That is what Cuba has. It should work here, right?
right?

well, let's see:
YES! THAT'S RIGHT... !
social security runs like clockwork, despite corporate scare tactics about it running out of money sooner than later, which is dispensed purely in hopes of getting their hands on it...
i believe more everyday the private sector (insurance & phrama industries) not being involved will GREATLY facilitate a national healthcare program's viability...
the world health organization says france, canada & cuba have the best healthcare systems in the world -- all gov't run...
single-payer, baby... !
screw wall street... !!
