MICHAEL MOORE: EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO HEALTHCARE

Michael Moore is sick about Americans not receiving proper healthcare.

Michael Moore is sick of healthcare in America so he visited other countries who practice universal healthcare in his latest documentary Sicko.

Moore took several people who were denied healthcare for one reason or another including 9/11 rescue workers to get the treatment they needed, and discovered France may be onto something, even lifting his ban on freedom fries.

“I think the health insurance industry and pharmaceuticals have done a very good job of scaring people about so-called socialized medicine. They don’t really sit it that way in these other countries that have it, Canada, Ireland, Britain, France. They just see it as a human right, just as we do say public education. We decided a long time ago it is a human right that every child get an education through 12th grade and we’ll pay for it. And no one’s questioned that since.”

Michael Moore shows a utopia of healthcare where there is no wait time in emergency rooms and doctors are only too happy to cure the sick.

“Well that’s the way they feel about healthcare in these countries. It is a human right if you get sick, you have a right to see a doctor and not worry about having to pay for that doctor. That’s just basic but that would put essentially the health insurance companies out of business and it would severely regulate the pharmaceutical companies. That’s the last thing those two groups want so they’re going to do everything they can to fight it. One of the ways they fight it is by scaring people, ‘oh this is socialized medicine.’”

Not only is Moore fighting the healthcare system, he is at war with the government who accused him of illegally going to Cuba. Moore is refusing to name names of the people he took there and insists the law was never broken as the film is the work of journalism. He has safeguarded the negative of the film so it can’t be confiscated. Sicko opens Friday in theaters.
