Moore shows clips of film on health care

[deadparrot]

TORONTO - First, General Motors. Then gun control, followed by George W. Bush. Now rabble-rousing filmmaker Michael Moore has turned his irreverent camera on health care in America.

"Sicko," Moore's dissection of the health care system, promises to be another hilarious documentary romp, based on excerpts he showed Friday night at the Toronto International Film Festival.

During a two-hour appearance, Moore discussed his career as a counterculture journalist, provocative filmmaker and liberal standard-bearer, and he played three clips from "Sicko," which he said would be in theaters next June.

The segments presented stories of personal health care nightmares, including that of a woman denied payment for an ambulance ride after a head-on collision because it was not preapproved.

Excuse me, but what do any of these films have to do with reverence? Especially the one about Bush*....

4. Looking forward to it.

As an American without healthcare insurance, I'm hoping that it stirs up some debate.

5. And as an American *with* health insurance,

that costs me $1100/mo., I'm equally hopeful this film will draw attention to the dismal condition of our health care system.

One can hope anyway.
