Jon Stewart interviewed Michael Moore last night to discuss Paris Hilton. What else would they talk about? Insurance companies have made us believe that the problems we face today are really caused by the government, rather than a market which intervenes on every level to deny people their basic rights. Our capitalist system creates an anti-social society which discourages the altruistic nature of our species. Instead, we encourage greed. Keeping medical care from those who need it the most should not be something which is rewarded.

So what can we do? Michael Moore suggests we tell our representatives to support HR 676, a bill written by Dennis Kucinich and John Conyers. Kucinich is the only Democratic candidate whose Universal Healthcare Plan doesn’t include a roll for Health Insurance Companies to turn a profit. These companies currently take over 30% of the cost for healthcare in America without providing Healthcare Services to US citizens.

    Do No Harm
    “Sicko” and “Evening.”
    by David Denby July 2, 2007

    Michael Moore has teased a

    nd bullied his way to some brilliant highs in his career as a political entertainer, but he scrapes bottom in his new documentary, “Sicko.” The movie is an attack on the American health-care system, and it starts out strongly, with Moore interviewing families who have been betrayed or neglected by H.M.O.s and insurance companies.

    Hi Bon, well, I wouldn’t call it a “good” review, but as I’ve mentioned many times before I am a Socialist and have no problem with health care for all of the population.

    My review “Stop everything, watch this film, buy the DVD, share with your family-Review of Sicko” is in the “see” section below the video.
