That bloviating bag of blubber Michael Moore has once more put out a film full of gross inaccuracies, this time about health care. The biased mainstream media, as usual, has fallen all over itself in praising it, following closely on the heels of the utterly predictable award for the film at Cannes. One knows the french never pass up an opportunity to praise anything that attacks the United States. The french have little else, since they are merely passe now, their culture and their position in the world meaningless.
Moore's rant proposes that America adopt the Canadian or , heavens, the Cuban health systems as models! One would have to agree, if one favored waiting lists of a minimum of 8 weeks for any surgical procedure. Elective surgery waits can take as long as three or more years. Many towns in Britain have no dentist. Anyone who can has private health insurance. Doctors are refusing to join the NHS in increasing numbers, preferring private practice. Hospitals are closing in greater numbers.In Cuba, there is no oversight of the system and doctors use untested drugs as well as theories to "treat" patients. Of course, we all know how wonderful life in Cuba is. Just ask the hundreds who risk their lives floating on cardboard to get out.
