Just Returned From a Screening of SiCKO: America , Watch out.
Submitted by nyceve on Wed, 06/13/2007 - 10:51.
a.. One of the first shots in Michael Moore's masterpiece SiCKO, is of an
uninsured American with a large, gaping, bloody wound in his knee. He's
calmly stitching it up. The poor guy with the wound is tending to himself. A
doctor is a luxury he can't afford. But this is just how things are in the
United States, the richest country on the planet.
Life in America as you and I know it, won't be the same once the SiCKO train
leaves the station
Mark my words, all of America will be talking about SiCKO. This diary is
just the beginning. To say that it shines a spotlight on our national
catastrophe doesn't begin to describe the impact it will have. It is the
most searing filmmaking I have ever seen, eclipsing even Farenheit 9/11 in
its raw, gritty power.
The movie is opening on June 29th. If this flawless work of genius doesn't
change the course of history, then as I said to someone this afternoon, I'm
outta here, cause it will be all the proof I need, that the United States
has terminal cancer. I'll know the great experiment is on life support. What
will have killed it? In a word, greed.
I received an invitation to a screening of SiCKO. Naturally, I jumped at
the opportunity. I saw it earlier today in Los Angeles, that's the reason
this diary is being posted late in the evening.
A disclaimer: I'm a fierce Michael Moore partisan.
When Farenheit 9/11 was released, I bought the first ticket to the first
show on the first day--that's how much I wanted to see it.
Let me also say, that the forces of evil lined up against the American
people, will do everything in their power to discredit Michael and the film.
Fasten your seatbelts for an unprecedented swiftboat level smear campaign
The swiftboaters this time, will come from AHIP, PhARMA, health insurance
industry lobbyists, the corporate special interests, and many from the
political class--their guns are loaded and ready.
Michael, we have your back. We've got you covered, brother.
I predict SiCKO will mark a turning point for the United States, if it
doesn't we're doomed.
I believe this movie will become a seminal moment. A moment when the country
took a collective gasp, said enough, rose up and demanded blood from the
political class.
ENOUGH IS FUCKING ENOUGH.
Let me tell you a little about this masterpiece. Calling it powerful is an
understatement. You will physically react to the seering image of a health
insurance underwriter weeping as she describes the emotional toll of her
work for an insurance company denying the applications of desperate
Americans. Your body will shake with rage, but at the same time you will wet
your pants with the sort of hysterical, nervous laughter that only a genius
like Michael Moore, telling a horrible story can induce.
Let me also tell you a little about the part of the movie involving Cuba,
which already is being badly misrepresented. The people Michael took to Cuba
were volunteers who rushed to Ground Zero immediately after the attack of
9/11. I live in New York, I know what happened. Thousands and thousands of
ordinary Americans descended on what came to be known as "the pile". In the
days following the attack, we all hoped that people would be found alive.
So volunteers went to Ground Zero and dug for human beings without regard
for themselves. Then many/some of them became sick. Several of these heroes
of 9/11 are featured in SiCKO. These 9/11 heroes were denied healthcare by
their insurance companies. Michael brought them to Guantanemo to contrast
the healthcare being given the "evildoers" by the government of the United
States, to the lack of healthcare for the 9/11 heroes. Naturally he was
turned away, so he took them to Cuba where they received the healthcare they
were denied by our for-profit--Murder by Spreadsheet--insurance industry.
As Michael says, you can measure a society by how it treats the most
vulnerable among us, you can also measure a society by the way it treats its
heroes. The United States fails miserably on both counts.
This is what the Cuba part of SiCKO is about. Not the ***** you're
hearing from the MSM.
After you've seen SiCKO, you'll say to yourself, "hey, I've been reading
about these atrocities almost every day for three years on Daily Kos".
You'll also walk out of the theater, depressed and deeply ashamed to call
yourself a citizen of the United States.
I kept saying to myself, it's about time the entire world was invited into
our revolting back yard. It's about time the entire world saw what life in
America is really all about.
I also thought about being a citizen of another country, say Iraq, and
seeing this movie? If I was a citizen of another country and I saw SiCKO,
I'd say, "this is what these motherfuckers want to give us? This is how
democracy works?" I'd say, "Keep your fucking "democracy". No. Fucking.
Way."
Here, from the production notes is what Michael Moore has to say about our
healthcare catastrophe. There's more which I'll share in another diary.
Who deserves the blame for the health care mess: the US government, the
big drug companies or something else?
It's the system itself. For the most part, the system is based on profits
and greed. When it comes to people's health, profit should be nowhere
involved. If anyone suggested that, say, the school system should be making
a profit, they'd be looked at as if they were from Mars. Nobody would ever
say the city water department should be turning a profit-without water you
don't live. Health care should be the same way, and it is that way in other
countries.
And who we must hold responsible:
After spending over a year making SiCKO, what are the three most important
things you believe would improve the US health system?
We need to eliminate private health insurance companies-that's the biggest
single impediment to making sure everybody who needs to be taken care of
receives the help they require. The pharmaceutical companies should also be
highly regulated, like ConEd. A lot of people need medicine to survive, but
to allow pharmaceutical companies to jack up prices and make it impossible
for some people to get the drugs they need to live is criminal. Finally,
there's We the People. Health care needs to be in the hands of the people,
just like the Fire Department and the Police Department are in the hands of
the people instead of a private company like Halliburton. We all have to
become more active in caring about these things, and start thinking of
ourselves as part of a group larger than just me, myself and I.
And our presidential candidates:
Does any candidate have a solid health care plan at this point, or are
they just making vague generalizations?
Yeah, they don't seem to want to grapple with the real issue. It's very
sad. Even the well-intentioned people like John Edwards-his plan seems to be
to take our tax dollars and put them into the pockets of the private
insurance industry. That is not the solution. Obama hasn't put together his
plan yet, though I'm hoping he'll come up with something good. And then, of
course, there's always the candidate who hasn't entered the race yet, but
who won the office back in 2000. What he's been saying on this issue since
2003 is the best.
Folks, talk about airing dirty laundry in public. The United States has
finally been busted. Our depraved and murderous system has finally been
outed.
Isn't this what we're warned never to do, from the time we learn our first
words? Well SiCKO, is the finest two hours of dirty laundry airing I have
ever had the privilege to witness. A million fucking cheers for Michael
Moore!
Way to go Michael!
Now, how about joining us at YearlyKos?

That investigation is a crock of you know what. Moore
got some heroes of 9/11 medical treatment in Cuba
that they couldn't get in the US. The fact that their
insurance companies turned them down and the
government did nothing about this for them is a

Indeed. And the administration is being even more disgraceful by making
a big deal about it. Of course the additional publicity will only help
attendance. I hope Moore gets an Oscar this time.

I hear that Cuba has free medical treatment for all.
The same as all of the other civilised countries.

Odd...in every community I've lived in, should someone
with a "large, gaping bloody wound" show up at any
emergency room or clinic it would get stitched up and
they'd worry about payment afterwards - and for
a destitute patient, they'd bill him, he wouldn't pay
it and they'd write it off as a loss. It will be interesting
to see what circumstances this poor fellow was in
that led Michael Moore to find him before anyone
who could actually help him.
A disclaimer: I'm a fierce Michael Moore partisan.
Fair enough.
When Farenheit 9/11 was released, I bought the first ticket to the first
show on the first day--that's how much I wanted to see it.
Let me also say, that the forces of evil lined up against the American

The swiftboaters this time, will come from AHIP, PhARMA, health insurance

If SICKO is anything like Farenheit 9/11, this "swiftboat smear
campaign" will have a lot of ammunition available.

Gee - are you implying we actually do have national health care, but
the price is a bankruptcy for the patient and the bill goes to the

I'm pointing out that way it works across most of

Note that the original "swift boaters" brought up a thing
or two about your hero's claims of heroism that simply
could not be true - there was a bit more there than
blind squirrels happening on nuts. It wouldn't have
mattered one whit had your hero based his
campaign on what he was actually doing at the
time, and left alone what he did thirty years ago.
He repudiated his own heroism as soon as he got
home, remember?

Nope. Google (News) on "King Harbor Hospital".
Here's a couple:
http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?section=state&id=5396170
"Rodriguez had been to the emergency room on three separate occasions.
Each time she was released after being given prescriptions for pain. This
time, she lay on the floor of the emergency room for 45 minutes. A
security video shows staffers and other patients standing by as a janitor
cleaned the floor around her."
http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?section=state&id=5393001
"Last week, federal inspectors declared that patients at King-Harbor were
in 'immediate jeopardy' of harm or death and gave the hospital 23 days to
correct procedures or lose certification. It was the fourth time in less
than four years that the hospital had received the warning, according to
The Los Angeles Times."

Speaking of the state of health care in the US today...
Did you hear about the woman who died on the floor of an ER in LA (with
the custodian mopping up around her) as she was ignored by the staff and
people were calling 911 *in the ER to get help?
I really hope that is just apocryphal.
Nope. Google (News) on "King Harbor Hospital".
Here's a couple:
http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?section=state&id=5396170
"Rodriguez had been to the emergency room on three separate occasions.
Each time she was released after being given prescriptions for pain. This
time, she lay on the floor of the emergency room for 45 minutes. A
security video shows staffers and other patients standing by as a janitor
cleaned the floor around her."
http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?section=state&id=5393001
"Last week, federal inspectors declared that patients at King-Harbor were
in 'immediate jeopardy' of harm or death and gave the hospital 23 days to
correct procedures or lose certification. It was the fourth time in less
than four years that the hospital had received the warning, according to
The Los Angeles Times."
This happens once a bloody year at this charnel house??!!
They must be paying a lot to some corrupt official.

a.. One of the first shots in Michael Moore's masterpiece SiCKO, is
of an
uninsured American with a large, gaping, bloody wound in his knee.
He's calmly stitching it up. The poor guy with the wound is tending to
himself. A doctor is a luxury he can't afford. But this is just how
things are in the United States, the richest country on the planet.
