Oct 15, 2008 - "View our president's like gods"?!umm..Dumbass. The immigration issue is of critical concern in a Universal Healthcare Plan; this is in no way comparable to Canada. We have as many illegal immigrants here as many European nations have citizens. No one is addressing this. The other disturbing element of H.R.676 is sec.104 "private sector cannot duplicate coverage". This not only gives government control of basic healthcare, but gives them a monopoly. More later...if you're good.

Oct 15, 2008 - I agree with ml062007. Until Americans start holding their Federal Gov't more accountable...you are just wasting your money. It works well in Canada because we have such a smaller Gov't and population. We also hold our Gov't more accountable for it's actions I find. I sense there is a feeling of great hopelessness in American these days when it comes to their Gov't. It's all about priorities. The U.S. Gov't's priority is on it's military whereas in Canada its on healthcare, jobs, & education.

Oct 27, 2008 - Its Iraq...not Irak and Country not Countrey. Did you go to a U.S. school too.... reed boooks...miiight heelpp.

semitar6 Says:

Oct 27, 2008 - So instead of the the gov. having a healthcare monopoly we give it to a few corporations that wield more power here then elements of our elected government. Our healthcare system is a insult to the American People.

Peder024a Says:

Oct 27, 2008 - I guess being free is better than having cheap junkfood and cheap clothes made in swaeatshops in Asia. But then again, who am I to judge? And i'd better shut up because i dont really like using the language of the empire :P

Oct 28, 2008 - The only reason insurance exists is so the rich get richer and profit off the poor, including politicians. THIS NEEDS TO STOP! Who are CEO's to play god and determine who lives and who doesn't. This country is better than that. Our generation, (20 - 30 yr olds) need to stand up against all this bullshit and redeem ourselves for being put to an unnecessary war. It's time we rose our voices and started scaring our government into giving us what we deserve as being great americans.

Oct 29, 2008 - Once again....learn to spell.. spellcheck...spellcheck..spellcheck...

Nov 2, 2008 - until Mr Moore drops everything, and immediately enrolls in medical school; and devotes HIS entire life to curing cancer, he is just another liar, another hypocrit with $50 Million in the bank, telling me I need to give more. When it comes to "copyright" he sure seems to be quite the little profiteer, he does not want someone else to profit from HIS labor, but when its someones else career,well different story then. who was it that said 'Physician heal thyself' ?

Nov 2, 2008 - "We are in a defining moment in our history" Obama reminds me of 'Gandi' they both studied Law. Gandi couldn't have won over the negativity without this knowledge; that's why I truly believe 'Obama' is the right choice for President. The most important truth is: We can't have a repeat of 'Bush' ways of thinking in office for another 7 years. Peace & Justice... The new President will not take office until January. WE NEED CHANGE... "TRUST THROUGH FRIENDSHIP.PEACE THROUGH TRUST

Nov 3, 2008 - I agree... The basis of this movie contradicts itself... this is america capitalism is king... a united health care system would be socialist(anti-american). If a few people must die then so be it. they should have worked harder. survival of the fittest. he is wasting his time. this is nowhere on anyones political agenda because it will NEVER happen

decker187 Says:

Nov 4, 2008 - Pinheadness, er, pineduness, when you open your mouth the vaccuum of stupidity is filled with even more stupidity. My sister worked very hard before she was diagnosed with MS. She never asked for it, doesn't deserve it, yet struggles to pay for her condition every month. As for not being on anyone's political agenda? Uh, are you living in a cave? Obama, who looks to become our next president, is proposing this very thing. Btw, it's called single-payer healthcare, not united health care.

pineduness Says:

Nov 4, 2008 - A socialist coward would talk shit on youtube. your sister should have budgeted her finances better and she wouldnt have to worry. You are wasting time talking about "single payer" health care. IT WONT HAPPEN. CAPITALISM IS KING. It creates compition, airgo better medicine. Go to euro and get free health care you fucking commie

funkyflights Says:

Nov 4, 2008 - I hear ya bro.... this whole health care debacle in this country has got to come to a head... Tell your sister the time is coming ... tell your sister people care... tell your sis Obama will make the change... lets do this people... enough is enough ....

Textynn Says:

Nov 7, 2008 - UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE for Americans now. Demand it.

funkyflights Says:

Nov 10, 2008 - Amen brotha!! lets come together on this and make it happen ... enough of these bastard insurance companies killing people ...

TimLoganKnows911623 Says:

Nov 13, 2008 - One payer system is the only way to go. Private health insurance is a private tyranny that only exists in United States. It's a rather barbaric system that tells you you're health is only worth what you can afford. People in United States should get behind, and support, HR 676. If you don't know what it is learn about it! GM & Ford are going bankrupt because of the rising cost of health care. If United States had single-payer system, the companies wouldn't have to worry about it.

Nov 14, 2008 - Yes! Agree 100%

Nov 21, 2008 - You're talking bullshit & you give me the impression you are an idiot.

oTHEDUBMANo Says:

Nov 21, 2008 - You are a fucking heartless piece of shit if you really believe in what you stated here.

oTHEDUBMANo Says:

Nov 21, 2008 - Only in the USA. What a fucked up country. It's hard to believe it has to take a filmmaker like M.Moore to bring the most obvious common sense to the government. So you've lived a proper respectable life but now you're sick & needy? Well fuck you, what about me? I love my country, & my fake capitalist democracy!! Wake up people, you're all living under a grand illusion!

yocanbanconit Says:

Nov 22, 2008 - Does Michael Moore rise to the level of Sinclair Lewis, or does he have further to go?

LokiScoutSniper Says:

Nov 22, 2008 - Taxpayer funded health care not free health care. That makes sense but it makes more sense if someday we don't need taxpayer health care and all Americans can afford their own health care. A means to an end is all government can do for health care but like welfare has it helped or kept enslaved to the constant ideal of welfare. America is the yellow brick road of not socialism but self reliance. Last time I checked we went to the moon and Canada or Britain didn't. Capitalism works period.
