Well, the porcine provocateur has taken his snout out of the trough long enough to hold forth on the subject of health care again. In this clip he advises us that it’s patriotic to languish on a waiting list: The reason why you have to wait sometimes in those countries is they let everybody in the line [...]
Like a lot of cocktail-party progressives, the porcine provocateur is increasingly frustrated that the Dems can’t get Obamacare done, even with control of Congress and the White House. In this interview with Joy(less) Behar, he makes the following prediction: They are in for an ass whoopin of biblical proportions … If they don’t turn this [...]
Just when you thought the health reform debate could not possibly become more absurd, Michael Moore appears to prove you wrong. The porcine provocateur is unhappy with Joe Lieberman’s scuttling of the public option, so he used twitter to threaten a boycott of Connecticut if its citizens do not recall the Senator: The stupidity of Moore’s [...]
Commenter David All advises me that Michael Moore, no doubt extremely bitter about his recent failure to capture an Oscar for the ridiculous SiCKO, is encouraging Pennsylvania Democrats to vote for Barack Obama: If you live in Pennsylvania, can you do me a favor? Will you please cast my vote — and yours — on Tuesday for Senator [...]
Michael Moore’s ridiculous SiCKO was apparently not anti-American enough for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The political fashion plates at AMPAS let the porcine provocateur languish on the waiting list while awarding the best documentary Oscar to Taxi to the Dark Side: [Moore's] health-care study “Sicko” lost the documentary prize to “Taxi to the Dark Side,” a war-on-terror chronicle that [...]

The two are irrevocably tied together. That sad reality has been largely ignored in the hysteria surrounding the Nataline Sarkisyan case. Because there aren’t enough organs to go around, every patient receiving one has several counterparts who won’t. And these counterparts will die. Remember, back in Econ 101, when the professor droned on and on about “opportunity [...]
If you are one of those people who still don’t get that governments do a poor job of allocating health care resources, this article from the Evening Standard ought to knock the scales off your eyes: Women are being given controversial “virginity repair” operations on the NHS, it emerged last night … Taxpayers funded 24 [...]

It looks like ABC is the only representative of the establishment media with the testÃculos to expose Michael Moore as a fraud and to tell the truth about Cuban health care. In a 20/20 segment, John Stossel debunks the absurd claims made by the porcine provocateur about Castrocare. For example, on Moore’s claim that the CIA verifies his [...]
Among Michael Moore’s many contemptible characteristics is his willingness to capitalize on the misery of ordinary people. His disgraceful exploitation of Lila Limbscomb in Fahrenheit 9-11 is probably the most egregious example, but his shameless use of three 9-11 responders in SiCKO was nearly as bad. The one redeeming feature of Moore’s Cuban odyssey was [...]
Michael Moore isn’t the only filmmaker interested in health care. Stuart Browning, as FrontPageMagazine points out, provides a “much-needed corrective.� Particularly compelling are the films on Canada’s health care system. Posted on Browning’s website, they provide a powerful counterpoint to the reverential treatment that the Canadian system receives in Moore’s movie. But Browning is no mere grumbler [...]
