With the recent with the alleged shooting death of that Healthcare CEO in the USA by Luigi Mangione, Film maker Michael Moore has decided to release his 2007 Oscar-nominated film SICKO.

Sicko is a 2007 American political documentary film by filmmaker Michael Moore. Investigating health care in the United States, the film focuses on the country's health insurance and the pharmaceutical industry. Moore compares the for-profit non-universal U.S. system with the non-profit universal health care systems of Canada, the United Kingdom, France and Cuba.

        That's an overly simple take. The vested interests corrupting policy makers and news cycles have a massive role in preventing any decent health care system. And even if a majority of voters in the dumb non-compulsary voting system vote against it (ie for republicans), it still discriminates against those who need but can't afford basic health care.

                        You literally said "If you don’t own both houses then you get nothing." The Democrats had both house and got their ACA passed. I'm waiting for you to explain how you think a filibuster affected this outcome? A filibuster is only an attempt to delay an outcome, it doesn't change it. And ACA got passed so any attempted filibuster obviously failed.

                        They were filibustered by the GOP.

                        Yes you said that already, now try and explain how you think this affected the outcome.

                        you sure don't know a lot about how the country actually works

                        Well just repeating the word filibuster over and over as if it's a new word you just learned is not how things work. I know that much.

                          • Conservatives filibustered Ovama's healthcare solution.
                          • The vote needed to break the filibuster was gained from a conservative independent, who rejected the solution, instead demanding the ACA, being an insurance based bill, rather than a universal care one.

                            Conservatives filibustered

                            There you go using that word again. I think maybe you should google that word because it doesn't seem to mean what you think it means.
                            A filibuster is a delaying technique, the Bill still passed hence why it is now an Act. But let Google explain this to you:

                            'The Affordable Care Act (ACA) faced significant opposition, but it wasn't subjected to a traditional filibuster. Instead, the Senate used a process called budget reconciliation to pass the final version of the bill, which cannot be filibustered'

                            That sound you just heard was your lame argument being burned to the ground…

                            a conservative independent,

                            A simple google would tell you that there were only two independents at that time, Bernie Sanders, the most left wing senator in US politics or Joe Lieberman who was the former Democrat VP nominee. Which one of those is your 'conservative' bogeyman?

                            This is comedy hour…

                            being an insurance based bill, rather than a universal care one.

                            So Democrats wrote the bill and unanimously passed the bill, 100% Democrats,but in clown world this is the Republican's fault?
                            GOP bad, orange man bad etc… time to get out of the echo chamber…

        going to a socialist country to look at their socialist medicine is one of the more intelligent parts of this doco.

          No, all socialist things must automatically be dismissed as bad without any investigation. We have the best things - they told us so.

            @BlueJay87: Is Cuba's communism authoritarianism brutal? I believe so.

            But not as brutal as "No I will not honor our agreement, I already have your money, go and fkn die" or "We dislike your country's politics so much we will strongarm the entire world to ensure your population starves."

            @BlueJay87: When your country has been sanctioned for literally everything under the sun, what do you do?
            Going into the country that sanctioned your livelihood is the only way.

        If someone goes to Cuba to make a documentary about cigars, is that a trash documentary?

            @BlueJay87: Saying that their health system is automatically bad because they have a brutalist regime is like saying their cigars are bad for the same reason though. A country is made up of many parts, they don't all have to be bad or good.

            • BlueJay87 on 18/12/2024 - 09:55

              @noisymime: Its literally a crime to criticize the goverment in Cuba. Going over there with a camera is not going to get you an honest appraisal of the system. Moore was there on a propoganda trip to whitewash the brutal Cuban system. Functionally equivalent to Tucker's trips to Russia. He's not a serious journalist.

                  Worked ok for Joe Biden and Donald Trump. In fact most of the media and entertainment industries have very profitable careers doing exactly that
                  Do you read what you write before you hit send? Because this is the opposite of what we see with out own eyes every day.

                @BlueJay87: He wasn't there to talk about Cuba's cred as a democracy, he was there to show that a literal communist dictatorship provided better healthcare to its citizens than the US did. It's inherently saying Cuba is a shit place to live by using it as such a point of comparison.

              But in Cuba they are all bad. I've been there and seen it for myself. It was like going in a time machine to the 1950's with the worst of everything.
