Mitt’s plan makes Moore ‘Sicko’: Big-mouth director knocks Mass. health plan
From the Boston Herald

Bomb-throwing filmmaker Michael Moore, pushing his controversial new health-care film “Sicko,” took aim at the Bay State’s universal health care program and the man who pushed to make it the law - former Massachusetts Gov. and GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney.

“I don’t like it at all,” Moore told the Herald in an interview yesterday. “Human beings are not automobiles. It sets up an insurance program that requires you to go get insurance. What if you can’t afford it? And who’s going to regulate the insurance companies?”

“That is not universal health care,” Moore said.

Moore spoke highly of Romney’s late father, George Romney, the former governor of Moore’s native Michigan.

The elder Romney’s 1968 GOP presidential campaign was derailed by his remark that he was subjected to “brainwashing” by U.S. government officials in Vietnam - drawing ridicule and criticism - and his subsequent opposition to the war. Moore said, “He spoke some very powerful truths and it cost him the election when he ran for president in 1968.”
