They Said They Would Push Me "Off a Cliff" by Michael Moore

Yoiks!

more at link.

:D

It's a very interesting interview. I thought people here would like it. There's video of the Democracy Now interview on MM's website: http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/mike-in-the-news/push-michael-moore-off-cliff

Lots of wonky insider stuff and a bit of cloak and dagger to boot!

:puke:

at this point, I don't know why health insurance cos aren't considered criminal enterprises.

Or livelihood, as is probably more likely. Hell Raindog, even the *outright* criminal enterprises don't get punished. Everyone is sunk up to their necks in chasing profits. Honor among thieves and all of that.

at least it feels like it.

surely it's time for the pendulum to swing back to something better.

honestly, I don't know how much more people can take.

I don't think things are going to get better for quite awhile.

no, not for THAT issue... that issue is about civil rights and people's well being.

the executive order that allows tax payer money to go to fund religious organizations that are allowed to discriminate against people who are concerned with THAT issue - the civil rights one.

tax payer money going to fund religious education... so, now we have to contend with proselytizing on the tax payer's dime - proselytizing that some humans are less than human - oh, but that doesn't mean evolution because evolution is, of course, a lie and the earth is 6000 years old and it's possible to cure people of heterosexuality, too.

my head wants to explode.

and haven't!

Thanks to Wendall Potter - First saw the 'whistle-blowing" soft-spoken Mr. Potter well over a year ago on Ed Schultz Show on MSNBC.

Thank you Michael Moore!

The very same people who will criticize the excellent film "Sicko" will be the very same sheep who haven't seen the film and were told not to see Michael Moore's film....

Yet these same people keep giving their money to the extremely wealthy insurers, insurers who receive billions of our tax dollars for their own profit......unbelievably, these same Michael Moore blinded Fox news sheep keep giving their money to the same extremely wealthy insurers who also receive billions of our tax dollars (corporate welfare) for their profits.

Did you get that? The same extremely wealthy corporate insurers also receive billions of our tax dollars for their own corporate profits.

Because sick people cost the insurance corporations profits., so does potentially sick people, even the healthy who become sick, it's far more profitable ("billion and billions of dollars") to just find way to dump the sick - and there are many, many ways that the insurance corporations do this everyday.....

Watch the great film "SICKO" though so many were told & instructed not to see the film, and complied like good little sheep, but they should rent (DVD) and see it on their own....and for a change instead of simply protecting the greedy manipulating self-serving insurance corporations as Fox news, the corporations & republicans told them to.

There are over 59 million (at last count) people, many of whom are hard working tax paying people who don't have health insurance simply because they just can't afford it.....As well as the tens of millions more who are under insured - Who pay the insurance corporations outrageous premiums in exchange for very little coverage in return by the same insurance corporations.

The worst of it all is that our tax dollars (hundreds of billions in subsidies) goes to insurance companies, directly to the insurance companies executives, CEO, for their private jets, yachts, mansions while still raking in tens of millions of dollars in bonuses from their over-priced health care premiums & from our tax dollars....while over 100 million uninsured & under-insured go without any or very little health care coverage.

It's truly shameless that this is allowed in our great country and to our own people!!

I did see the film (in the theater) and I'm among the under insured. These companies are like corporate fiefdoms now. They act like rogue nation-states.


I'm looking forward to the revelations in MM's next article on the felonies committed to suppress attendance of the film.
