(Way off the topic of movies, but I'm sick of being quiet about this.)

Proverbs 14:31 “He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.”

What is wrong with you America? You propose to be a Christian country, but you care nothing about the poor who can't afford insurance. I believe if Jesus actually came back, you wouldn't listen to what he had to say, and would instead protest his ideas as being "liberal". You people are all about saving the "unborn" but once they're actually in the world, its screw them, everyone for themselves. How many uninsured children's lives could be saved with this plan?

I can't even begin to understand your train of thought. How does Obama's proposing another option for those who can't afford insurance really affect you? It's not socialized medicine, it's simply another option. America is not going to turn communist because our President wants to help the poor... is that what you really believe? Dig deep and really think about it. Are you simply opposed because he's a "liberal" president?

Psalm 140:12 “I know that the LORD secures justice for the poor and upholds the cause of the needy.”

If you want your insurance keep it and shut the hell up. Let those that can't afford it have a shot at theirs. Quit living in the dark ages and let the country move forward. This is what the country needs.

Stop believing everything that Fox News tells you. You don't think they have money to make off all of this? They're just another corporation, that wants to keep you scared, therefore under their control, and easier to manipulate. You're buying right into their thinking and keeping medicine in the insurance companies (i.e. corporations) control and much more expensive than it needs to be. They profit off our ignorance. How is it Christian to fight for corporations?

Where were you when the Government was giving away trillions to bail out the corporations that caused Amercia's economic collapse? I hardly heard a peep, while our taxes were going away to the rich thieves that laughed at our stupidity. But now that Obama wants to spend less than a 10th of that to support our citizens, there's an uproar. Why is it okay to bail out those that knowingly wronged the economic system, but we punish those that dare to be poor and sick in this country?

Another thing, what's with all hypocritical arguments from Republicans... one minute they're talking about how health care will be run like the DMV, and there will be longs lines and endless bureaucracy. Then the next minute they're talking about how the the private insurers won't be able to compete with the Gov run health care and everyone will move to the Gov. version. Which one is it? It can't be both.

If this is truly a free market system, than private health care, should be able to withstand the Gov version by becoming worth the money, offering better service at lower prices. I don't want there to be only one option, I want the to be more and better options. What the hell could possibly be wrong with that?

My family pays over $400 a month for insurance, we're all healthy, none of us have had more than the flu in the last 5 years. God forbid one of us actually gets really sick, I'd hate to see how much it costs us then. I'm thinking about the families that can't afford the $400 (or more) a month and how much it costs them when they do get sick. If we all stopped paying our insurance bills and instead paid a bit more in taxes, do you really think it would cost $400 a month in taxes? There's simply no way. Imagine how much we could save with a Government run option? And not have the fear that our financial lives will be destroyed if one of us has the audacity to go and get sick.

I'm sure you'll simply ignore this post as a liberal rant, but truly think about what you're fighting. You only look at the smallest of details, then find things wrong with the plan, that aren't truly there. Think about your friends, family and neighbors who can't afford good health care. Do you really want to screw them over just because you're scared of change? That's all this is, change... America is not going to turn into France because we want to insure our poor.

WAKE UP and find the truth!

Deuteronomy 15:7 “If there is a poor man among your brothers in any of the towns of the land that the LORD your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward your poor brother.”

This is a film I believe every American should see. While a lot of folks don't agree with Michael Moore's politics, I think that most everybody can agree that our health care system is in serious trouble.

While 50 million Americans go without health insurance, because it has become so unaffordable, I think it was wonderful that he focuses his attention on those that do have it. We see how callous the insurance companies are, that they have little to no interest in actually taking care of their customers, are simply focused on the bottom line, no matter how many people suffer and die because of their treatment. It's disgusting how they refuse treatment to their own customers, because their illnesses are too expensive; how they employ detectives to hunt down the slightest infringement so they can do so. There's a woman who's coverage is denied because she had a yeast infection... are they serious?! This is legal?

I think that Moore overstates the wonderfulness of the universal health care that other countries receive. But I believe that they are much closer to a real solution then America is. It really shows something, that we are the only country in Western Civilization that doesn't have some kind of universal health care. We're not going to turn into a communist country, just because we have social medicine!

I myself have no health insurance, because I haven't been injured or seriously sick for my entire life, and can't really afford the extra $300 or more a month, for a "just in case". But it's also something that terrifies me, because if I was to get injured or sick, I know it could ruin my family's life. After seeing this film, I plan on looking into getting some, because I'd hate to come up with some preexisting condition, that excuses my insurance company from paying for any treatment. I think it's an absolutely ridiculous situation, that if I was born with some kind of disease, that I would never get an insurance company to get to pay for those bills. What's the point?

It's also a scary thought, that when I get older and if I get cancer or some other serious disease, that even with insurance the bills will be so expensive that it could destroy everything that I worked my entire life towards. That was one of the most heartbreaking scenes in Sicko, when the older couple is forced to move in with their daughter because their medical bills have bankrupt them, here's a couple that has worked their entire lives, done their part of the "American Life" and they get it all taken away because they had the misfortune of getting sick. That terrifies me.

Something needs to change. No citizen of the richest country in the world, should go without medical care. More people are homeless because of medical bills than any other reason, so don't go thinking that they're being a bunch of "free-loaders", there would be a lot less of them if the health care system hadn't put them there. And Those of us that aren't millionaires shouldn't live in terror of our medical bills.

Sadly, I don't think anything will ever happen. The political system is far too corrupt. Thanks to political contributions, our politicians serve the corporations, not the American citizen. They will never change a system that turns over billions in profit.

Really, I'm just waiting out the days until the entire system collapses. Our future has been mortgaged away from us and future generations. Something, everything, needs to change drastically and in the immediate future or the U.S.A. won't be on top for much longer. And I just don't see that happening. The rich are all too happy to take and take, while the rest of the world suffers.

(Sorry to go off on a rant like this in an entertainment based blog, but once I get started it's hard to stop.)
