I have to disagree with Moore on one point: "Sicko" is not "just a movie." It really should have been the "tipping point" that caused Americans to "rise up," like the insurance companies feared. It is to Americans' discredit that they did not.

The video does not play after the sponsor message. I tried in IE 8 and Firefox 3.5.3 with the latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer 10.

"How many other countries in the world would allow..."

Allow? ALLOW? Oh no -- are we that far gone?

Moore said that if work for him, you would be paid as an intern, you would have medical insurance with no deductible, paid pregnancy leave, as many sick days as you leave, as many personal days, etc. So apparently Moore will pay for this, which assumes two things: (1) that the business is producing lots of revenue, enough to support this, and (2) that Moore is a good, generous man who cares more about taking care of people than he does about money. Why do you have to abandon capitalism in order to have these results? Isn't the problem the absence of virtue, more than the system?

Granted, I have not analyzed Moore or his body of work, but if I may be so bold, it appears that he is using capitalism to attack capitalism. Moreover, this is not a good time while we are trying to rein in the FED.

Mr Moore is wrong about europe. I'm from Amsterdam Holland and I know that all newspapers here are controled by big corperations! Some names are Reuters ,TMG Thomson corp., also the tv here is total nwo propaganda. Some names are ProSiebenSat.MediaAG, PermiraKKR, Mecom. The real deal is the internet as long it's not controled by ...... ????

M Mr Moore is a great American.but he is just one man,he cannot be expected to work out solutions for the many abuses he highlights, that is for those who are suitably qualified to do. Why can it be so wrong to bring into the light of day injustice, what are people afraid of?

Michael Moore is an easy target for you cowards who dare not take on the big executives of whatever ilk. Here in England we watch in awe and would love him to take on our greedy execs and politicians and Religious nuts. The greedy execs drain the countries dry and take their ill gotten gains abroad to avoid tax. How come only the poor pay tax? Keep up the good work Michael. It's a wonder some greedy exec hasn't had him shot or blown up, to protect their riches!

Michael Moore--keep on keepin' on. Even when you say provocative statements, we can always put the time in that you do and check it out for ourselves if we disagree. There are always those who try to make a joke of the messenger when they don't want to do their own research...THANKS

rpetty:

Michael Moore may be on the left, but until we Americans realize our own hateful sins, and what we have done that has been purely hypocritical to our "values" of who we are supposed to be as a nation, then we will never learn how to be a great world leader. We should feel ashamed of how we have neglected our own American values for the sake of greed. We talk about other countries, and many of the smart Americans, understand the faults of this country; which will allow us to deal with them more intelligently. Unlike some Americans who would rather hide their heads in the sand. I am one who admit our hypocrisy here, which places me and others who are courageous enough to admit our faults, in a better position to make this country better and actually meet our core values. Are you brave enough to do that as well, or just hide behind criticism of Michael Moore...in this 21st century, the one's who are busy criticizing those on the left, will just simply not make it in this new global society.
