    In the United States, we have a whopping 1.4 million people employed with the job of DENYING HEALTH CARE, vs only 1 million doctors in the entire country! That’s all you need to know about America.

    Epic Michael Moore.

    And professional people asking him if he condones murder… I guess the iq in that country is at the lowest point ever.

    These insurance corporations and their executives have more blood on their hands than a thousand 9/11 terrorists. And that’s why they are scrubbing their executives’ profiles from their websites and putting up fences around their headquarters. Because they know what they have done. You can’t be the CEO of a company where you knowingly deny care to people — often leading to their deaths — and not have people mad at you, people hate you, people who have no pity for you because you have no pity for them.

    Nailed it.

    I have seen people talk shit about Michael Moore many times but some of his documentaries are cultural touch points. Sicko was one of them. I’m willing to bet that millions of people who watched it had no idea how bad things were prior to seeing it.

    And before someone says something about how “but it didn’t make anyone angry enough to change the system!”

    Yeah well nothing else did either. Popular awareness is always the first step. And even if it takes decades for things to start changing, it’s still a step worth taking
