Moore is far from fair and balanced.

What is sick is promoting a plan where the government controls health care. That's sick.

Get ready for an invasion of privacy never before dreamed.

I think everyone has gone nuts. I for one want to maintain my freedom from government intrusion concerning my health and lifestyle, which is why I will always vote for private doctors and private insurance.

I agree with you KOKO. I personally can't stand Michael Moore. I think he is a big, fat, jerk, but I think it's important for those "with" to see what it is like for those of us "without". My husband has a job with a small company that would have to take a huge chunk out of my hubby's paycheck in order to get group insurance. They instead give a med-flex account of a certain amount and we can use it as necessary. We would love to be able to get private health insurance, but because of certain preexisting problems we can't. It's not right.(and we aren't talking MAJOR problems either)

As far as Grandilly's fears, there are MANY other countries who have government funded insurance and the citizens privacy is STILL protected. Just because someone else is paying for it, doesn't automatically give them the right to keep track of you. If that were the case then every company that provides health insurance for it's employees would have that right which is NOT the case.
Of course, considering how Mr. Bush has desecrated our Constitutional rights thus far, I wouldn't put ANYTHING past him.

The government has funded medical for years, along with food, dental, vision, and spending money for people with low income. The problem does not reside in the check income either. The problem exists in the price increase in our economy. A "tidal wave", if you will, that sets off a chain reaction.

An increase in realty has shown that. A realtor would like more money for a home they sell, and bob (the home owner) could use a couple extra bucks along with making the money back after what he puts into the home over several years thus, increases the home cost and decreases our paycheck worth. When will it end? where is the cap?

Taco bandit, I have a question for you. Do you have any idea what the income limit is for a family of 3 to get insurance for the ADULTS in the family? It's $600 a month, give or take! Yes, the government gives insurance to lower income families for the children, but what happens if the parents get sick? TOO BAD is what the government says.
So unless you decide to figure out a way of NOT working so that the government will pay for your healthcare, your screwed!

Hey Taco!
I see why you have the "riddler" as your picture! You are a funny guy:)
