On one hand, I applaud his extremely altruistic attempt to get some needed treatment for folks who are being screwed by the rotten health care system. Likewise, I have friends back east who badly need treatment and if they could get to Cuba, might get the treatment to save their lives that the evil HMOs are denying.

On the other hand, this looks too much like a publicity stunt for a film, that if in the same style as "Bowling" and "Roger", will be very limited in bringing about a solution.

You have to admit, the boy has a flair for the dramatic! :)

You betcha. Not only drama, think of the "HUGE SET of balls" it takes to go after the Evil Empire.

I think it's a shame that even the illegal immigrants coming here had socialized healthcare back in their countries and we don't.

Michael Moore continues to inspire me because he talks truth to power the way few do. Check out his letter to CNN:

An Open Letter to CNN from Michael Moore


Dear CNN,

Well, the week is over -- and still no apology, no retraction, no correction of your glaring mistakes.

I bet you thought my dust-up with Wolf Blitzer was just a cool ratings coup, that you really wouldn't have to correct the false statements you made about "Sicko." I bet you thought I was just going to go quietly away.

Think again. I'm about to become your worst nightmare. 'Cause I ain't ever going away. Not until you set the record straight, and apologize to your viewers. "The Most Trusted Name in News?" I think it's safe to say you can retire that slogan.

You have an occasional segment called "Keeping Them Honest." But who keeps you honest? After what the public saw with your report on "Sicko," and how many inaccuracies that report contained, how can anyone believe anything you say on your network? In the old days, before the Internet, you could get away with it. Your victims had no way to set the record straight, to show the viewers how you had misrepresented the truth. But now, we can post the truth -- and back it up with evidence and facts -- on the web, for all to see. And boy, judging from the mail both you and I have been receiving, the evidence I have posted on my site about your "Sicko" piece has led millions now to question your honesty.
