But I do believe the numbers, which come from places like the World Health Organization etc. And I also believe what I see, which is that our health care system IS NOT WORKING. No one had to convince me of that. <BR/><BR/>As for the Medicare for All, the reason Medicare doesn't work now is because it is sharing the market with privatized insurance. If every person in the country was covered under a single-pay system, it would work (as it does in Canada and France etc.) because the profit would not be part of the picture.katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592401463121063648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494663141817723073.post-58393517133064172152007-11-19T20:11:00.000-08:002007-11-19T20:11:00.000-08:00Non-profit Medicare for all?

I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy! Our healthcare system definetly needs some work - but what part of our government doesn't? <BR/><BR/>I swear to Gob, Kate - I'm a Democrat - always have been - but I wouldn't take Michael Moore's word as gospel on the issues he stands for any more than I'd take Kermit the Frog's. You don't believe he exaggerates? I thought YOU were the one who sees BOTH sides of an issue! Is there really that much of a difference between a Democrat and a Liberal? <BR/><BR/>LOVE YA!Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00100400622483378937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494663141817723073.post-21529188365100889622007-11-19T14:40:00.000-08:002007-11-19T14:40:00.000-08:00Zundian,You are absolutely right...it's six months...Zundian,<BR/>You are absolutely right...it's six months paid, up to a year. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for the correction!katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592401463121063648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494663141817723073.post-32258075032873493652007-11-19T14:12:00.000-08:002007-11-19T14:12:00.000-08:00I think you misheard.

That's...I really don't believe that he exaggerates. That's what our government wants us to believe because what he points out is so outrageous. Is he inflammatory? Hell yes. But he knows his critics are going to say he's lying and and he can (and does) verify everything. CNN had done a story saying that he exaggerated his claims; he challenged them to go throught the statistics and find an error and they couldn't. They issued an apology. <BR/><BR/>I just think we've been told many, many lies by the people who stand to lose the most if we, as a nation, get as outraged as we should be. Profit simply does not belong in our health care system. <BR/><BR/>Jenna, I agree; that scene was awful, wasn't it? shameful....katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592401463121063648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494663141817723073.post-70844155800579054462007-11-19T13:32:00.000-08:002007-11-19T13:32:00.000-08:00How strange, we just watched it for the first time...How strange, we just watched it for the first time this weekend too!

Michael Moore doesn't get all his facts right, exaggerates somewhat, but your general idea is RIGHT ON !<BR/>Atta girl. our health care pisses me off too. But its Medicare that is the problem. THAT needs to be fixed, not have all health care under that agency. For years they have paid a small portion of what my doctors bill. or denied it. as they did my eye surgery---as experimental. They have PAGES of reasons to deny. <BR/>There needs to be new and better health agency or new people to run it.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03600056896841452538noreply@blogger.com
