Isn't it counter intuitive to highlight Cuba when attempting to convince people

[Chris J]

we need socialized medicine? Did anybody else find the movie Sicko a staged, unconvincing piece of propaganda?

Isn't it demonstrably ignorant to try and convince Americans we need socialized medicine by hobnobbing around a communist hellhole....a hellhole that people risk life and limb to escape?

Golly Geee.....let's be like Cuba!!

No one is talking about socialized medicine.

They are wanting to offer a national health plan that we will buy just like any other health plan.

If they call it blue and white cross, would that make it easier to understand?

It is a plan, like Blue cross. Nothing more.

You will not have to buy it if you are covered by an employer or just want to have a different policy.

Good grief.
People on here are morons.

Sicko and all of Moore's movie are propaganda, comparable only to movie's like Gore's fearmongering global warming movie. socialized medicine is a terrible idea and demonstrating how"great" it is in Cuba is ridiculous. however, you can go to any country with socialized medical care, even the nicer ones like Canada, and find strained economies, people exploiting the system, and unavailability of high quality and/or speedy healthcare

You need a lesson in reality. get your facts straight

I don't agree with socialized medicine either. But I've worked in Medical care.
