Is Michael Moore the poster child for the most prevalent health care crisis


Is Michael Moore the poster child for the most prevalent health care crisis?
Namely, the inability and unwillingness of people to take responsibility for their own health. People want to abuse their bodies for decades and then have someone else pick up the tab when the body throws in the towel. I say no deal.

Ouch. Did you see his new movie? He isn't trying to get healthcare for himself. he's trying to get healthcare for 9/11 emergency workers.

The questioner's point is excellent. Our health care system would be far less expensive if not for the millions of self-created diabetes and heart disease cases caused by bad lifestyle choices. And the previous answer from "Yahoo is Stupid" is incorrect and misleading. Michael Moore could not care less about getting care for 9/11 workers. He simply wants to sensationalize the plight of these people to make his ill-conceived case for a sociaistic health care system.

1st, exclude children... That parents abandon them doesn't justify not helping them... 2nd, congenital and degenerative disease does in fact exist.... 3rd, "wants" don't exist in a vacuum - most people who have some sort of eating disorder or the like (the "in betweens") don't wake up one morning and decide to intentionally sabotage their well-being because of some need for socialism... They do so negligently or because society itself has given them the incentive (i.e. people always talk, talk, talk, talk, because they have nothing better to do - and the talk is unlike my analysis - they talk about other people, criticize them, often with no factual basis).. In short, NO.

Most health problems are beyond the individual's control. You'd suddenly find it's a great deal if you were stricken with something that required lengthy, expensive hospitalization. You don't know what's good for you. Micheal Moore is trying to open some eyes about the benefits of public health care. You should be kissing his over-sized a**

You must be very young or you would know that you can take the best care of yourself and still get a disease and have astronomical medical bills. It's the working middle class that is dying from this greedy medical insurance companies. Just because you have an HMO or other insurance is no guarantee you will be covered. How would you feel if you were hit by a head on crash by some illegal or other poor uninsured driver and had to spend the rest of your life as paraplegic with unending medical bills. It happened in my family.Do you think the government would help? The answer is no they won't.

Mike Moore using the 911 workers to get his lefty message out to try again to target Bush , remember the brave and loyal people that went in to help after 911 went in with there hearts to try and help, no one knew right away the medical things that would happen. I think those that went in after 911 with there hearts disregarding the things that could affect there health, I think that they should get all the medical attention they need . after 911 was a time where no one cared if you were left or right just that you were american , how things have changed now it`s everyone for themselves , the only real sicko is Mike Moore himself making a buck off the expense of these 911 workers, just as he used columbine ., Moore does`nt care for these people he is just trying to make a buck for himself.
