The Truth About U.S. Healthcare

I just watched a video on YouTube.com of an interview between Wolf Blitzer and Michael Moore concerning Moore's new film "Sicko." Sadly, CNN ran a hit piece by Dr. Sanjay Gupta just before the interview began which infuriated Moore and rightly so. CNN owes Moore an apology. The piece by Gupta claims to check Sicko's facts but gets its own facts incorrect. You can see the entire interview and the real facts here on Moore's site. I have gone through each point that Moore makes about Gupta's attacks, and Moore's facts check out. The real fact is that the message brought to us in "Sicko" is real. It's about real Americans facing real failures by our healthcare system. I urge everyone to see it. I also urge you to find and support alternative news sources because even those that formerly provided balanced views on the issues are now moving far to the right in support of their sponsors. I am very much enjoying the hammering that some "reporters" and "pundits" are receiving from their guests. Here's another one you might enjoy - Jon Stewart hammering the hosts of CNN's Crossfire.
