After Michael Moore was directly mentioned in Luigi Mangione’s ‘manifesto’, as someone who can explain the shitshow that is the American healthcare system, Moore’s response included posting his entire 2007 movie SICKO to YouTube, in its entirety, no ads.
Here’s his full post about it: https://www.michaelmoore.com/p/a-manifesto-against-for-profit-health
Here’s the movie: https://youtube.com/watch?v=YbEQ7acb0IE
Somehow Michael Moore returned.
Here’s a sad statistic for you: In the United States, we have a whopping 1.4 million people employed with the job of DENYING HEALTH CARE, vs only 1 million doctors in the entire country! That’s all you need to know about America. We pay more people to deny care than to give it. 1 million doctors to give care, 1.4 million brutes in cubicles doing their best to stop doctors from giving that care. If the purpose of “health care” is to keep people alive, then what is the purpose of DENYING PEOPLE HEALTH CARE? Other than to kill them? I definitely condemn that kind of murder.
Yikes.
I could not have been happier seeing that monster of a response.
What makes me sad is that his documentary is almost* 20 and still incredibly relevant. The same is true of Bowling for Columbine.
Had a stroke on November 19th Just for the hospital bills it’s $200,000, this doesn’t include the MRI, ambulance ride, or half dozen other charges I got. I’ve applied for financial aid, but there is a shit ton of red tape and hoops to jump though, and I’ve already been denied for part of it. Won’t know more till closer to the end of the year. Yeah, I can totally see where Luigi is coming from.
