In reply to the discussion: Michael Moore Gives MSNBC's Centrist Hosts a MUCH Needed Reality Check [View all]Leith
(7,809 posts)9. Everything my homeboy said is absolutely correct
I have a neighbor who retired from a major health insurance company about 3 years ago. She retired with full Medicare and retirees' insurance benefits.
When she still worked for them, she was adamant that insurance companies were the way to go and they weren't going anywhere.
Then, her husband died after a prolonged illness. Every day she got a new medical bill in the mailbox. It didn't take long for her to cry every time she went to get her mail. It took about 10 months to get paperwork straightened out - and she still had connections with high level people at the insurance companies.
She's not so gung-ho on insurance companies any more.

I (in US) make right around average, and I don't 'take home' as high a % as represented there

Must be nice being 'neutral' and thus having almost zero military as I assume the Swiss do not ...

The biggest hurdle is education on convincing Americans that health care would be cheaper

I fully agree with that, but it's the convincing and then implementing part
Lock him up.

He's so right on. I'm so glad he's out there doing and saying to the public what I too believe.

There is a lot of Moore-bashing here. Is it because he warned us that Assface would win?
