I dont believe Moore is a big embarrassment. I do believe he asks embarrassing questions, pokes around in uncomfortable areas, and knows how to get under the skin of others, making them exceedingly leary of him. quote:
Underfunded? Medicare has a 75-year $34 trillion unfunded liability! Its costs are growing faster than inflation. Social Security has a 75-year $5 trillion unfunded liability. These are Ponzi schemes that will be bankrupt before Moore reaches retirement age. The U.S. mail manages to deliver his dad's checks, but compare its performance to FedEx or UPS. The Post Office said it wasn't possible to deliver packages overnight. I want FedEx health care: innovation, new cancer treatments, hip replacements and pain relief. We get that from private-sector competition, not government lethargy. Would it surprise you that this was written in 2007? and in the same article this was said.... not by Moore mind you... quote:
America's medical system has problems, but profit is the least of it. Government mandates, overregulation and a tax code that pushes employer-paid health insurance prevent the free market from performing its efficient miracles. Six out of seven health-care dollars are spent by third parties. That kills the market. Patients rarely shop around, and doctors rarely compete on price or service. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2007/07/where_michael_moore_is_wrong.html Who is the embarrassment?
