I died of laughter on that CNN intro clip, especially how they were talking shit on Canada. Ive broken my arm 3 times, went to the hospital, left the next day with $1000+ more in my bank account. Not only was it free for me to go, but affordable private insurance compensated me for my very brief trips. Enjoy leaving the hospital with debt americans...
I broke my hand once, saw a specialist that fixed it as best he could without surgery and I shit you not two days ago I found out they're suing me for the $1800 I owe. Fuck this country, I'm moving to Canada.
Beavis Butthead That's my major issue about America. There's a frightening stupidity behind that system. There's the case of a canadian woman who gave birth when she was having vacation in Hawaii. The debt: something around $200,000

The European healthcare system is based on solidarity, on compassion with fellow people. Americans like to call it "socialism". Well, if empathy is part of socialism, I'd rather be a socialist than a capitalist.
“[Republican Senator Robert] Taft explained that the great issue in this campaign is ‘creeping socialism,’ and that is what the General [Dwight D. Eisenhower, running for President at the time] is campaigning against. "Creeping socialization" - or "creeping socialism" - those are the words that give the game away. Socialism - sometimes "creeping" and sometimes "galloping" - is the slogan and patented trademark of the special interest lobbies. Socialism is the epithet they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years. Now listen to this: “ • Socialism is what they called public power. “ • Socialism is what they called social security. “ • Socialism is what they called farm price supports. “ • Socialism is what they called bank deposit insurance. “ • Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. “ • Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. “When the Republican candidate inscribes the slogan ‘Down With Socialism’ on the banner of his ‘great crusade,’ that is really not what he means at all. “Now, my friends, when the Republican candidate inscribes the slogan ‘Down with Socialism’ on the banner of his great crusade, that is really not what he means at all.

Fortunately here in the United States we have both. Socialism does not stand in opposition to capitalism despite what Faux News would have you believe. The military, Social Security, Medicare, fire and police protection are all examples of the combination of capitalism and socialism.
Steven Bellm yep. By the way in Ukraine, great state medicine) However, its services I used only once in a lifetime. At my birth. Because at that time was still the Soviet Union) But we have free medicine. Well, maybe almost)))
I'm not American, I just hope that Michael Moore will continue to make films for many years, he is a very interesting person. maybe biased but at least he is brave.
+Patricia Leary Really he is a truth seeker, you have kind of thinking left or right thats problem with the US mainstream media they are under the thumb of the US Government.
WITH appointment 1hr is about right. Want to see a doctor in a walk-in clinic? Then prepare to wait a few hours. ER can be pretty horrible. Seeing a specialist usually takes weeks best case, usually a few months.
Michael, I love how you get outraged about social plights and confront people. I can't imagine how much strength that must require to do so for several decades and I am under the impression that your work is highly underrated by most of your fellow Americans. Thus, I have the greatest respect for your still doing so. All the best wishes from Germany.
What a crock of shit on Canadian health care. I can go to a doctor today if need be and wait no more than 1hr. Specialists within a week. If you go to an emergency room you are triaged and wait is dependent on severity of illness, and how many people are in the waiting room. A couple of years ago I was getting an odd pain in my chest though not too severe. Went to a hospital here in Toronto and was hooked up to an ECG talking to 2 doctors within 10mins of arriving. That was including registering for my first visit to that particular hospital which takes a few mins. That is nothing in comparison to the nightmare stories I have read about sick people in the USA whom dont have insurance.. Apples and small block chevy's : /
The stats as warped when they say that Americans have shorter wait times because the difference is half of Americans are refused the treatment they need so don't have to wait and the people that are approved are making money for the docs so they get rushed through.
I live in England, got injured about 4 times in last 3 years playing hockey. I was seen by doctors, nurses & emergency personnel every time very quickly. I was x-rayed & stitched and asked to go home in in 45 minutes - 60 minutes. I believe in NHS and would not like to move to private medical service.
Love Michael Moore. He has always been able to see through the propaganda and BS through pretty much everything. He is my brother, even though I'm an atheist. I believe we have a duty to help and love each other. Michael Moore has a friend in me!!
I'm Australian and I've never had to wait until the next day to see a doctor, there is always a doctor that you can see the same day that you call or go there. There is a chance that your doctor may be booked out but there will always be a doctor to see in the day of your choosing.
*You go, Michael !!! The one true person in the U.S. I love it. Here in Boise, Idaho, it takes THREE MONTHS to get a 'new patient appointment' with a primary care physician. In three months, you can either die or get well on your own...."*
Health insurance companies should also be charged with TERRORISM CHARGES whenever they FRAUDULENTLY DENY A CLAIM. FURTHERMORE, fraudulent insurance companies should be sued for medical malpractice whenever the insurance company denies a claim. If they can make a medical decision, pay the price as needed. This, of course, will be done to sue for damages, but CRIMINAL CHARGES FOR PRACTICING MEDICINE WITHOUT A LICENSE MUST GO FIRST
The idea that waiting times for elective procudures are an issue for free healthcare compared to america whereby you simply wont get treatment if you cant pay for it, is simply laughable, the NHS is brilliant, i was born in one, my grandfather died in one
Even when i was in Russia without any insurance i got a free surgery, after a sporting accident, yes the hospital was a bit messy and unclean, but hell i feel perfectly okay and normal. US would charge the shit out of me even with insurance.
I love how it says Americans are the most satisfied with their healthcare treatment, but that’s only taking an account people who are actually got treatment and not the ones who insurance was denied
I have insurance in the USA. If I need to go to a specialist (neurologist, endocrinology, cardiology) I have to wait three to four months because they are all booked. When you finally go to the doctor, he listens for 5 minutes and then you have three prescriptions. So you go in sick, and come out sicker.
Last year I paid 2k in income tax of the 27k i made last year, got maybe 35k worth of healthcare services in that year and barely spent any time waiting for appointments or to be seen.. I love Canada.
Great job Michael. The main stream media is not what it used to be you know this world seems to have changed upside down at the millennium Date of 2000
RUclips streaming the quality in the lowest possible. I've noticed many liberal, progressive, black videos are treated much different than others. Even destruction of subscribed members numbers. Not making the videos available on time, or no notices. *Restricted viewing for sensitive age content, I'm 65.* I can't watch many of the videos for adults on RUclips. That doesn't prevent my watching them.

+Daniel Bishop You are a man with morals sir! California girls definitely know how to pull pork with the best of them. Think that's why Californians have a longer life span. :-)
in canada it is true we pay for it by taxes,but we don't even notice it in all honesty. the one thing that the vast majority of us agree on is that universal health care is staying.even our most conservative politicians will not touch that issue here.
This has been going on since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Every time you design a human system optimized for efficiency or profitability you dehumanize the workforce. That dehumanization has now spread to our health care and social services. When you remove the humanity from a system where people are included, they become victims.
“More of left-wing promoter than Hugo Chávez” for seeing healthcare as a human right instead of a privilege for the monied? Universal healthcare's supported by almost everyone here in the UK.
moore : it took you four years to realise the fact of war,where are the weapons of mass destruction wolf,where were you? wolf : those are fair questions but let's talk about sicko
Thats surprising for Toronto, but I was just reacting, and this only adds proof, about how Canadians wait so so long to get into non-emergency appointments
Respect to all investigative journalists who try to be independent, informed AND get their material available to public Michael Moore attempts to enlighten us with what he sees while painting the bigger picture in a cogent way.
"That Michael Moore is more of a left-wing promoter than Hugo Chávez for crying out loud." - Hahahahaha, I guess someone had to tow the official line, since Wolf Blitzer seems to be more moderate in his reporting.
Yup, left wing, right wing, who gives a SOCKS, who is more qualified to become a president, a man committed to telling the truth or a politician. Case closed.
5 years ago i cracked my skull in half, got flown to a hospital where i operated for hrs. a few days later i got sent to the biggest rehabilitation hospital in Norway for 3 months. there i had my own room with a bed, computer, bathroom with a shower, internet, they had a pool, food anytime i wanted, gym, programs etc. when i got home i didnt need to pay anything.. nothing. and i didnt spent any cash for almost 4 months
Canadian Heathcare would be far better off if the graduating doctors and RNs weren't being recruited and poached by the US healthcare providers. Train your own damn doctors.
SaturnVari3ty it's not a fight of one against other. mr wolf is voicing the concerns of a sysem preocuppied with keeping a status quo, that is clearly affecting the most of the world population
I've lived both in cuba and Venezuela, I'm Venezuelan. This Michael mooor guy has no idea of what he is talking about. If he loves Socialism rather than capitalism I invite him to come visit Venezuela or Cuba and live Hell himself. God bless América.
The fact of the matter is that compared to America, of course Venezuela and Cuba arent as good, but its just a fallacy to compared what are LEDC countries to the worlds pre-eminent HEDC. Why dont you compare the literacy rates and access to healthcare across latin america? or poverty rates in socialist and non socialist countries in south america? The truth of the matter is that the majority of latin america are still living in abject poverty , and the socialist governments which have been in power have vastly reduced the amount of people living in poverty. Capitalism is not the answer.
You are spot on. I live in Mexico now, but before that I lived in Cuba for 2 months (in Trinidad) with my boyfriend and his family. He's a laborer who does private construction work, but he used to be a medical student. Why did he drop out of medicine in his final year to work privately as a builder? Doctors in Cuba get paid about $30 a month. A MONTH. Policemen? About $15 a month. Work in a store? Maybe $10 a month. If you think people can't survive on this wage, it's because you're right. They don't.
legalism when you live in a socialist country, you can then tell us which one you prefer a capitalist system or a socialist system. and how is that that cuba and Venenezuela are not good example, moore did compare healthcare in america to cuba healthcare. all of that is bullshit.
Hey, Canada here, do we have to wait a while for procedures? Yes? IS ANYONE GOING TO GO BROKE, HAVE TO TAKE OUT A SECOND MORTGAGE JUST TO STAY ALIVE? No. Idiots.
~8:20 Yes! Our corporate media is owned and operated on behalf of corporations and billionaires, and their primary mission is increasing quarterly profits. What's best for the country, our communities, cities, and states is merely secondary in service of boosting quarterly profits. The sooner people realize that, and push for a different, better system, where the media is not owned by the billionaires and corporations, and the advertising is strictly regulated, the better off we'll all be.

Canada is an awesome place. As soon I visited there it was evident that I was in a much better environment.
But a lot of people have.
We walk out of the emergency waiting room after 8 hours
So waiting in a room longer for treatment is worse then no treatment at all? Great logic.

Why dont you compare the literacy rates and access to healthcare across latin america? or poverty rates in socialist and non socialist countries in south america?
The truth of the matter is that the majority of latin america are still living in abject poverty , and the socialist governments which have been in power have vastly reduced the amount of people living in poverty.
Capitalism is not the answer.
You are spot on. I live in Mexico now, but before that I lived in Cuba for 2 months (in Trinidad) with my boyfriend and his family. He's a laborer who does private construction work, but he used to be a medical student. Why did he drop out of medicine in his final year to work privately as a builder?
Doctors in Cuba get paid about $30 a month. A MONTH. Policemen? About $15 a month. Work in a store? Maybe $10 a month.
If you think people can't survive on this wage, it's because you're right. They don't.
legalism when you live in a socialist country, you can then tell us which one you prefer a capitalist system or a socialist system. and how is that that cuba and Venenezuela are not good example, moore did compare healthcare in america to cuba healthcare. all of that is bullshit.
Hey, Canada here, do we have to wait a while for procedures? Yes? IS ANYONE GOING TO GO BROKE, HAVE TO TAKE OUT A SECOND MORTGAGE JUST TO STAY ALIVE? No. Idiots.
1:48 CNN: U.S. spends $6100 per person vs. Cuba $230! 4:07 Michael Moore breathes some fire on Wolf Blitzer 😉
Love You Michael you give me hope!
15 years ago. France n1. Today, after 15 years with Macron some African countries are ahead of us.
~8:20 Yes! Our corporate media is owned and operated on behalf of corporations and billionaires, and their primary mission is increasing quarterly profits. What's best for the country, our communities, cities, and states is merely secondary in service of boosting quarterly profits. The sooner people realize that, and push for a different, better system, where the media is not owned by the billionaires and corporations, and the advertising is strictly regulated, the better off we'll all be.
I am Canadian.
I have never been bothered by wait times; wait times I don't even notice.
And I am extremely proud to help everyone out through taxes.
I would call that a knockout..
Michael Moore and Jesse Ventura for the highest office.
Michael Moore is a true patriot; he loves his country and only wants to expose its weaknesses to make it get BETTER!
