Question by HockeyGuy: Don’t you think that the filmmaker Michael Moore is a hyprocrite and only in the biz to make money?
He makes documentaries like “Sicko” to pull at our heartstrings, because the health care system is something that everyone can relate to. Everyone would love to have free healthcare, etc. Moore goes on all of these shows, CNN, Fox News, etc, and bulldozes down the hosts like Wolf Blitzer, Dr. Gupta, etc. But you know what? When it all comes down to it, at the end of the day, it is really just another press juncket for him to promote his movie. And the tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of dollars the movie will make worldwide, when you factor into the dvd sales, the multi-millionaire Michael Moore will just get richer. I’m sure his heart is in the right place, and I’m sure he would really like to help out the homeless, the downtroden, the unemployed, the single moms, the sick, the laid off, the poor, but at the end of the day, he will go back to his mansion wherever that is, probably NYC penthouse he bought a few years back, or in LA somewhere, and just count his $ .
If he really wanted to do something for the medically uninsured or underinsured Americans, he would donate a portion of the proceeds of the film Sicko to American households. But will he??? The answer is a resounding NO. Michael Moore is the kinda guy who eats a $ 100 steak at Peter Luger’s steakhouse in NYC and looks out the window at a homeless guy and thinks, “Oh, poor guy” then goes back to eating his meal. If he really wants to put his money where his mouth is, he should start donating and start donating fast to the millions of Americans with medical insurance. If he doesn’t do that, then he is just another greedy Hollywood filmmaker out to make a buck.
I meant, to the millions of Americans “without” medical insurance, not “with”
