WeLLO
I dont plan to see Michael's Moore's SiCKO, for the same reason I've never watched any of his propaganda, or Leni Riefenstahl's, for that matter. They're all fascists. Although Key's stepdad has some very sweet Natzee ceremonial daggers in his antique store. Not sure where he got 'em, but I want one. I think every American male of a certain age has a fantasy of strapping on a skull head Nazi dagger to his naked form in the privacy of his bathroom, and strutting around pretending he's an evil SS officer. Actually, we all want to be Albert Speer, because he was evil incarnate but he built things! All is forgiven there with the architecture thing. Look at them pyramid builders. Unknown atrocities!
Back to Moore. He's touting the fact that the World Health Organization ranked the US 37th in quality of medical care. Right above number 38 Slovenia.
Simple question: your appendix has burst. Perontinitis is setting in. Who do you want operating on you? Dr. Levine at the Mayo Clinc or Dr. Drnovsek in Ljubljana? The one opening dogfood cans with his scalpel? I know who I want operating on Michael Moore.
My health care plan kicks pussy. It's the Bentley of plans, and relatively cheap. I can get in to see my doctor on a day's notice, and she is ten years younger than me, and offers a glass of Merlot before she checks my prostate. Aromotherapy candles up the co-pay from $15 to $20 for that particular procedure, though. Still a bargain at twice the price!
All the nurses and physician's assistants have apparently had breast augmentations, and unbotton the top four buttons on their uniforms to show off their buttery Florida tans.
My only problem is I keep going in to change meds, which is just a pretext to see the buttery breasts. But they've started an holistic section, so I'm just going in for meditation sessions now. Way mo bettah.
Fuck Moore. The only way I see him properly addressed is being flensed while cabled to a Japanese whaling ship, his larded ass rolling over and over as those vicious Nips peel his blubber off like a bloomin' onion.
Me? I'm sticking with what I got. And fortunately I'm now of an age I can get all the cheap sigmoidostomies I can handle.Which I'm cutting back to once a month.
UPDATE: Forgot to hyperlink the death's head shiv antique store! Thanks for the head up, Key.
It's always best to have a lady doctah with leetle tiny hands when it's Prostate Checkin' Time.
Just ask Yabu. Last doctor checked him, so I hear, was a former Harlem Globetrotter that could pick up a 13" diameter dinner plate with one hand. It was just like Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy...except, of course, it's hard to picture Yabu in a top hat.
Posted by: Elisson at July 11, 2007 12:26 AMI've heard a little about the film but haven't seen it. I read that he makes Canada sounds like it's all wonderful and great with socialized health care. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with socialized health care and I wouldn't want to have it like it is in the US, but it ain't all pretty and there are things that could change here, too for sure. No matter what system you've got, there's going to be good and there's going to be bad, that's just how it works.

Posted by: Maeve at July 11, 2007 9:06 AMI don't see how that plan is more economical...!
RE the gun-loving step-dad, I tried to create him a website. But since Sammy wouldn't help me, it kinda sux. (Just kiddin' Sammy! I know you tried to call, but I had already created the freebie. Up to the folks to fork over the $10/month, right?!)
