Sicko Reply #3 – January 13, 2008, 11:32:56 AM Didn't watch the whole thing, just the first three stories, that was enough. I am one of those without health insurance. I have stitched myself up a dozen times. I've lived with broken bones when (collar bones, knee caps, fingers, ribs) knowing that an emergency room visit would cost a fortune that I didn't have and all they would do is wrap them up and tell me not to move. I already knew that, why did I need a Pakistani who can't even speak english to tell me that? I'm 45 years old and I know I have some health issues that need to be dealt with. I can't afford to to do it. So I have a different attitude about these things. I no longer worry about what I might die of. I'm going to die, some day, one way or another. I refuse to live my life in fear of when I'm going to die and what I will die of. And I will be remembered for my life, not my death. Quote Selected

Sicko Reply #5 – January 13, 2008, 12:48:49 PM I'm not going to deny that our health care system needs to be looked at in order to curb the continually escalating costs, but in my opinion Michael Moore is the real "sicko" for making movies that are nothing more than propaganda to get rich. :disappoin Brent:cougarsmily: Quote Selected

Sicko Reply #7 – January 13, 2008, 01:18:28 PM Doctors in this country take on tremendous debt from school to learn their trade. Medical supply companies charge huge amounts for equipment....lawsuits...go figure why health care costs soo much. No surprise at all. Insurance companies get put in the middle of this. The truth is that the system sucks. No one in the US should be without health care- period. I admire Michael Moore for bringing this to the attention of the public in a movie. His movie "SICKO" got yanked from the theatres here quickly because around here, they don't want the public at large to give much thought to the subject--if one should get seriously sick. The truth is, insurance health policies today do not have the same unlimited coverage that they had when my parents collected 40 years ago. If you think you could be immune to this mess, pray it never happens to you---for one thing, don't plan on losing your job, especially if you are over 40 because your health care will go with it--if you had any. That never happens in the US these days, right? Quote Selected
Sicko Reply #8 – January 13, 2008, 01:18:40 PM X3. I've always been somewhat of a liberal thinker, but even I can't stand Michael Moore. Still, he had a pretty good fart-off with Peter Griffin... Quote Selected
Sicko Reply #9 – January 13, 2008, 01:28:03 PM It's amazing the things we will do when faced with no health insurance. I was without for about 2 1/2 years just before 2003.MANY broken fingers, popped fingernails, dislocated knee.One time I whacked my right middle finger with a 28oz. framing hammer. Blood pooled under the nail causing pressure in turn causing imense pain. I actually drilled 2 holes in the fingernail to let the blood run out to relieve the pressure.Electrical tape was for small cuts, duct tape was for those which really should have gotten stitches....

Sicko Reply #10 – January 13, 2008, 04:04:25 PM V8-- After some guy at work told me to drill the nail--I thought he was nutso. After 2 days of pain, I drilled it. Instant relief. After that, no pain. The nail fell off, but got a new one in its place. Maybe that's why doctors cut open the skull to reduce pressure in the brain after brain injury. The brain cut probably has saved a lot of lives.Mr. Moore was in a movie called "Lucky Numbers" with John Travolta. It remains one of the funnier movies I have seen. He plays Lisa Kudrow's cousin I believe. If you liked "Fargo", Lucky Numbers follows somewhat a similar type of plot. Quote Selected
Sicko Reply #11 – January 13, 2008, 04:37:23 PM I've got free health care, and I've drilled my nails as well :hick: I figured "What the hell, that's what the doctor would do anyway"......and once when I was about 12 years old I cut myself very deep, in the leg, with a boxcutter while trying to cut the back off a speaker box (knife slipped, came down across my leg). It went in just between two major veins, but did not bleed. A bunch of white stuff that I'm assuming was fat was hanging out, though. Not wanting to tell my mother that I was cutting my stereo speakers apart, I tucked the white stuff back in the hole and sealed it up with clear plastic packing tape. Never bled a drop, but it did leave a rather large scar... Quote Selected

Sicko Reply #13 – January 13, 2008, 06:12:33 PM That was an awesome video. It wasn't full of propaganda or anything. At the end when they took Americans to Cuba to be treated was the best.5 cent inhalers, compared to our 120.oo inhalers... That's just insane.Still don't think I'll vote for Hilary. :D Quote Selected
