Maybe folks are tried of the leftists liberals like Moore telling us how rotten is the USA.

Politicians taking my health care needs and changing them from a asset to a capitalist medical industry into a liability to the taxing state is the last thing I want to have happen.

Michael Moore can take his anti-American crap and stick it in his Big Mac.

About your statement making 600K. Do you know the average PCP makes about 150K (less if you are a pedaitrician). Mike Moore does have good points, too bad he wraps them in BS. All you have shown is that you are clueless. Do you really think Cuba's healthcare is that good? Yeah, that is why Fidel imported a surgeon from Spain. What a fool you are. Keep drinking Hillary's kool-aid. You can bet after NHS is instituted in the US, she won't be waiting in line comrade. anon 2:23:

It is a no brainer than people in the US suffer so that the drug companies can turn a profit. At least Michael Moore has the guts to say something - doubt we'd hear from anyone else who had as much box office pull. Oh, and there's not a thing wrong with socialized medicine. We have socialized police, fire and other public services. That's socialized, isn't it? Why not medicine? Afraid to make only 200K a year rather than 600k??? <br/><br/>Who needs that much money? Who needs that much money when people are dying, being dumped on the streets by hospitals, and when Cuba has better health care despite being one notch below us on the worldwide scale? <br/><br/>Answer me that.

Sicko was entertaining and depressing at the same time and it was a documentary on healthcare...hardly the subject for a box office hit. For a documentary that had limited theatre release, it has done exceptionally well. Despite the right wing attempts to discredit Michael Moore yet again, the facts in Sicko speak for themselves.

That's why the numbers were terrible. Sicko was available for illegal(?) internet download about 1 week before the movie opened in theaters. That’s why the numbers were terrible.

That movie was probably one of the biggest busts of the summer. You could not watch television without hearing about that movie 2-3 times per show. I think what kevin says here makes sense.

As a documentary Sicko is still a top grossing one.

I’d love to see you post threads that were a little more interested in facts.

Irrelevant snark like this:
a”djusted for inflation and higher ticket prices, her 1991 bio doc Madonna: Truth or Dare
took in a $23.4 million at the domesic box office during its month-long release. And we all remember the sea change in American politics that followed that one.”

You are forwarding the idea that a documentary that does better at the Box Office than a biography about Madonna near the height of her popularity is bad? How far are you willing to stretch the truth to try and tweak Michael Moore.

You are beginning to look obsessed and desperate.
