Michael Moore interview on Democracy Now

ds — 6/18/2007 8:43:39 PM (archived)

TODAY'S DEMOCRACY NOW!:

* An Hour with Michael Moore on "Sicko," his Trip to Cuba with 9/11 Rescue
Workers, the Removal of Private Healthcare Companies & Clinton's Ties to
Insurance Companies: "They're into Her Pocket and She's Into Their Pocket
And I Don't Expect Much From Her" *

Academy Award-winning filmmaker Michael Moore sits down with Democracy Now!
ahead of the release of his new film SiCKO. The film is a seething
indictment of the US healthcare system. It focuses not on the more than 40
million people who don't have healthcare but on the 250 million who do -
many of whom are abandoned by the very health insurance industry they paid
into for decades. "They are getting away with murder," Moore said of the
health insurance companies. "They charge whatever they want. There is no
government control, and frankly we will not fix our system until we remove
these private insurance companies."
