Cleverly done! By positioning Gupta as opposed by Michael Moore—one of the most hated liberal names in far-right circles—, Gupta’s enemies are now defanged and unsure whether to still oppose him.

“If he argued with Michael ‘Antichrist’ Moore, he must be an okay centrist type,” their feeble minds will clunk and clatter out. “So maybe the guy’s okay after all.”

Good work!

A patient in need of healing might better prefer a physician who was correct and told the truth. Krugman is credible and if he says Gupta was wrong/dishonest and Moore was right/truthful that really makes the decision rather simply: Moore would be a better healer for America…

…however he had his chance with “Fahrenheit 911” and he, for whatever reason…cowardice, Roman Catholic “faith,” etc…chose to provide Bush, who provably committed 9/11(Viz.”The New Pearl Harbor,” Griffin, PhD) rather than simply being a pal of those who may have hand some ancillary hand in it, a vaccine instead.

Gupta? Now we know who got Obama elected: the RX industry.

Maybe they’ve got a pill for hip-hop syndrome.

Become president first. Then double cross the money that got you there.

You’ll only get four years, but you’ll have been prez.

Obama wants 8 years. So he sells out to RX.

Kiss healthcare goodbye.

I wonder if Michael Moore is waiting on universal healthcare to “cure” him of his obesity. It’s people like him who keep doctors in business. He’s a heart attack waiting to happen (if only we could be so lucky), and just disgusting to even look at. I’ll never believe a word that comes out of that man’s mouth.

Must be something bad wrong with Gupta if he lost a debate or argument with M Moore over facts. M Moore is incapable of telling the truth, as we know from his so-called doc-o-mentaries. And supporting Conyers on universal health care is equally insane: we all know that it does not work as well as our system. Only by simplistic ignoring of any contrary facts about experience elsewhere and human reailty can one think that universal health care would improve the lives of people in the USA.

I love the liberal non-use of the mind, it’s pretty funny and probably would make a great sitcom, sort of a reverse Archie Bunker. Michael Moore would not know a fact if it sat on his plate and looked like a donut. That Conyers plays to him is absolutely hilarious, given he has no intellectual base for what he says. Just a little cozying up by the Dumb-o-crats to another intellectly vapid liberal.

Sicca, whether socialized health care works on the patient side is a function of how it doesn’t work on the economic side.

Canada can make socialized health care work because the American system serves as a safety net for the expensive exceptional cases. Countries like Cuba or Venezuela can offer good socialized health care by eviscerating wealth of everyone. Scandinavian countries can make socialized health care because of a combination of insane tax rates and biological advantages of their inhabitants.

If you wanna see why socialized health care is not a long term solution, get familiarized with Britain. Waits for routine treatments are absurdly long, doctors are leaving the country is greater numbers than the medical schools can produce, and the country spends a substantial amount of its budget nonetheless.

The solution is not to get rid of the American health care system and replace it with another system. The solution is to make incremental changes that keep the quality of care high while providing access to more and more people while encouraging the charitable support of society and the medical community to cover those who are presently on the outside.

I have lived out of the country and seen systems in other countries, I am in nursing school and have several students from England and Canada in my class, I know many foreigners from England and Canada, and I have not met ONE, not ONE that thinks their country’s healthcare system is a good one. They laugh and ask why I think they came here to our country.

Being in the medical field, it is obvious that two entities pull the puppets strings—the medical system and doctors and nurses are the puppets and those that pull the strings are the pharmacutical empire and the insurance empire. Any reform attemped is stopped with the aid of the vast lobbyist network they both employ with the congress. Dr.s are sick and tired of it and how it ties their hands from being true doctors.

Want to improve our system? Find a way to eliminate or limit the two puppeteers power, return the ability to truly doctor back to the health care professionals, allow the doctors and communities to work together to help cover all, revamp the national programs we already have: medicare and medicaid to be rid of the fraud. I am sure there is much more, but those are the basics we in the industry see. Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water.

Appointing Sanjay Gupta as Surgeon General is like appointing “Judge Judy” to the Supreme Court. Dr. Gupta has few qualifications to be Surgeon General. He has openly rejected the view that American healthcare is in serious trouble; he has no experience in public health or public health policy.

Dr. Gupta is tainted. Dr Gupta DOES NOT share the point of view of many in the medical profession! He is connected closely with the big Pharmaceutical companies and the insurance companies that have put us in the healthcare crisis we are in. Dr. Gupta is all about what’s wrong with medicine. He has too many conflicts of interest.

Obama should consider: 1. Howard Koh, MD MPH former Commissioner of Public Health in Massachusetts, now at the Harvard School of Public Health. Dr. Koh is a true advocate for health. 2. Marcia Angell, MD , former editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, now in the Department of Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School.

Appointing a TV commentator on health to a high level post in health is the dumbest idea ever. He is totally without substance, and plays to ratings, not science. As previous comments have stated this would be like appointing Judge Judy to the Supreme Court.

It’s just stupid to have someone like Gupta appointed to the SG post if he can’t see that the health care system is in dire trouble. How is he going to fix it? Do a biased CNN report on it? He has no idea of how other systems work, much less health care issues other than what plays out on TV. Guess he watches “House” and “ER” a lot!

Remember the days of employer provided free health care? It was part of your compensation package/fringe benefits. My husband’s job offers employer health care where you pay your premium every paycheck (if you want to have medical and/or dental insurance) with your pre-tax income. What is wrong with doing that for everyone? If you have a job, you and your employer pay into the health care system. If you don’t have a job, then you have Medicare or Medicad. Why do we need more government intervention?

As Nobel prize winner Paul Krugman has stated, this has little to do with whether you like, respect or hate Michael Moore. It has everything to do with distortions and lies.

Regardless of whether you think Moore is a blowhard or a propaganda-driven tool his facts in “Sicko” were correct while Gupta and CNN jumped on the Anti-Moore bandwagon saying he “fudged” those facts. Only a half-hearted apology followed.

This has less to do with Moore, and everything to do with research, facts and following the herd against an unpopular figure even when he may just be right.

49 million uninsured is a big fat lie promoted by the leftists advocating universal healthcare. Numerous studies have shown it is much less. Subtract the 12(the bare minimum) and up to 25(more accurate) illegal aliens who should be getting their healthcare from their home Latin Americans countries “fat Moore” so loves. Also subtract the millions of low income people who are either too stupid or too lazy to know that they ALREADY qualify for state Medicaid. Also subtract some of the young people who think they are too healthy and “indestructable” who CAN afford healthcare but would rather spend the money on a new IPOD. Subtract all those people, and the real number is around 12-14 million. Still a heckuva lot but not nearly the sensationalized number bantied about by the liberal media.

Look, I’m a dyed in the wool Liberal but I think that Michael Moore is a sensationalist who’s trying to sell a film. To take his word on health-care on a national level is ludicrous. Health care is a freakin’ nightmare on a broad scale with no two people needing the same type of care. Attempting to standardize something as dynamic as health-care will only lead to some professionals being certified when they shouldn’t be and patients being misdiagnosed. You can screw around with many things but health-care shouldn’t be one of them.

Mr. Gupta, as an American of Hindu-Indian heritage just like you, may I advise you, that the these left wing whiners will probably stop you from being a Surgeon General. But I want you to remember the mantra we all know, that it takes 9 Gringos to beat a Hindu, in whatever field he chooses. So dont lose heart and carry on with your life.

I think Sanjay Gupta is a good choice for Surgeon General. He works for a public hospital, he could have chosen to do something more lucrative as a doctor. He also uses CNN to inform the public about important health issues. As for Michael Moore I think he’s good at making people think more about certain issues, but I would never take anything he says at face value. He’s like Rosie O’Donnell, I think sometimes he just likes to argue with people. There’s no question that our healthcare system needs improving.

Those that think that socialized medicine in Europe or Canada is a good idea should take a good look at the mortality statistics for things like cancer and think again. They should also look at the wait times for basic diagnostic tests like MRI’s.

Michael Moore succeded in making a terrific movie with F 9/11. Sicko just killed that success. If he can substantiate that the Canadian health system works fine - as he mentioned in his interview with L. King - he certainly has no knowledge/facts of what he’s talking about. Wait lists for heart patients, hip and knee replacements, among so many others are running from 1 to 1.5 years … Canadians that can afford the expense dash to the US where they can get treatment in a matter of days. Those Canadians that can’t die or suffer in the qeue. They have no choice. I know and have suffered the downside of social medicine first hand. I live in Canada. We know Tthe UK is no different. To argue that his (MM’s) statistics come from G. Bush’s health plan …and CNN’s figures are all made up! Give me a break. Didn’t he make an entire movie about there not being a thing that’s credible about Bush? Moore is no role model for a healthy life. I applaud the idea of Obama making Gupta the Surgeon General. From where he is he is probably one of the biggest and best conributors to a safe a healthy world.

To those of you who think that anyone in the U.S. doesn’t have healthcare because they don’t want it or are too lazy & stupid to get it, you should do more research. Even large companies are getting rid of healthcare for their employees because they cannot afford it. As a someone who was recently laid off, I can pay $1300 a month for COBRA to cover my family, or $300 for a plan that only covers us in case of emergencies. If you are not on COBRA, the cheapest options I have found through research are $1800 a month, and because of my husband’s salary we make too much to qualify for Medicaid. There are many that fall through the cracks like this, who want to have health insurance, but simply cannot afford it.

For Health and dental I pay roughly $7800 year for myself , wife, and infant daughter. Our Plan is good but not great, and I STILL pay out of pocket for alot of visits for the wife and kid. We are a relatively healthy family, and have yet to visit the doctor / emergency room for “emergency” visits. C’mon people…that is just too much! Anypne who has seen Sicko and who has relatives in Europe (France) & Canada like we do, know first hand that it is a FACT that their Universal Healthcare is WAY better than the US’s privatized system, both in cost and it’s level of service. I voted for Obama, but now I know that the RX industry helped him get elected….looks like I’ll be moving to Canada!
