The damn bastard, he's so caught up in 'doing good' in a world were no one does anything of the sort people are confused if he's just another exploitative capitalist. His donation to John Fleisher (founder of the number one anti-Moore website on the internet) to help his wife under go treatment was revealed in his latest movie.
So is this just another publicity stunt? Showing how Cuba, a supposed enemy of the United States was selling medication for five cents that costs $130 in the US and providing completely free medical care and allowed the US citizens to enjoy the same benefit only asking for a name and birthdate.
Wether or not Moore is in it for the money or fame is almost irrelevent, he's still bringing facts to life, facts that scare rich people. The United States spends six thousand US dollars per person on healthcare, yet cannot provide any reasonable service, however countires like Australia or France spend 1/6th of that and are doing very well.
Cuba only spends $210 a year per person yet can provide a better service than anything private in the US. Clearly the issue isn't spending, the issue is wasting, Americans are losing their money because of corruption amd whether or not Michael Moore stands to gain anything from this is a non-issue. The companies tasked with taking care of peoples healths has most of congress in its pay rolls.
At the end of the day it really scares people of power because Sicko clearly demonstrates the American economy is more about rich people exploiting poor people and that a free market idea is not ideal in all cases and that socialism in fact can be better than capitalism in a lot of different areas.
