In addition to insisting the U.S. needs universal health insurance, Michael Moore introduced another plan to help Americans on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" July 26.
He urged audience members to use threats and intimidation with his new "SiCKO health care card:"
“The way this works is, anytime they give you any grief – your insurance company or whatever – you just whip this out and you say, ‘How would you like to be in Michael Moore’s next movie or on the DVD of ‘SiCKO’?’ and … you know, it says right here this card, if denied coverage, we’ll provide you coverage in a Michael Moore film,” said Moore.
The "card" can be printed off from Moore's Web site to then be signed and laminated. Wow, that's impressive.“With the power of YouTube and again, the power of your ‘SiCKO health care’ card, we can keep these guys honest, right?” Moore said. Moore still repeated inaccurate claims of the number of uninsured Americans -- 47 million this time.The filmmaker also told viewers that just before his appearance the U.S. Government had subpeonaed him for his trip to Cuba.

July 27, 2007 - 19:34 ET by MikeBIt seems to me that Michael Mooron just opened himself up to some major liability. Some clown will try to use this card, or make some other attempt to extort either a doctor, hospital or insurance company, be charged or sued, and he will in turn sue Mikey.
If Comrade Mooron is so disturbed by the number of uninsured Americans, or doesn't like the current insurance contracts, he should get together with some of his other mega-wealthy socialists and open their own insurance company with the type of contracts they espouse. Of course, that insurer will be insolvent within a year, but Mikey would finally get some experience in the real world.

July 27, 2007 - 20:04 ET by motherbeltMichael Moore is disgusting. He says
“Journalists can go [to Cuba], and this [‘SiCKO’] is a work of journalism,”
He calls his work "journalism." That is, until he gets called on fudging facts. Then it becomes humor, or commentary, or satire, or as he once said, a combination of all three to create "a work of art." Handy how that "artistic license" thing is there when you need it, huh, Mike?
Sadly, he will probably
July 27, 2007 - 21:02 ET by VT Con ManSadly, he will probably make millions at his shameful, useless propagandizing of lies from cooba. Fat, smelly little nitwit. Oops, did i just get personal, why yes i did. Sue me. ; )
And hey, isn't he himself violating a leftist/libby requirement, that you cannot be a fat pig and whine about healthcare at the same time?
Michael Moore's Last Hoorah
July 27, 2007 - 21:25 ET by Lame CherryWhen one has lost they resort to terrorism, bin Laden and Michael Moore with his call for anarchy and violence.
What I request is the video of Moore facing Federal United States Attorneys in his subpeona. I would like to see him smart off to them and find out what happens when you violate US law.
Moore I will bet will have tears in his eyes and be wetting his pants before this is done. He has played the big shot shooting at those who can not shoot back.......Moore is about to find out the big cannons are after him.
