Michael Moore rocks. I do not know what I like most: how funny his movies are, how much he annoy's the Right or how he doesn't apologize for having a POV.

Great context for an interview I would have missed otherwise!

Thanks, Andy. This is great. Quite a relief to see this after the CNN debacle. This one is nice. He's clearly in a place he feels safe. Go NPR!

Hi Andy,
I enjoyed this. It's a really great way to let us sit in on the studio session and get a feel for what it's like.

I'm glad Moore was able to get a break from arguing over a statistic to get tothe main point, that our system is harly worthy of the name, but the few who benefit have the money to propagandize most people into thinking it's the best system and all foreign systems are horrid, when in fact the opposite is the case. When enough people find out, maybe we'll at least get a sane single payer system.

Michael does great things in bringing to the forefront topics that need addressing. In fact I am sure that we have all thought of many more topics that Michael should champion, as there are many injustices both here and abroad. He is right that the media lie, telling us how great this less than great country is; they try to convince us we are the best, yet we rank 37th in the world of the best countries. It is time we stop listening to the ad-supported media and make our own decisions. Everyone here should go abroad more, stop believing you are going to be hated in other countries, it isn't so, that is another lie; your government is hated, not you, and the world is smart enough to differentiate between the two. They in fact sympathise with you, and share your anguish.
Go and see what is out there, take in what is best or novel within other countries, then, come back here with that knowledge and make all of our lives better. Michael is trying to do this for you, but there are other examples: Car Industry, Banking, education and MEDIA, are good examples.
There is no doubt this can be the best country in the world, but it will never be that if our economy is based on war, and our citizens are misinformed and keep their head in the sand.
Thanks Michael for helping US to take the first step to awareness. Hopefully action will be a result.

I sure hope Michael Moore has health insurance. One look and anybody can see the diabetes and heart disease brewing in gluttonous frame. I don't mind the idea of national health insurance, but only if the obese, smokers, and cyclists and motorcyclists who refuse to wear helmets are excluded.

This response is for Mike's analysis of Michael Moore's large frame. NO need to get personal and mean. More importantly, do you think that we are already not paying for majority of obese people or burger gobbling Americans or smokers etc? Atleast with the universal health care, all will have equal access and every one deserves it!

lk777...not trying to be mean, just making a point. You'll never look like Michael Moore by eating small portions and getting regular exercise. If you spend a lifetime developing deadly health habits, please don't expect me to pay for your health care. That's all.

Mike, if Michael Moore has health insurance, it could be with your insurer - presuming you take the advice you give out. You may be paying for his health care - or mine, if you're with Blue Cross. Would you ask your insurance company to refuse to accept people who are obese, or alcoholic, or smokers, or in high-risk occupations? Have them weeded out so you don't have to pay for them? Well, guess what? You will still pay for them when they go to a hospital and get service they can't afford. The rest of us DO pay for the health care of people who can't afford it. It's a market reaction - raise the rates when the revenue doesn't meet the cost of doing business.

Moore's just suggesting we cut out a lot of the middlemen - the corporate bureaucrats who stand in between you and your doctor. He's calling for a simpler and in the end cheaper system. Sure, a lot of insurance people - "counters of beans and sundries" as an old Tom Tomorrow cartoon called them - will have to find other work, but they will. And if they don't, at least they won't have to worry about their health insurance while they're looking.

If you wish to witness mean, rent "Bowling for Columbine," and watch the interaction between Michael Moore and the Alzheimer's ridden Charlton Heston. Watch Michael Moore blame him and taunt him with gratuitous cruelty. Michael Moore is mean and if he can't take it, he ought not dish it out.

Lynn...

I adore radio and your show. This is more about you than Micheal Moore. Putting a face to the voice has always been a big imaginary thing for me. Kinda like video killed the radio star and the MTV theme thinking mindset.... Anyhow to see your lovely face and the rest of the crew is truly a delight. Now I can picture you with a face instead of that perpetual imaginary face. By the way, as always...your face did not match my imaginary one. It's all good though. Nothing like that "A face made only for radio deal". O.K. enough said as I dig my compliment hole deeper.

As always..

SiCKO is Moore's most powerful and most important film. Why? Because all of us, Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and liberals, are effected by health care insurance, or the lack there of.
