Bush sends goons after Michael Moore expose "Sicko"

May 19, 2007

Cannes, France - The most anticipated film this year at the Cannes film festival, Sicko, is a documentary exposing the state of American healthcare by filmmaker Michael Moore.

Sicko focuses on the pharmaceutical giants, and particularly on health insurers and the scams they run with full knowledge of the Bush administration.

Movie mogul Harvey Weinstein now says the US government is attempting to impound the negative.

Weinstein said yesterday to avoid the film's confiscation "we had to fly the movie to another country."

"Let the secret service find that out - though this is the same country that thought there were weapons of mass destruction, so they'll never find it."

Moore upsets Bush

Moore upset the Bush administration when he travelled to Cuba with a group of emergency workers from New York's Ground Zero to see whether they would receive better care under the Castro regime than they had under George Bush.

Moore applied for permission to travel in October 2006, but his application was ignored by the Bush administration. So he went anyway.

Moore says the government is ignoring the health care problem "It's important to have a safety net and free universal health care. In America, unfortunately, we're more focused on what's in it for me. It's every man for himself. If you're sick and have lost a job, it's not my problem. Don't bother me."
