Michael Moore is a Heck of a Guy

I used to despise Michael Moore. I think his movies about Columbine and 9/11 are distortions and outright lies but his newest movie Sicko might be different. I think it is probably full of distortions and I have no use for Moore’s artistic style but I am heartened by what Moore himself is doing. Michael Moor is going to donate all of the money generated from the sale of Sicko to provide health insurance for as many uninsured people as he can. Evidently, Moore was touched by the American Idol gives back program that raised millions of dollars for the poor in Africa and the US. Moore believes he can start his own movement and this film is the perfect vehicle to do it.

Inside sources indicate that Moore will eat the production costs and will use every cent of money from the sale and distribution of his movie to ensure that as many uninsured as possible have health care. Moore still believes that Cuba’s system is superior to ours but believes that if he produces a film that points out perceived problems in the health care industry and then does nothing about it he will be a hypocrite, something he does not want to be.

Sources also say that this is not a ploy to get the US to drop its investigation of his potentially illegal trip to Cuba. Evidently, Micheal is willing to let the chips fall where they may on this issue so long as he can get insurance for as many people as possible.

Skeptics doubt Moore has good intentions and believe he is only stroking his own narcissistic ego but others familiar with the producer say he truly believes in this cause. One source even said that Moore was going to donate 1 million dollars of his own money to the insurance cause. Rumors that Moore was trying to take the wind out of American Idol’s sails by becoming a one man social cause are unfounded, insiders say.

This is nice of him. Maybe if he can use some of that money to send ILLEGALS home there will be even less of a burden on the health care system and my premiums will go down.
