It won't be, because every American network is owned by the oligarchs who can't stand the idea of letting Americans see the truth about their own country.
Hey it costs money to Watch It! I had rather give money to someone who freely distributes their stuff. This guy is a billionaire himself, does Michael Moore Billionaire allow Open Source Viewing of his films. HELL NO.
Honestly, if I could speak Spanish (thanks Public Education!), I’d consider emigrating. Yes, Cuba undoubtedly has its problems, but at least they aren’t causing everyone else’s.
Jim Battersbee And 100% literacy. Their 1961 literacy campaign was “In the Spirit of Wandering Teachers”. Can we even begin to imagine what they could have accomplished if there was no imposed embargo for the last 60 years !!! And the capitalist devil behemoth here in the US can’t even give us clean water, let alone health care and education for all ☮️💚
Hey Michael: I lent my dvd copy of "Sicko" to at least 4 or 5 Republican friends. I told them "Even if you don't like Michael Moore (no offense, I love ya), I think you will love this. Guess what? Everyone of those guys and gals gave it back to me with the same response. They liked it, if not loved it. Good work, "comrade". ;) LOL
GellurudGallery- I like Micheal Moore very much but he completely mis-represented the medical system in Cuba in this documentary .. Cuba's healthcare system is like George Orwell's "Animal Farm." All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. The result is a two-tiered system where the foreign guests and Cuban insiders like Castro and his cronies experience fine care and the have-nots, everyone else have trouble finding aspirin and have to bring everything with them, because the hospital provides NOTHING!!!! Pillows, sheets, medicine EVERYTHING!!! How can they say they have a great medical system in Cuba when we’ve been sending BANDAIDS to family for 40 years! Ask any Cuban in Miami what they send their families in Cuba the most of?? I can answer that for you... Basic Medicine!! Here you go take a look!!! These are hospitals in Cuba for the people and for the tourist... Look at it!!!!! The documentary was great until the end when Cuba came into the picture, it’s a lie! The regular people of Cuba don’t get that kind of care!! As for Bernie I don’t like him after researching his long history of communist support.. m.th-cam.com/video/lD-mOxwpr0U/w-d-xo.html
charcolew- I’M CUBAN!! So u can’t bullshit me !!! This is very personal, we had to flee the communist regime u say takes such good care of people!! The entire thing is COMPLETE BULLSHIT!! Free medical killed my grandmother on a visit to Cuba!!! She caught the flu landed in a free hospital for the people, my mother got her the hell outta there and she died a week later in a hospital in Miami.. She caught a very deadly contagious virus that the doctors said was uncommon and only seen when in contact with unsanitary conditions. She also had to get the medical supplies here in Miami and send it to the doctors in Cuba so my grandfather could get a simple operation!! Free??? My ass free!! I’m Cuban and I’ve lived the consequences of this shit!!! Bernie still says that CUBAN health care system is great!! STILL! I like to see if he would stay in the hospital grandma stayed in instead of the one he probably visited, that is for the tourist. Yes!!! There are hospitals for the tourist..The one you have to PAY for!! . I know this because my piece of shit cousin pulled abuela out of that hospital kept the 2 grand my mother put in my grandmother’s purse, kept the money and put her in the “ FREE “ hospital for the people and told my mother they used the money for FOOD!! I love how wishful thinkers have praised the Cuban health system...But the reality is they don’t know shit!! Landing in a Cuban hospital for the people is a human HELL HOLE !!! It’s a fcking nightmare and it killed my grandmother!!! U my dear are COMPLETELY CLUELESS TO THE REALITY OF COMMUNISM and BERNIE DEFENDS IT!! Bernie Sanders is a communist!!! Look at his history!!! Here let me help u !! Here are 10 reasons why I completely changed my mind about Bernie Sanders !! Take a look!! 1-At the University of Chicago, Mr. Sanders was a member of the Young People’s Socialist League. In 1963, he lived in Israel at Kibbutz Sha’ar Ha’amakim (KSH), which was co-founded by Aharon Cohen, who was arrested for spying for the Soviet Union in the 1950s. 2-According to Discoverthenetworks.org, “the founders of KSH referred to Joseph Stalin as the ‘Sun of the Nations,’ and a red flag was flown at outdoor events held at the kibbutz. Sanders stayed at KSH as a guest of the Zionist-Marxist youth movement Hashomer Hatzair (HH), which pledged its allegiance to the Soviet Union.” 3- In 1971, Mr. Sanders joined the Liberty Union Party (LUP), which called for a government takeover of all U.S. banks and private utility companies. In the mid-1970s, Mr. Sanders headed the American People’s History Society, which journalist Paul Sperry describes as “an organ for Marxist propaganda.” 4-As mayor of Burlington, Vermont, in the 1980s, Mr. Sanders hung a Soviet flag in his office in honor of Burlington’s Soviet sister city, Yaroslavl, where he honeymooned in 1988 with his second wife, Jane O’Meara Sanders. -Mr. Sanders set price controls, raised taxes and placed restrictions on the rights of landlords. He named Burlington’s softball team the “People’s Republic of Burlington.” Its minor league baseball team the “Vermont Reds” was a Cincinnati Reds affiliate, so that was just a propitious development for Bernie. 5-In 1980, he backed for president Socialist Workers Party candidate Andrew Pulley, a Marxist who called for a government takeover of America’s energy industry. 6-In 1985, Mayor Sanders went to Nicaragua to celebrate the sixth anniversary of Daniel Ortega’s communist Sandinista regime and speak at an anti-American rally. He arranged for Burlington and Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua, to be sister cities 7-When Ortega orchestrated mass arrests of critics and shut down opposition media, Mr. Sanders refused to condemn him, later saying the crackdown “makes sense to me.” He now supports Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, who has turned that once-prosperous country into a communist nightmare. 8-In 1989, Mr. Sanders addressed the U.S. Peace Council, a Communist Party USA front whose members were committed, according to the FBI, to advancing “the triumph of Soviet power in the U.S.” 9-In 2011, Mr. Sanders was the first U.S. senator to support the violent Occupy Wall Street movement and opined: “These days, the American dream is more apt to be realized in South America, in places such as Ecuador, Venezuela and Argentina, where incomes are actually more equal today than they are in the land of Horatio Alger. Who’s the banana republic now?” 10-When Castro introduce ration cards (meat, 2 ounces daily), and food consumption per person crashed to levels not seen since the 1800s. People were starving to death! During this period of widespread hunger, Bernie Sanders was peddling the myth that hunger was NON-EXISTING in Cuba!!! In 1989, he published a newspaper column claiming that Fidel Castro’s Cuba had “NO HUNGER , is educating all of its children and is providing high quality, free health care.” “The revolution (in Cuba) is far deeper and more profound than I had understood it to be"- Bernie Sanders The man has a LONG HISTORY of sympathizing with communist regimes and was a member of many communist organizations.. Bernie Sanders is a communist !!!
@@Navy35 I think it's got something to do with building a small Cuba in the place they have settled. There's loads of small countries built all over the USA. What about Germantown ? Lots of Germans there. Many many China Towns, Little Italy etc.. Great way of becoming a melting pot eventually ? Who said Guantanamo Prison was gone ?
michel diaz nocetti you’re ignorant if you can’t see the sarcasm in my comment! The government controls everything in Cuba but there are people willing to give up liberty for free stuff. Moore is the real con man but some people still believe his lies
I am not a fan of the police, but that said, every single one of those first responders should have been set for life. Homes and healthcare paid, they and their spouses exempt from property tax for life, and their children’s education guaranteed. For once I might feel like my tax dollars were going to something good and fair and right, instead of war and death.
Yea, specially since your own government did 911. Before you go on and say I'm a conspiracy theorist. Let me tell you that back in 1962 your government had already drafted a plan to hijack passenger planes and crash them into buildings on american soil and blame it on the Cubans. So you see, they are not only capable of doing such atrocity but are also willing to do it to advance their agenda.
@@juangonzales3059 I'm sure the CIA are capable of anything but on one crucial point your theory falls down. If they wanted to create a false flag attack to justify invading Iraq, why were the vast majority of the hyjackers from Saudi Arabia? More likely the attack was used to justify whatever they wanted it to justify. My personal feeling is the security services are not actually that smart when it comes to false flag operations of this kind and rarely get away with it... Could they have been aware of this attack and allowed it to go ahead for their own political purposes? Thats certainly possible...
@@chrismalcomson7640 first off they didn't go straight to Iraq, if you remember correctly. The Iraq, thing was a completely different false flag remember? "Weapons of mass destruction " of course there were none. In regard to most of the hijackers being Saudis. Even though most of the hijackers were Saudi, the authorities and the media couldn't stress enough from the beginning that the attacks were perpetrated by the taliban, and led by osama even though most of the hijackers were Saudis, so yea that is strange. Also, remember the Israelis?
and those hypocrites during last night's debate saying "Bernie can't afford it! Afford what? Not to take care of the vets and the people? Someone has their priorities backwards!!! Wake up America!
Stephane Guillot so American government has trillions to give to Pentagon but none for health care, social care and education of Americans. Wow! America is really a first world country!
@@jorgejr7258 yep, and all we need is a godless society in which everything is free. We just need to adore the jefe, and not worry about any silly two-party system that sows dissent, and anyone who doesn't agree that they are in paradise needs to be canceled, by any means necessary Communism just needs a few more dozen chances to finally work is all. Just send Cuba money, Russian. Collude with Cuba forever. Its all free.
I commented earlier when I had just watched the first few minutes of Michael Moore gathering the first responders from the 911 attack who are STILL not getting the treatment they so deserve in the US. I commented on this is why I love Michael Moore. He is willing to say things ppl are thinking but too afraid to say out loud. I went back and watched the whole thing and sobbed. My heart broke seeing this sick first responders are and unable to afford the proper care in the richest country in the world....USA. Then I sobbed at the end seeing the smiles on their faces as they each received the respect of the Cuban fire fighters and got the treatment for free the needed so badly. Come on ppl if Cuba can treat their ppl with pennies. We most definitely can do better in our country. No one should be rationing out there insulin for their diabetes in the US! And for God sake NO first responder should EVER have to beg for proper medical care! We can do better Y'all! It's not me it's us! We all can make a difference if we stand together. So let's get out there and vote and get not just Trump the Dictator and Chief out of the White House but lets flip this Senate too! Vote Blue all the way!
Sadest thing: Cuba is not even that developed... Makes you really thinking about those categories. Btw: Taiwanese healthcare system is insanely powerful and cheap.
@skankhunt42 i call bs on your story. If you're an emergency you get to go first, past people who have headache or other things. It's free at the point of service and it works
The Cuban people have been under attack from U.S. oligarchs for decades. I have utter respect for the Cuban people for resisting them despite all the costs.
@@edwinamendelssohn5129 youre literally dirt poor and is siding with american corporate oligarchs who will be happy to melt your skin and bones for a few cents they can pocket. have shame!
Never a single US soldier set foot on Cuban soil after 1959. The only real enemy is the castrocommunist regime that cut all liberties and rights of prosperity to the Cuban people.
Cuba is broke. Great people, but a poor poor poor county. EQUALLY POOR LIKE MICHAEL MOORE wants it. They LIED about AIRQUALITY and all the ASPESTOS AND POISONS IN THE AIR!! PURPOSELY LIED!!
The NHS in the UK or even Canada is absolutely no different, if anything its worse. They can't even diagnose a common cold. As the saying go's "if you don't have the flue, they haven't got a clue".

its a hysterical pro-Russia diatribe, a Commie propaganda film by a Commie millionaire who is every bit as fat and ugly as Trump who tells mindless idiots how to live while doing the opposite
@@edsnotgod its not comminist, not even close all major economic countries of the world have socialized medical systems, communism is ownership by workers not investors. The closest thing to that is the mondragon coops. in the medical field the closest thing to it is probably japan where the hospitals are owned by the doctors.
@@MrIzzyDizzyno, the Communist proletariat doesn't "own" anything, it relinquishes all property to be taken care of by the welfare state, which alone decides if you need running water, and how much. If one person can bathe with 5 gallons of water then everyone else can, too.
@@edsnotgod modern marxism is more fluid and draws on ownership of the means of production by the workers, see richard wolff, where he shows almost all the major marxist ideas are checked off by organizations such as mondragon. As for the ludicrous implication of a "state " rationing or providing less, you really have to force it to be that way. as it naturally has the advantage of not needing a profit. Applying that notion to medical care, it is pure nonsense, every major country on earth has state insurance or state, owned medical systems out right, our system - capitalism , ownership by private companies and individuals, has worse outcomes at twice the cost , while still not serving everyone. to insinuate that the state provides less is just a lie. the exact opposite is verifiably true . Further in the world at large over every economy you find that the more capitalistic and less socialistic an economy the poorer it is, the 100 poorest countries on earth have a whole lot of capitalism and virtually no socialism. the poorest countries with significant socialism are n korea , cuba and venezuela, none are in the 100 poorest and all are dealing with economic sanctions imposed on them,. all of the wealthy world has a mixed system. And all of them have socialized medicine except us.
The actual cost for the state is of course more than that. Probably at least $5 because of foreign resources needed in the production. In communist countries, prices for essentials are set so as to hit the sweet spot where people can afford them but don't waste them. This is where the taxes and the profits from luxury goods go. For comparison: I just googled the price of asthma inhalers in German online pharmacies. The first I found was a 3-pack(!) of Budesonid inhalers for about $70. Although almost everyone here pays at most $7 with a prescription.
My Inheler cost me $250 in NYC FROM MY POCKET.....WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, MEDICATIONS ON EUROPE IS COVER FROM THE SOCIALIST MEDICAL COVERAGE. NOT COMPARING EU TO USA.
@@JulieN-v4r I am talking about the market prices that you pay in Germany when you are uninsured or for some reason choose not to use your insurance. E.g., if you send me your prescription, I can use it to buy inhalers for you for that price and send them to you in the US. Which is perfectly legal from the German point of view, although the manufacturers probably try to prevent it through contract law somehow and corrupt US politicians have made it illegal to import prescription drugs in this way in order to protect the insane profit margins of the pharmaceutical industry in the US. Otherwise everyone would just order their non-urgent drugs in Canada. Bernie Sanders is planning to make this legal on day 1 of his presidency through an executive action. $70 is also the price that those German residents who have private health insurance pay before being reimbursed in full by their insurers. Unlike in some other European countries, medicine prices in Germany are defined only by the manufacturers. What you probably have in mind when talking about socialism is this: Most German residents have statutory health insurance and pay income-based premiums for that. Like all prescription drugs, they get these particular inhalers free if they are under 18 or poor. They pay about $7 for this particular 3-pack of inhalers as an out-of pocket contribution (similar to a copay, but limited to 10 Euros or 10% of the price of the package of medication, whichever is higher; the sum of all out-of-pocket contributions in a calendar year is limited to 2% of the patient's income).
in brazil surgeries are free, medical exams and very expensive remedies for treatments. I had an accident that injured my spine, I had surgery that had a plaque on my spine, it was all free ... I also got a free wheelchair, medicines and orders. in Brazil there is a unique health system (SUS), for everyone.
This film broke my heart. To see so many fellow Americans suffering and then to see how the rest of the developed world treats their citizens and employees with respect and all their benefits which seemed luxurious. I felt like the blindfolds were removed or like having a real life of dignity after being in captivity for 50 years.
I was in Cuba actually on 9/11 and I watched the live news on TV from the hotel in Hoguin - Cuba was actually the first country to offer assistance to USA. It is a wonderful country in every way and unless you have been you can not appreciate how you have been lied to. The economic sanctions and the treatment they get internationally is totally unjustifiable. Even back then I met health tourists staying at the hotel from USA - I was shocked I never imagined that someone would go to Cuba for health care but once you see the places you realise its not like what you see on cnn
That's because you only saw the tourists places. HUGE difference. The hotels and hospitals for the tourists and the government elite are completely different than the ones for the locals. The locals aren't even allowed in the fancy hotels and hospitals. They have to use the "regular" hospitals which are living nightmares. Going to Cuba as a tourist will NOT show you the truth - quite the opposite. Come to Miami and talk to the hundred of thousands of Cubans who risked their lives by fleeing the island on rafts made out of garbage. Go into social media and look for the real footage shot by locals (hidden from the oppressive authorities, of course) of the deplorable conditions inside the hospitals. They look like stuff out of horror movies. The truth is coming out now thanks to social media and cell phones finally spreading throughout the island.
This is my favorite of Moore's movies, as it shows Americans what they almost never see: how other countries do things. And I too have recommended "Sicko" to many people, and they have all been amazed; many have cried to see the brutal reality of what they only knew intellectually about the US non-system.
@ Many of us in the US are disgusted with everything that is happening here. To me, it seems like there's no end in sight. So many Americans are naive, opinionated, and disgustingly uneducated. It's difficult to initiate meaningful change with such an electorate. If my vote doesn't count perhaps I could vote with my feet.
And they sent delegates to UK in the 60s and 70s to research the NHS we had then. The one we have allowed evey govt for 40 years to dismantle by underhand methods. Run a service into the ground so you can sell it off.
I do think the Cubans have big hearts, so beautiful to watch. But the real situation is that the American government knows that we could be better and doesn’t want to. In any two instances there are opposites, in this one the super rich want to stay rich and you can’t have rich without poor. That’s the bottom line.
@@bananabanana1932 Stockholm syndrome? But seriousy, you know it's a very coplex situation : Cuba never was given a real fighting chance, with the embargo. It's a disgrace what the US has done to that country.
Every time I watch this movie, the compassion of the Cuban doctors and firefighters brings tears of hope that these brave first responders will heal, and one day, everyone will be treated with dignity and respect. 💜💜💜
It is all a LIE... Cuban Healthcare is a fraud and a disaster. I am Cuban and I strongly advise against Socialism and Communism, but I get it, you have to experience in person to learn the hard way. Good luck.....
I watched this documentary with tears in my eyes because I come from a country that has what some people call socialised medicine. England has had socialised medicine since 1947, and I have even worked in the healthcare , and even the poor are treated with respect and dignity, no different from dealing with the rich. If you’re going to vote for anything in the coming months please think of your health, because one man is offering you the chance to live longer without the worry of excess pricing. Which is Bernie The rest are just there to get the name in lights. Those are your choices life or politics.
My mom a middle aged conservative Canadian loves going to Cuba and praises Cuba’s literacy and medical programs and the fact that there are no homeless people or thousands of people out of jobs on the streets like in almost all Latin American countries (even the “successful” ones) She praises the fact that the government makes sure that if you want to work you can, that the old, the sick, disabled, and children are cared for and housed. She doesn’t think Cuba is some utopia but legitimately compares it to other countries in the region she has also been to, she understands it has an authoritarian streak but in the context of 60 years of terrorism and attack by the colossus of the North and with a policy of at least cordial neutrality with its northern neighbour (not partnership as we have with Saudi Arabia, and any number of far more brutal authoritarian government like Modi in India, Erdogan, the Egyptian military junta, etc, etc) that there is a good possibility that the society could open up. The fact that Bernie is being blasted for praising a basic fact contextually understood everywhere else in the world is a symptom of the fact that some people are still dealing with the trauma of 80 years of red scare propaganda and the opportunistic oppo smears of a definitely biased corporate media establishment.
Soooo...Youre socialists then. That is socialism at work. Literally. Its a free market where the people working own the companies and healthcare is public and not private like its private in the USA.
💖 Cuba: Doctors never turn away sick people, even if they cannot pay. 🤑 GOP & DNC: Who is going to pay for M4A? 🙌 Bernie: Fight for someone you don''t know.
Mira Ivas they never ask how you’re going to pay for their foreign endless wars, going to pay for subsidies to the fossil fuel industry, bailouts and handouts to Wall Street and on and on.
Countries are made of people not their leadership. This is how cubans treat Americans. Maybe Americans should reflect on their behavior. Bernie Sanders will always tell the truth even when America isn't ready to hear it yet. That's how he guides us ever forward to a more compassionate world.
Hi Michael, Your country has serious problems. I am struggling to come to grips with the price differentials in medical costs that you have shown. Doesn,t ANYONE CARE ABOUT ANYONE ANY MORE in this world? Federal politicians should feel ashamed to watch this. Thanks mate from Aussie
Michael...thank you for this...I am a healthcare worker and know how hard the job is, but I also know how dedicated we ALL are...I cry for the hero's of 911...for it seems they have been thrown aside....thank you to Cuba for treating our heroes with love and compassion, and with expertise...this is a wonderful video...and thank you for caring Michael Moore...
Watching this with tears running down my face the whole time 😭 They call Bernie a Communist when he points out that Fidel did some great things. Well if agreeing makes me a Communist as well so be it. I'd rather be a Communist than a Republican posing as a Democrat
@@ratulxy ah you can find cheaper. I mean meds and doctors shouldn't be free. That's why doctors in Cuba are poor and it's why there pharmacies are empty
@@eb9172 I was quoting you the cheapest one I could find. Cuban shelves are empty because of numerous embargoes on the country. Besides I don't get the link between non profit HealthCare and non availability of drugs. UK's NHS works fine, people don't pay a dime at the point of use yet their shelves aren't empty.
This was the best part of the movie for me. My husband is from Cuba and they fled to this country when he was 8. Cuba has some of the BEST healthcare with R&D being a big part of it, like WE used to do in this country. Thank you Michael for these films. You put the spotlight right where it needs to be. Keep going my friend!
👵 I remember seing this in "Sicko" and thinking, "This is a dream man I'd propose to on sight!" 😉 I've always loved MM's filmmaking, but this had me in tears. Here is someone who makes a change, and makes the difference. 🙏 God bless you, Michael Moore.
Make sure you tell Americans when they bring up BS about Fidel or how Rich Cubans feel about him just tell them how USAGov/CIA is responsible for half the worlds Refugees and murdered 20-30Million Humans Worldwide-UN Report..
Hi Michael. Hoping you read this. I have been following you for many years (just another one). I'm portuguese, not form the USA. And I'm not a hacker or a contributor to anyone's campaign. ( I wouldn't mind contributing for Bernie though if it was legal :) ). Just want to say thank you for all that you have done to awake the american public from all the BS they have been swallowing for decades. I hope in 2020 the majority of american people are finally sufficiently informed to understand that they have been conned for years: on health -personal and public - the story of Flint makes me so sick -on public education, on minimum wages, on paid vacations and maternity leave, on wars for profit (and not american security), on firearms, on racial profiling and the business run on privatisation of jails, on social security, on climate change. We need USA to help us all make some dramatic changes in the world! It can not be done without USA on board and even with all aboard the path is dire. #BernieforPOTUS
Fantastic! Michael, This doc should be shown around all of America and Bernie should be showing this in his ads on TV. I love Cuba and especially th e people, I am from Montreal and I'd swear half of this city has gone to Cuba and all love it there. America has such terrible so called greedy leaders and they do not offer open arms to receive people they are so greedy and self absorbed, You must change the system starting with electing Bernie and AOC AND THE PREST F TE PROGRESSIVES
Im loving watching the revolution. Feeling the Bern in the UK. We blew our chance with Corbyn but you are leading the way. #Bernie2020. P.S. Look out for backstabbers.
As a carpenter from Chicago I know what in a building built at the time they were built we no longer use those products in Chicago so it’s a very true yes they are sick a deserving of financial and medical aid
Michael More you are a huge heart. This is such a touching clip and the hope that it gave when I went to see your film years ago matters more now than ever!!!!
They are doing worse, probably u can watch the video on the victims of US nuclear bomb tests on the Marshalls island. These are crimes the UN should be investigating n holding us responsible.
I'm here to break your 1,000 comments .......... really I'm here to tell you, you get me every time. This hit me hard. Don't stop getting to the truth, the honest way. Thank You!
I think most people who live in civilised societies (free health care) find it hard to understand how Americans have allowed things to come to this. A country that cares so little for the most vulnerable amongst its citizens is not a place I would want to live. I hope Bernie gets in because America deserves better - compassion is a strength not a weakness.
Baa Baa Bathsheba Just a little remark: "free" is not actually a good word for this. Of course, health care costs something. The question is, how are costs covered. And in civilised states, there is a form of insurance that covers everybody's costs. Usually people pay for this insurance proportionally to their income, so rich people pay more, poor people pay less, but quality of service is (ideally) equal. People without income (for a reason) get their insurance fees covered in some way by government.
I read in the comments about ppl crying watching this & I thought, " Not me. I'm a hardass." Nope now I'm sitting here with my tissues crying like a baby. Thank you Michael Moore for bringing us this story about our supposed enemies. I'm 61. I thought surely we were past hate, prejudice & bigotry but these last 4-5 years have showed how wrong I was. But I still believe in goodness & love & now I'm pretty sire i know how to find it. Thanks again. Blessings to all especially to the kind Cuban ppl who helped some of my fellow Americans.
It's so perfect that you posted this clip right now Michael. Thank you! I'm not American, but I hope with all my heart that Bernie Sanders wins in November. #Bernie2020 #NotMeUs
How many of these people were wiped out by Covid? I can't imagine. And yet there's still people who won't wear masks to protect their neighbour's and people like these selfless heros.
We in Puerto Rico need desperately our own Fidel Castro so we can kick out Imperialist USA and Finally get liberated and get Independence so we can rebuild our way and we can be a Democratic Socialist Island🇵🇷🇨🇺🇵🇷🇨🇺. Cuba is poorer than USA yet they can give their ppl free and better quality Healthcare. Let that sink in
Yes, solidarity from Oregon! Puertorriqueños deserve to determine their own future, no more imperialist meddling. If they agree on becoming an independent nation, the US should do everything they ask of us to support a smooth transition. In a just world, that's how it would work. Puerto Rico understands their own needs best, and should be treated that way, with respect and dignity. Peace and blessings to you and your family, and to your beautiful jewel of an island. ❤️
stripymccatpuss what part of "you see someone in need, you help them" don't you get? And please if you think calling people you disagree with "commies" is going to win arguments, you will sadly find yourself mistaken.
stripymccatpuss I feel for you. There’s no way you’re human living up to his potential. If you don’t feel shameful trolling videos exemplifying human compassion then you are a severely fractured human and I extend my love and hope that you recover.
Mike outdid himself. What a tear jerker....a flood...as we recognize our Caring Cuban Famila we have misaligned for decades, and as they teach us maybe healthcare is both a right and easily affordable.
I started watching this as just another (very good) funny Michael More film but as it progresses, it got so touching and personally heartfelt, I was moved to tears.
This would never have happened in the other wealthy nations that guarantee healthcare as a human right. Only in the Corporate States of America is this allowed to take place. Don't think we need a revolution ?
That's what happens when you let corporations, money and greed run rampant in politics. Those same corporations create and pass their own laws. Take the money out of politics and take the money out of healthcare.
The last of Michaels movies where you could say he was on the ball about nearly everything. Sicko is one of his best and deserves a rewatch or watch if you haven't seen it before.
If Cuba is doing this you better know DAMNED WELL that Bernie Sanders will get this done in the United States! Don't listen to naysayers anymore! BERNIE CARES! 2020
I know you catch a lot of crap here in the states, but you sir are a true American Hero. Hope this little message lifts you up just a little as I know you have done for the people who you fight for.
Has me in tears to see the finest example of human beings treated like this yet given immediate medical help from a poor country which the US embargoed to ruin their economy.
My god, it's so good to revisit these incredible MM docs! Easy to forget, after all these years, just how important this work is. Just rewatched the “Fahrenheit 9/11” stream for the 20th anniversary. Kinda choked up with those emotions again. Everybody should rewatch these docs every few years, just as a reminder. It's ok to love your country AND critique it, especially if you want to see it be better.
This should be broadcast live primetime on every major tv network.
jp trout yes yes yes!
Doesn’t fit the narrative. Cuba is literally hell on earth run by Satan in the corporate media’s view.
It SHOULD be, but it isn't, and won't be, without a major REVOLUTION
It won't be, because every American network is owned by the oligarchs who can't stand the idea of letting Americans see the truth about their own country.

Of course, they should. Quite pathetic politicians literally use them at the time, but really don't give a damn about them.

Well done! So they're voting for Bernie?
ttystikk rocks no idea.. I live in a different town now.
GellurudGallery- I like Micheal Moore very much but he completely mis-represented the medical system in Cuba in this documentary ..
Cuba's healthcare system is like George Orwell's "Animal Farm." All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. The result is a two-tiered system where the foreign guests and Cuban insiders like Castro and his cronies experience fine care and the have-nots, everyone else have trouble finding aspirin and have to bring everything with them, because the hospital provides NOTHING!!!! Pillows, sheets, medicine EVERYTHING!!! How can they say they have a great medical system in Cuba when we’ve been sending BANDAIDS to family for 40 years! Ask any Cuban in Miami what they send their families in Cuba the most of?? I can answer that for you... Basic Medicine!!
Here you go take a look!!! These are hospitals in Cuba for the people and for the tourist... Look at it!!!!! The documentary was great until the end when Cuba came into the picture, it’s a lie! The regular people of Cuba don’t get that kind of care!! As for Bernie I don’t like him after researching his long history of communist support..

Free medical killed my grandmother on a visit to Cuba!!! She caught the flu landed in a free hospital for the people, my mother got her the hell outta there and she died a week later in a hospital in Miami.. She caught a very deadly contagious virus that the doctors said was uncommon and only seen when in contact with unsanitary conditions. She also had to get the medical supplies here in Miami and send it to the doctors in Cuba so my grandfather could get a simple operation!!
Free??? My ass free!! I’m Cuban and I’ve lived the consequences of this shit!!!

Yes!!! There are hospitals for the tourist..The one you have to PAY for!! .

It’s a fcking nightmare and it killed my grandmother!!! U my dear are COMPLETELY CLUELESS TO THE REALITY OF COMMUNISM and BERNIE DEFENDS IT!!
Bernie Sanders is a communist!!! Look at his history!!! Here let me help u !! Here are 10 reasons why I completely changed my mind about Bernie Sanders !! Take a look!!
1-At the University of Chicago, Mr. Sanders was a member of the Young People’s Socialist League. In 1963, he lived in Israel at Kibbutz Sha’ar Ha’amakim (KSH), which was co-founded by Aharon Cohen, who was arrested for spying for the Soviet Union in the 1950s.
2-According to Discoverthenetworks.org, “the founders of KSH referred to Joseph Stalin as the ‘Sun of the Nations,’ and a red flag was flown at outdoor events held at the kibbutz. Sanders stayed at KSH as a guest of the Zionist-Marxist youth movement Hashomer Hatzair (HH), which pledged its allegiance to the Soviet Union.”
3- In 1971, Mr. Sanders joined the Liberty Union Party (LUP), which called for a government takeover of all U.S. banks and private utility companies. In the mid-1970s, Mr. Sanders headed the American People’s History Society, which journalist Paul Sperry describes as “an organ for Marxist propaganda.”
4-As mayor of Burlington, Vermont, in the 1980s, Mr. Sanders hung a Soviet flag in his office in honor of Burlington’s Soviet sister city, Yaroslavl, where he honeymooned in 1988 with his second wife, Jane O’Meara Sanders.
-Mr. Sanders set price controls, raised taxes and placed restrictions on the rights of landlords. He named Burlington’s softball team the “People’s Republic of Burlington.” Its minor league baseball team the “Vermont Reds” was a Cincinnati Reds affiliate, so that was just a propitious development for Bernie.
5-In 1980, he backed for president Socialist Workers Party candidate Andrew Pulley, a Marxist who called for a government takeover of America’s energy industry.
6-In 1985, Mayor Sanders went to Nicaragua to celebrate the sixth anniversary of Daniel Ortega’s communist Sandinista regime and speak at an anti-American rally. He arranged for Burlington and Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua, to be sister cities
7-When Ortega orchestrated mass arrests of critics and shut down opposition media, Mr. Sanders refused to condemn him, later saying the crackdown “makes sense to me.” He now supports Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, who has turned that once-prosperous country into a communist nightmare.
8-In 1989, Mr. Sanders addressed the U.S. Peace Council, a Communist Party USA front whose members were committed, according to the FBI, to advancing “the triumph of Soviet power in the U.S.”
9-In 2011, Mr. Sanders was the first U.S. senator to support the violent Occupy Wall Street movement and opined: “These days, the American dream is more apt to be realized in South America, in places such as Ecuador, Venezuela and Argentina, where incomes are actually more equal today than they are in the land of Horatio Alger. Who’s the banana republic now?”
10-When Castro introduce ration cards (meat, 2 ounces daily), and food consumption per person crashed to levels not seen since the 1800s. People were starving to death! During this period of widespread hunger, Bernie Sanders was peddling the myth that hunger was NON-EXISTING in Cuba!!! In 1989, he published a newspaper column claiming that Fidel Castro’s Cuba had “NO HUNGER , is educating all of its children and is providing high quality, free health care.”
“The revolution (in Cuba) is far deeper and more profound than I had understood it to be"- Bernie Sanders
The man has a LONG HISTORY of sympathizing with communist regimes and was a member of many communist organizations..
Bernie Sanders is a communist !!!

Yea, specially since your own government did 911. Before you go on and say I'm a conspiracy theorist. Let me tell you that back in 1962 your government had already drafted a plan to hijack passenger planes and crash them into buildings on american soil and blame it on the Cubans. So you see, they are not only capable of doing such atrocity but are also willing to do it to advance their agenda.
@@juangonzales3059 I'm sure the CIA are capable of anything but on one crucial point your theory falls down. If they wanted to create a false flag attack to justify invading Iraq, why were the vast majority of the hyjackers from Saudi Arabia? More likely the attack was used to justify whatever they wanted it to justify. My personal feeling is the security services are not actually that smart when it comes to false flag operations of this kind and rarely get away with it... Could they have been aware of this attack and allowed it to go ahead for their own political purposes? Thats certainly possible...
@@chrismalcomson7640 first off they didn't go straight to Iraq, if you remember correctly. The Iraq, thing was a completely different false flag remember? "Weapons of mass destruction " of course there were none. In regard to most of the hijackers being Saudis. Even though most of the hijackers were Saudi, the authorities and the media couldn't stress enough from the beginning that the attacks were perpetrated by the taliban, and led by osama even though most of the hijackers were Saudis, so yea that is strange. Also, remember the Israelis?

I commented on this is why I love Michael Moore. He is willing to say things ppl are thinking but too afraid to say out loud. I went back and watched the whole thing and sobbed. My heart broke seeing this sick first responders are and unable to afford the proper care in the richest country in the world....USA.

@@edsnotgod its not comminist, not even close all major economic countries of the world have socialized medical systems, communism is ownership by workers not investors. The closest thing to that is the mondragon coops. in the medical field the closest thing to it is probably japan where the hospitals are owned by the doctors.
@@MrIzzyDizzyno, the Communist proletariat doesn't "own" anything, it relinquishes all property to be taken care of by the welfare state, which alone decides if you need running water, and how much. If one person can bathe with 5 gallons of water then everyone else can, too.
@@edsnotgod modern marxism is more fluid and draws on ownership of the means of production by the workers, see richard wolff, where he shows almost all the major marxist ideas are checked off by organizations such as mondragon.
As for the ludicrous implication of a "state " rationing or providing less, you really have to force it to be that way. as it naturally has the advantage of not needing a profit.
Applying that notion to medical care, it is pure nonsense, every major country on earth has state insurance or state, owned medical systems out right, our system - capitalism , ownership by private companies and individuals, has worse outcomes at twice the cost , while still not serving everyone. to insinuate that the state provides less is just a lie. the exact opposite is verifiably true
. Further in the world at large over every economy you find that the more capitalistic and less socialistic an economy the poorer it is, the 100 poorest countries on earth have a whole lot of capitalism and virtually no socialism. the poorest countries with significant socialism are n korea , cuba and venezuela, none are in the 100 poorest and all are dealing with economic sanctions
imposed on them,.
all of the wealthy world has a mixed system. And all of them have socialized medicine except us.
Well done Michael! ❤ from the EU.
I’m Crying....when she said the American cost of the inhaler verses .05 cent in Cuba. I felt every moment of the disparity...
The actual cost for the state is of course more than that. Probably at least $5 because of foreign resources needed in the production. In communist countries, prices for essentials are set so as to hit the sweet spot where people can afford them but don't waste them. This is where the taxes and the profits from luxury goods go.
For comparison: I just googled the price of asthma inhalers in German online pharmacies. The first I found was a 3-pack(!) of Budesonid inhalers for about $70. Although almost everyone here pays at most $7 with a prescription.
My Inheler cost me $250 in NYC FROM MY POCKET.....WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, MEDICATIONS ON EUROPE IS COVER FROM THE SOCIALIST MEDICAL COVERAGE. NOT COMPARING EU TO USA.
@@JulieN-v4r I am talking about the market prices that you pay in Germany when you are uninsured or for some reason choose not to use your insurance. E.g., if you send me your prescription, I can use it to buy inhalers for you for that price and send them to you in the US. Which is perfectly legal from the German point of view, although the manufacturers probably try to prevent it through contract law somehow and corrupt US politicians have made it illegal to import prescription drugs in this way in order to protect the insane profit margins of the pharmaceutical industry in the US. Otherwise everyone would just order their non-urgent drugs in Canada. Bernie Sanders is planning to make this legal on day 1 of his presidency through an executive action.
$70 is also the price that those German residents who have private health insurance pay before being reimbursed in full by their insurers.
Unlike in some other European countries, medicine prices in Germany are defined only by the manufacturers.
What you probably have in mind when talking about socialism is this: Most German residents have statutory health insurance and pay income-based premiums for that. Like all prescription drugs, they get these particular inhalers free if they are under 18 or poor. They pay about $7 for this particular 3-pack of inhalers as an out-of pocket contribution (similar to a copay, but limited to 10 Euros or 10% of the price of the package of medication, whichever is higher; the sum of all out-of-pocket contributions in a calendar year is limited to 2% of the patient's income).
in brazil surgeries are free, medical exams and very expensive remedies for treatments. I had an accident that injured my spine, I had surgery that had a plaque on my spine, it was all free ... I also got a free wheelchair, medicines and orders. in Brazil there is a unique health system (SUS), for everyone.
This film broke my heart. To see so many fellow Americans suffering and then to see how the rest of the developed world treats their citizens and employees with respect and all their benefits which seemed luxurious. I felt like the blindfolds were removed or like having a real life of dignity after being in captivity for 50 years.
Well Cuba is not even considered as a developed well my sister
I was in Cuba actually on 9/11 and I watched the live news on TV from the hotel in Hoguin - Cuba was actually the first country to offer assistance to USA. It is a wonderful country in every way and unless you have been you can not appreciate how you have been lied to. The economic sanctions and the treatment they get internationally is totally unjustifiable. Even back then I met health tourists staying at the hotel from USA - I was shocked I never imagined that someone would go to Cuba for health care but once you see the places you realise its not like what you see on cnn
That's because you only saw the tourists places. HUGE difference. The hotels and hospitals for the tourists and the government elite are completely different than the ones for the locals. The locals aren't even allowed in the fancy hotels and hospitals. They have to use the "regular" hospitals which are living nightmares. Going to Cuba as a tourist will NOT show you the truth - quite the opposite. Come to Miami and talk to the hundred of thousands of Cubans who risked their lives by fleeing the island on rafts made out of garbage. Go into social media and look for the real footage shot by locals (hidden from the oppressive authorities, of course) of the deplorable conditions inside the hospitals. They look like stuff out of horror movies. The truth is coming out now thanks to social media and cell phones finally spreading throughout the island.

England has had socialised medicine since 1947, and I have even worked in the healthcare , and even the poor are treated with respect and dignity, no different from dealing with the rich.

Which is Bernie The rest are just there to get the name in lights. Those are your choices life or politics.
Very timely Michael. Thank you. this is a movement of peace.
My mom a middle aged conservative Canadian loves going to Cuba and praises Cuba’s literacy and medical programs and the fact that there are no homeless people or thousands of people out of jobs on the streets like in almost all Latin American countries (even the “successful” ones) She praises the fact that the government makes sure that if you want to work you can, that the old, the sick, disabled, and children are cared for and housed. She doesn’t think Cuba is some utopia but legitimately compares it to other countries in the region she has also been to, she understands it has an authoritarian streak but in the context of 60 years of terrorism and attack by the colossus of the North and with a policy of at least cordial neutrality with its northern neighbour (not partnership as we have with Saudi Arabia, and any number of far more brutal authoritarian government like Modi in India, Erdogan, the Egyptian military junta, etc, etc) that there is a good possibility that the society could open up. The fact that Bernie is being blasted for praising a basic fact contextually understood everywhere else in the world is a symptom of the fact that some people are still dealing with the trauma of 80 years of red scare propaganda and the opportunistic oppo smears of a definitely biased corporate media establishment.
ROFL!!!
No tienes NI PUTA IDEA de lo que estás hablando...
Soooo...Youre socialists then. That is socialism at work. Literally. Its a free market where the people working own the companies and healthcare is public and not private like its private in the USA.

@@ratulxy Well then they don't have the best health care. What Cuba has is a tyranny, anything else is BS. Ambetter health insurance is reasonable.
This was the best part of the movie for me. My husband is from Cuba and they fled to this country when he was 8. Cuba has some of the BEST healthcare with R&D being a big part of it, like WE used to do in this country. Thank you Michael for these films. You put the spotlight right where it needs to be. Keep going my friend!
Fled? So it's not all that good over there?
It's so heartbreaking to see these people finally getting able the care they need and deserve.
Meanwhile, Americans run around with their “Never Forget” stickers and a lost look on their faces. Sad
👵 I remember seing this in "Sicko" and thinking, "This is a dream man I'd propose to on sight!" 😉
I've always loved MM's filmmaking, but this had me in tears.
Here is someone who makes a change, and makes the difference.
🙏 God bless you, Michael Moore.
John Stewart had to embarrass congress into help these people ...
So profound. I’d be curious to see how the first responders are today and if it shaped their political views.
I got choked up when the pharmacist gave her the name of a doctor and to ask for 2 prescriptions. 5 cents. My goodness.
Thank you Michael Moore for helping our heroes! Thank you to Cuba! Their generosity wont be forgotten
Make sure you tell Americans when they bring up BS about Fidel or how Rich Cubans feel about him just tell them how USAGov/CIA is responsible for half the worlds Refugees and murdered 20-30Million Humans Worldwide-UN Report..
Hi Michael. Hoping you read this. I have been following you for many years (just another one). I'm portuguese, not form the USA. And I'm not a hacker or a contributor to anyone's campaign. ( I wouldn't mind contributing for Bernie though if it was legal :) ). Just want to say thank you for all that you have done to awake the american public from all the BS they have been swallowing for decades. I hope in 2020 the majority of american people are finally sufficiently informed to understand that they have been conned for years: on health -personal and public - the story of Flint makes me so sick -on public education, on minimum wages, on paid vacations and maternity leave, on wars for profit (and not american security), on firearms, on racial profiling and the business run on privatisation of jails, on social security, on climate change. We need USA to help us all make some dramatic changes in the world! It can not be done without USA on board and even with all aboard the path is dire. #BernieforPOTUS
I am from Scandinavia and I agree.
Fantastic! Michael, This doc should be shown around all of America and Bernie should be showing this in his ads on TV. I love Cuba and especially th e people, I am from Montreal and I'd swear half of this city has gone to Cuba and all love it there. America has such terrible so called greedy leaders and they do not offer open arms to receive people they are so greedy and self absorbed, You must change the system starting with electing Bernie and AOC AND THE PREST F TE PROGRESSIVES
Im loving watching the revolution. Feeling the Bern in the UK. We blew our chance with Corbyn but you are leading the way. #Bernie2020.
P.S. Look out for backstabbers.
@@lauramartin5579 the Zionist destroyed Jeremy Corbyn
As a carpenter from Chicago I know what in a building built at the time they were built we no longer use those products in Chicago so it’s a very true yes they are sick a deserving of financial and medical aid
Michael More you are a huge heart. This is such a touching clip and the hope that it gave when I went to see your film years ago matters more now than ever!!!!
That's a hell of a thing. Thanks, Mike. You're a good man, taking care of the People. Imagine the society we could have if we ALL did that.
Thank you Michael, keep pushing and thank you for the work you're doing in support of Sanders.
Not allowing people to have good healthcare is it not the cruelest thing you can do to a society.
They are doing worse, probably u can watch the video on the victims of US nuclear bomb tests on the Marshalls island. These are crimes the UN should be investigating n holding us responsible.
5¢ VS 120$ (=12000¢)
that's a factor of 2400
Amazing...sad and expertly done. Bernie 2020
Thank you Michael for all you do! You are a true Patriot!!! ❤️
Still the most important film you ever made Mike. Solidarity from the UK.
I'm here to break your 1,000 comments .......... really I'm here to tell you, you get me every time. This hit me hard. Don't stop getting to the truth, the honest way. Thank You!
I think most people who live in civilised societies (free health care) find it hard to understand how Americans have allowed things to come to this. A country that cares so little for the most vulnerable amongst its citizens is not a place I would want to live. I hope Bernie gets in because America deserves better - compassion is a strength not a weakness.
Baa Baa Bathsheba Just a little remark: "free" is not actually a good word for this. Of course, health care costs something. The question is, how are costs covered. And in civilised states, there is a form of insurance that covers everybody's costs. Usually people pay for this insurance proportionally to their income, so rich people pay more, poor people pay less, but quality of service is (ideally) equal. People without income (for a reason) get their insurance fees covered in some way by government.
I’d gladly pay some extra tax, over the expensive for-profit insurance we have now, to get to see a dr without our copays and ridiculous deductibles.
I read in the comments about ppl crying watching this & I thought, " Not me. I'm a hardass." Nope now I'm sitting here with my tissues crying like a baby. Thank you Michael Moore for bringing us this story about our supposed enemies. I'm 61. I thought surely we were past hate, prejudice & bigotry but these last 4-5 years have showed how wrong I was. But I still believe in goodness & love & now I'm pretty sire i know how to find it. Thanks again. Blessings to all especially to the kind Cuban ppl who helped some of my fellow Americans.
One day, not caring for the American peoples’ health will be a matter of national security
It's so perfect that you posted this clip right now Michael. Thank you! I'm not American, but I hope with all my heart that Bernie Sanders wins in November. #Bernie2020 #NotMeUs
How many of these people were wiped out by Covid? I can't imagine. And yet there's still people who won't wear masks to protect their neighbour's and people like these selfless heros.
Probably his best movie.
Bernie 2020.
We in Puerto Rico need desperately our own Fidel Castro so we can kick out Imperialist USA and Finally get liberated and get Independence so we can rebuild our way and we can be a Democratic Socialist Island🇵🇷🇨🇺🇵🇷🇨🇺. Cuba is poorer than USA yet they can give their ppl free and better quality Healthcare. Let that sink in
Solidarity
Yes, solidarity from Oregon! Puertorriqueños deserve to determine their own future, no more imperialist meddling. If they agree on becoming an independent nation, the US should do everything they ask of us to support a smooth transition. In a just world, that's how it would work. Puerto Rico understands their own needs best, and should be treated that way, with respect and dignity. Peace and blessings to you and your family, and to your beautiful jewel of an island. ❤️
So the enemy combatants received top-notch medical care but the first responders didn't and are not even entitled to any? God danmit America!
Remember how we tortured them before we gave them that healthcare, if we even did.
Bernie or bust✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾
Bust , Trump will destroy that commie if he gets the nomination.
stripymccatpuss what part of "you see someone in need, you help them" don't you get? And please if you think calling people you disagree with "commies" is going to win arguments, you will sadly find yourself mistaken.
@@stripymccatpuss if your brand of hatred wins in November, America is finished.
stripymccatpuss I feel for you. There’s no way you’re human living up to his potential. If you don’t feel shameful trolling videos exemplifying human compassion then you are a severely fractured human and I extend my love and hope that you recover.
He will not win and it’s frustrating, the money is too powerful.
This should be a question for Bloomberg, as to why he has let this tragedy happen in his own city.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Breaks my heart to learn this is how America treats its heroes. My love from Canada
fantastic, Michael
Mike outdid himself. What a tear jerker....a flood...as we recognize our Caring Cuban Famila we have misaligned for decades, and as they teach us maybe healthcare is both a right and easily affordable.
I just saw this video for the first time today. Michael Moore, thank you for putting love and compassion into action. You are an American hero!
#Bernie2020 ♥♥♥
Thankfully Biden won
@@sgtjohnson how wonderful! 💚
I started watching this as just another (very good) funny Michael More film but as it progresses, it got so touching and personally heartfelt, I was moved to tears.
This would never have happened in the other wealthy nations that guarantee healthcare as a human right. Only in the Corporate States of America is this allowed to take place.
Don't think we need a revolution ?
That's what happens when you let corporations, money and greed run rampant in politics. Those same corporations create and pass their own laws. Take the money out of politics and take the money out of healthcare.
xYouthAttackx ...agreed✌️!
Michael, It's time for an address on the current healthcare crisis in Cuba, i.e. increase in pharmaceutical costs and decrease in drug access.
It's because of the embargo and sanctions.. a small island being starved out
The last of Michaels movies where you could say he was on the ball about nearly everything. Sicko is one of his best and deserves a rewatch or watch if you haven't seen it before.
If Cuba is doing this you better know DAMNED WELL that Bernie Sanders will get this done in the United States! Don't listen to naysayers anymore! BERNIE CARES! 2020
The problem is the Bernie is one man. We need a Congress packed with Bernies, and when he wins we will be down one.
TY so much Michael!!!! You are a true champion of the people!!!
When you pay 120$ for something that costs 5cents, you know that you getting screwed big time, to be exact 2400 times over.
God bless you Michael Moore! I’ve shown this film to my students learning English here in Barcelona .
Another zinger of a right hook to the crooks in power!!! Thank you. Michael.
I look forward to seing these documentarys here in the UK on Freeview. !!
God and His Majesty be with you.
Amen.
Humanity unite for a better world. Bernie 2020🔥
Rooting from him from Canada
Trump 2020
♥️🔥
stripymccatpuss Fuck you, and Fuck Trump!
javie793 Trump 2020
I know you catch a lot of crap here in the states, but you sir are a true American Hero. Hope this little message lifts you up just a little as I know you have done for the people who you fight for.
Great work , getting their stories and struggles out there, this is heart breaking , bernie will def help ❤
Has me in tears to see the finest example of human beings treated like this yet given immediate medical help from a poor country which the US embargoed to ruin their economy.
So moving Michael and an affirmation of how we are all one though we do forget sometimes. Thank you.
Keep kicking government ass my dear.
My god, it's so good to revisit these incredible MM docs! Easy to forget, after all these years, just how important this work is. Just rewatched the “Fahrenheit 9/11” stream for the 20th anniversary. Kinda choked up with those emotions again. Everybody should rewatch these docs every few years, just as a reminder.
It's ok to love your country AND critique it, especially if you want to see it be better.
Wow, what a story. Thank you Michael!
During the Ebola crisis in Africa, Cuba sent the most number of doctors and nurses.
