I just watched this film with my friend Jeanne and the crumbgobblers. My kids are 10 and 7 years old and they both liked the film and now they want me to talk to their mother about us all moving to France. Michael Moore is absolutely brilliant and one of the staunchest patriots this nation has. I heartily recommend that everyone see his films.There is a lot of information that has been tried and proved in other nations for improving our national healthcare system. Many of these nations have a much higher quality of life than most Americans enjoy, as well as a significantly longer life expectancy. Even Cuba has a much better system for treating its citizens in need of care (with a much smaller resource base to draw from).
An American expat living in France said that the difference in quality of life is summed up by fear. The French gov't fears its citizens, and the U.S. gov't is feared by its citizens.
This is another reason for us to become informed and active. Please begin gathering information and sharing it. I have been impressed by the results of gathering people in homes for film showings, discussions, work parties, etc. We need to become networked and begin taking steps to broaden our influence. We have the numbers, and the results are potentially profound beyond explanation. The question remains: Do we have the will?

We may ALL have to move to France!
No wonder the British NHS is deteriorating. Look at the company New Labour decided to partner with to help "reform" it!

The British Government has also implemented the use of a non-medical Unum developed "bio-psycho-social" model to "evaluate" eligibility to claim critical, and in many cases last resort, incapacity benefits for chronically ill and disabled British citizens.
It looks like the next group to get shoved on the Unum "pathway" will be the mentally ill.
"Pathways to Work?" Perhaps we will have another Unum "initiative" called "Pathways to Heaven through Work" for our old age pensioners.
And that's not where this absurd Unum "influence" and extremely unhealthy British Government "affair" ends.
University education and national exclusive "rehabilitation" certification appears also part of the Unum "package"
Very sadly, it looks like some in Parliament have seriously lost their way.
No one in their right mind would trust in such a troubled outlaw branded insurance company, one which is about to face numerous RICO Act trials in America, to "help" reform such critical and fundamental health and social services.

For the British people to be convinced to scrap the NHS through the incompetence of some, who have been seriously mislead and as a result appear to have wasted millions of pounds in taxpayers money trusting in a few ex DWP employees [now with Unum] and such a ruthless, unscrupulous, immoral organization, which appears to hold such a foreign and frightening "social agenda" - would be tragic.
It would be extremely profitable for the Unum Corporation to see the end of the NHS and instead the implementation of a two tier American SICKO private "wealth-care" system throughout the UK. Have a look at how the American wealth-care system REALLY WORKS and then think very seriously again.
