Hillary's Health Care Plan

I'm glad that Hillary has finally announced her health care plan. It's good that her plan gives all Americans the same options that Congressmen and Congresswomen already have. And I like that in her plan, insurance companies wouldn't be allowed to deny coverage for preexisting conditions. But what does her plan say about preventive health care? I've written to her asking if her plan gives discounts for healthy lifestyle choices. It needs to. Have you heard anything about this?

In the Ghetto--A Lisa Marie & Elvis Duet

Lisa Marie filmed this in New Orleans, a duet with her father, to draw attention to the fact that poverty exists in this country. It's a beautiful video.

Sicko is Brilliant

Michael Moore's new movie, Sicko, says a lot about the huge lack of compassion in the US government:

How is it that other countries (and Sicko doesn't even mention ALL of the countries) are able to provide free health care for all? And why can't the US?

Sicko shows how greedy and selfish health insurance companies are--a sad and even criminal state of affairs.

Sicko addresses something very wrong with the US system, the clout that big business holds in keeping politicians quiet. Indeed, it's a sad state of affairs--a Catch 22--when a person with high ideals needs to take money from greedy and selfish health care and pharmaceutical companies to campaign to get elected to try and implement those ideals.

I can imagine Michael Moore as president some day. But then again, he probably has more power to foment change as an independent filmmaker than he ever would as a candidate needing a huge fortune to be taken seriously. Dennis Kucinich, who is campaigning to be president, says all the right things, but no one takes him seriously because he has no money.

I tend to agree with Bill in this one. I think they made the wrong choice!

Michael Moore Has a Big Crush on Hillary Clinton

In this article, he calls her sexy.

I think it's great that Bill's wife is getting some buzz that puts her in a new arena.

Moore was responding to a reporter's question about the way his new film, Sicko, treats Hillary.
