Michael Moore: The Healthcare Industry Has Caused More Pain, Harm Than Practically Any Other | MSNBC
Did you see everyone’s faces when Michel Moore said your employer can at any time and for any reason take away your health insurance!!!
@Chuck Willis What has happened many times over the years? What true facts are you talking about?
@Templar working for a living and being told you no longer have health insurance and not being able to afford your own. BEEN THERE DONE THAT how about you, well we are waiting————– crickets again!!!!!!!!!
@Chuck Willis wtf are you talking about? crickets again?? Nvm i can see you are really slow. No one can tell you you dont have health insurance. Its your responsibility to get health insurance, not your employer’s or the government’s.
@Templar you have no clue!!!!!!!!
Excellent Speech by Michael Moore. The man understands what regular people are worried about.
Nobody knows what you’re talking about.
@Dianna Skare I wonder about Michael Moore and his whole plan to put every Americans healthcare under the control of the government……I don’t trust the government, if I don’t like the company that I work for I can work for some other company, seems like freedom to me. What’s wrong with freedom?
He’s known for the last 30+years watch Roger and me he done known since the mid 90s
The symbolism of “Health Care” are symbols of Lucifer… just so you know!!! Want examples??? Just ask!!!
I admire Michael Moore more for every day
I live in a country that has universal health care and I am horrified by what friends and relatives in the US have to deal with. Medical bills are the number one cause of personal bankruptcies in America People in many other countries are shocked when they hear that, because it is so foreign to them.
While Americans pay more for heath care than everyone else, it is not nearly the best system. Just the most expensive.
I don’t think Americans understand that their medical/healthcare world is soooo strange to others. My Japanese friend couldn’t understand why Americans have to pay for ambulance services when they need them.
@web angel It is strange and people in more civilized places are mystified by such a rich country having no tax based universal health program. They see it, correctly, as a very backwards system where class and personal finances play such a huge role in the care you get.
I was horrified to learn how much Americans pay for their private ambulance services.
It is weird to hear Americans defend that craziness by accusing Canadians and others of being bums who just want free stuff. They have some very bizarre ideas about government and social responsibility.
And they can’t get their heads around the fact that having a healthy population is good for the GNP of their country.
I am Canadian now, but grew up in the American south where I almost never saw a doctor and any tooth problems resulted in extraction because that was relatively cheap.
They also refuse to understand that the health care is not free. We pay for it with taxes because healthcare is a social responsibility.
Of course, it helps to be in a country that doesn’t spend half of its GNP on weapons.
Macnutz420 👏👏👏👏
I’m 100% with Mr Moore
I love you
this is why people need to start listening to Michael Moore he kept warning us three years ago Trump is going to win and nobody listen
The new working class is 30 yr old black woman. I’ve yet to hear that on any news network.
ME 3
He’s good, but Mark Blyth is better. He has the math to back up his political analysis. I appreciate liberal and progressive thinkers who take the time to do the heavy lifting.
As always: Michael Moore on the point and absolutely right about everything. Its Michael Moore.
@Anna Koch Could it be …. Selfinesss? And maybe a little “Don’t tread on me” attitude toward the government turned into brainwashing on gullible uneducated country folk? Maybe maybe. 🤪
Anna Koch 👏👏👏👏
Check out Mark Blyth. He’s quite liberal and progressive and can also back up his analysis with the economic figures.
Almost everything. Why is he praising Claire McCaskill? She is a failed neoliberal hack who thinks she is qualified to give advice on how to win and has no training in journalism. She has no business having such a high position at MSNBC.
I guess you have to have Michael Moore on to get a positive Bernie mention on MSNBC
kossnfx
Well you can’t deny they have him on. Twice in the last quarter as I recall. Maybe more.
Ya their coverage is so disgustingly anti-Bernie and anti-progressive *always.* I just watched Morning Joe do a 15 minute segment about the debate, they did *not mention Bernie ONE time.*
TRUTH
Yeah I was actually surprised they let him speak basically uninterrupted here. Sooner or later they will have to give in to the power of the people, when Bernie’s already tied with Biden for first place in national polls now, and we all know Biden’s going down and Bernie will keep going up.
Micheal Moore is right on, we need get rid of what got trump elected in the first place!
@Brad Krull Don’t forget meddling by a foriegn power.
The Russians were behind a lot of the crap on the internet they used a modern variant of the CIA own propaganda tricks on the US and it worked.
@Jeff Wilbur it is a minority of people 3 million plus less votes. Sheep you dumb to think it was in any way a fair election. Worse yet he has made plans to steal next one Mueller and impeachment hearings prove many attempts with bribery too, but you fascist think it’s fine cause he’s your guy, traitors all.
@Brad Krull Ah yes, the ‘Russian Bots’ who exposed DNC’s corruption and HRC’s machine. Bernie is a hypocrite who’s done rather well under the system he claims to hate and folded under DNC’s betrayal. P
S. His ideas are mathematically flawed and unworkable.
@victrola2007 wrong leaving Syria, destroying Ukaine, and dividing America are all Russian theme that tRump supports because he aligns with Russia over America admitting it in Helsinki. Real nice how you traitor try to make a switch, pathetic your busted.
@victrola2007 you do realize its not uncommon for a avg middle class family to have a million dollars by the time you reach bernies age right????? you know whats uncommon…. a senator to only have a million dollars by the time they reach bernies age…. that shows he is true to his word and rejects the bribes… and the last bit of his fortune he earned legitimately by starting a political movement and selling a book…. not by accepting kickbacks from corporations to corrupt the system… we see though your straw men…. your fellow comrades might be easy to fool but the rest of us are not…
Michael is absolutely right. Love a man who speaks the truth! 😘
Moore looks like he’s carrying the weight of America on his shoulders.
Yes he was and he was speaking how the American people really feel
@Ian G You have to been educated by some liberal college because you are edging on stupid.
@WolfmansCavemansNews Yes, education is a terrible thing if you want Americans to vote against their own best interests.
Seems that the comments on this video are quite positive on Michael Moore and Bernie Sanders.
@Ian G# Ian G It’s not a problem if you have insurance Luke apparently you and I have been blessed to carry. It’s about trying for all people to obtain insurance. Otherwise, people without insurance go to the ER for care. This leaves our ER full of people using it for minor not emergency services. Who do you think picks up that bill?? Taxpayers.
I’ve always hated my insurance being linked to my employer. I felt like a lot of ppl stay at their crappy jobs for the benefits. Amd nothing else.
@Templar back at ya’ 💙💙💙
@Templar Extremely inefficient? How is that?
Do you think M4A would be vastly more expensive because anybody who needs to can go to the doctor? Today many people end up in emergency rooms.
My loved one had cancer. Unfortunately I know about copays and insurance company approvals for treatment causing delays.

@Templar only if you let republicans manage it… with their policies like baring Medicare/Medicaid from negotiating prices… the fact is we in america have some of the highest costs and worst outcomes compared to other nations that has universal healthcare… for example per-capita spending for health care in Canada is US$4,826; in the U.S., US$10,224; and that is with 40% of Americans not having access vs 5% of Canadians(typically due to remote locations)……
our system is 2-3x more expensive then what is being proposed…. only a someone who has drank the corporate koolaid thinks paying 2-3x what the tax increase would be for private insurance is bad…
don’t let the private insurance companies lie to you… do your own research and believe nothing you see on cable/right wing news sources….

@meh757 This is complete retardation.
Not only that.. Retirement, pto,…
Senator Bernie Sanders for the nomination and presidency,period.
Dr M D Aden 💯 Bernie 2020!
Bernie looks in better shape than biden who looks brain dead
And everytime you put bernies name with a guy down in venezuela . gives bernie a better chance to win because it makes you look stupid. When their is john fredrick kennedy on video supporting bernie sanders policies . so i guess jfk is a commie in your head too?
Finally someone said it. They make it seem like the average America love these private insurance companies. There business model is the deny as much people to save on money.
Absolutely! We need to push back against that Neoliberal propaganda!
President Bernard Sanders 2020!
Do any of the wealthy have children in the military or is that below them?
He’s 100% correct. It’s big business that’s making this an issue. In Europe if you have no job or no moneY, you still have health care.
@bg808s I support freedom which means that I am responsible for my own healthcare, anyone that supports a government controlled healthcare plan is ignorant.
@Justice Boofer The people that pay for your healthcare.
@Justice Boofer dont be ignorant please. Its well regulated in every country. Think about it this way if you are homeless and you break your arm, somebody is going to fix it, but you cant just make an appointment for dental or for some estetic intervention if you dont work or if you are not a student or if you dont contribute to the society at all. Oh yeah and the taxes pay for it.
@1Zamorano8 Exactly, its regulated by government that does a bad job at everything it regulates.
People making profit by denying healthcare is morally bankrupt.
@San Geet so writes a brainwashed knob without basic understanding of what ‘capitalism’ is and has never lived under any other economic model. My parents and I were lucky to legally escape the ruins of Communism and So ialism decades ago. To an economist, this plackard-style activism is a result of historical ignorance while benefiting from innovations unimaginable under any other economic system.
@victrola2007 Innovations are science and products are technology – neither of those that do that are nearly as rich as the “marketing experts” who sell those (mostly unnecessary products) in your capitalism.
I bet you sing a similar tune about democracy with blinders on to the fact that elections are won on money and showmanship and run by money-men in the background of the guys they put in power. Fleeing another system does not make you an expert on the system you ran to – keeping your eyes open to happenings in the society rather than focusing on your bank balance might help
Whe is denying healthcare?
@Templar Watch the video
@victrola2007 Your so right. Capitalism has no morals. I’m so glad my country provides free health care to everyone. Imagine having to rely on the kindness of CEOs! 😂😂😂
The looks on the panelists faces as Michael Moore destroys their neoliberal narratives…priceless.
Bladerunner 1986 He was watching and commenting because he can just like you!
I’m literally moved to tears by him speaking for us. Oh my gosh.
Totally agree, it was absolutely wonderful, he threw a bucket of ice water on them and it was just what the doctor prescribed.
Delicious
Say what you want about Michael Moore but there are times like this where he says it perfectly (about healthcare)
Alex G I love Michael, he is fighting to wake those people up who rely on MSM for there news. At least they let him talk here and didn’t talk over him like they usually do on these shows.
And that Palestinians are human beings.
100% correct by Michael. We are lucky to have him on our side.
Ya a commie pig always stick by commie pigs in a blanket like you100% pig out of a blanket
@say no to socailism say no to socailism socialism and capitalism is a false polarizing duality used to dupe the simple minded in a centuries old game of divide and conquer. Sucker!!!
@say no to socailism say no to socailism So whole European countries are commies. Come on big boy.
@Tech Advise No, but they are inching closer and closer to communism.
universal healthcare for all is a “no-brainer” – americans have to finally get on board the universal healthcare train – how can a democratic country allow employers to decide which employee deserves healthcare and which doesnt!!
We are not a democratic country and should never be. Your employer isnt responsible for your health care. Thats your responsibility.
@Templar you are not a democratic country? wtf
@Louis Michael The USA isnt a democratic country no. Democracy is one of the worst forms of government, which is why our founding fathers created a much superior government.
@Templar definition of “republic” is, to quote the American Heritage Dictionary, “A political order in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who are entitled to vote for officers and representatives responsible to them” — we are that. A common definition of “democracy” is, “Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives” — we are that, too. we are a democracy* with a asterisk we have a few un-democratic parts left (the obsolete electoral collage and lifetime judges) but by its very definition we are more a democracy then anything else…. unless we let trump turn us in to a authoritarian dictatorship that is….
