UNTRUE. Are you surrounded by sick Americans who can't get the healthcare they need? doubt it. It's all talking points from moron.com and the Dim spinmeisters.

Most Americans have better health care than they would under a socialized scheme. My Dad didn't have to sit on a waiting list to get his knee operations. He wasn't delayed or denied an operation for his prostrate problem. So he's alive and mobile today. Elton John's partner David Furnish has hit out at filmmaker Michael Moore for criticising the US healthcare system. The star - who lives in England - insists new movie Sicko is inaccurate, and has praised America's medical services - branding it "the only place to get good treatment". He says: "I completely disagree with Michael Moore. With my own father, when he was ill, the only option was to hire a jet and fly him to America. It was the only place to get good treatment." Furnish flew his father, who lives in Canada, to America for the fast, advanced quality care that he does not believe can be had elsewhere. According to Canadian journalists who saw “Sicko,” Moore gave “lavish praise” Canada’s socialized health care system in comparison to the US, but once Canadian journalists challenged those claims, Moore changed his tune about Canada's medical utopia and began bad-mouthing the country’s program. newsbusters.org
