Please do so for yourself and all Americans who should have the ability to see a doctor when they need to do so. Our tax dollars paid for Bush's colonoscopy and his excellent medical care, as do we pay for our Senators and Representatives health care. Many people are just hanging on until they turn 65, not taking their diabetes medications because they can't afford to do so. This will be a greater tax burden than treating people who need care now!

And why are insurance executives making millions based on denying services? No other for-profit business model operates that way.

8. Breaking News: Bush Admin Subpeonas Michael Moore

I haven't posted enough on DU to start a new thread in the breaking news category, so I am doing it here.

Michael Moore is my HERO...


According to an article in the New York Daily News:

http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/dc/2007/07/bushies_want_to_hear_from_moor.html

"This just in from "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," where Michael Moore is a guest this evening:

The Bush administration has subpoenaed Moore over his trip to Cuba with 9/11 rescue workers, which he included in his new documentary film, "Sicko." The press release is in the link below.

MICHAEL MOORE ANNOUNCES THAT HE’S BEEN SUBPOENAED BY THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION ON “THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO”

BURBANK-July 26, 2007 – Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Michael Moore announced that the Bush Administration has subpoenaed him in the wake of his recent trip to Cuba on the July 26 episode of NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" (Monday-Friday, 11:35 p.m. - 12:37 a.m. ET). "I haven't even told my own family yet." Moore began, "I was just informed when I was back there with Jay that the Bush administration has now issued a subpoena for me."


The trip was part of his new film "Sicko" which tackles the question of affordable health care in the United States. Moore, who brought 9/11 rescue workers with him on his excursion, explains the reason for his trip, saying: "Took them to Guantanamo Bay because I heard the Al Qaeda Terrorists we have in the camps there, detained, are receiving free dental, medical, eye care, the whole deal, and our own 9/11 rescue workers can't get that in New York City."

In a continued effort to help the 9/11 rescue workers, Moore stated that on August 11, the Weinstein Company will be donating 11 percent of the box office receipts from "Sicko" to "help these workers and the other workers who need help," said Moore.

Also Moore told Leno on the show how his studio asked him to cut a certain segment out of his film. "I just tell the truth in our film. (Hillary Clinton) did something very courageous 14-years ago, saying all American's should be covered. She got beat up badly for it. Now she's the second-largest recipient of health care industry money in the U.S. Senate."

Moore continued: "In fact, I don't know if I should really talk about this on national television, but you know the head of the studio that's releasing this film...Harvey Weinstein is a big supporter of Hillary Clinton. For the months leading up to the release of the film, he kept calling me every day saying, 'I want you to take that scene out of the film, attacking Hillary.' I said, 'I'm no attacking her, I'm just telling the truth.'"

Moore explained, "I'm going to go after whoever is in power, doesn't matter if they are Democrat or Republican I'm going to try to be a voice for people that don't have a voice."

The segment remains in the film, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on May 19, 2007.

"The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" is from Big Dog Productions in association with Universal Media Studios. Debbie Vickers is the executive producer.

11. Wonder what questions they will ask him...

Maybe he should evoke executive privilege like * did so he won't have to testify.:bounce:

[That Is Quite Enough]

9. Sent, though my Congress Critters won't listen.

[Faux pas]

10. If all else fails, hit 'em with logic! (GASP) My response:

Americans pay more than enough taxes to pay for National Health insurance. All of you elected officials have excellent health care, thanks to 'we the people(taxpayers)'. Don't you truly believe that the rest of us deserve the same quality of care that you get?

Vote Yes on H.R. 676!
