Is this the same Michael Moore who's past "documentaries" are filled with half-truths, obfuscation and outright lies?

What makes me curious is why people who claim to lean towards Libertarians politically would want a government-mandated cradle-to-grave medical plan. You do realize that this socialized medicine would not be free, but would instead be funded by your tax dollars? Are you really willing to pay 20% or more in income tax to the Federal Government for sub-standard care?

If you don't believe that a government-mandated medical system would be sub-standard care, take a look at how the Government already runs health care systems in its VA hospitals across the country. Personally, I don't want my medical needs dictated to me by some bureaucrat 2,000 miles away in Washington.  There are already better alternatives, such as HSA accounts.

We don't need socialized medicine. What we really need is insurance and tort reform, which are the primary causes for increased medical costs.
