Michael Moore - A counterpoint
Funny how some information gets "missed", isn't it?...
Helen Evans is the director of Nurses for Reform, a pan-European network of nurses dedicated to consumer-oriented reform of European health-care systems. She wrote recently in the Chicago Tribune:
"Michael Moore's denunciation of America's health-care system is about to hit the silver screen. In the film's trailer, a desk attendant at a British hospital smiles while explaining that in Britain's National Health Service, 'everything is free.' But for free hospital care, Britons pay an awfully high price.
Just ask the nearly 1 million British patients on waiting lists for treatment. Or the 200,000 Britons currently waiting merely to get on NHS waiting lists. Mr. Moore must have missed those folks."
