Michael Moore is at it again with the production of his movie "Sicko". Moore has been soliciting 911 workers for treatment in Cuba. Hoping to skewer the Bush administration and the big drug companies Moore has been promoting the "superior medical treatment in Castro’s Cuba.
An Exclusive from the NY Post:
Filmmaker Michael Moore’s production company took ailing Ground Zero responders to Cuba in a stunt aimed at showing that the U.S. health-care system is inferior to Fidel Castro’s socialized medicine, according to several sources with knowledge of the trip.The trip was to be filmed as part of the controversial director’s latest documentary, "Sicko," an attack on American drug companies and HMOs that Moore hopes to debut at the Cannes Film Festival next month.
Two years in the making, the flick also takes aim at the medical care being provided to people who worked on the toxic World Trade Center debris pile, according to several 9/11 workers approached by Moore’s producers.
But the sick sojourn, which some say uses ill 9/11 workers as pawns, has angered many in the responder community.
"He’s using people that are in a bad situation and that’s wrong, that’s morally wrong," railed Jeff Endean, a former SWAT commander from Morris County, N.J., who spent a month at Ground Zero and suffers from respiratory problems.
A spokeswoman for the Weinstein Co., the film’s distributor, would not say when the director’s latest expose would hit cinemas or provide details about the film or the trip.
Responders were told Cuban doctors had developed new techniques for treating lung cancer and other respiratory illness, and that health care in the communist country was free, according to those offered the two-week February trip.
Another hit piece that the Hollywood elite and the MSM will endlessly promote. Wishing a pox on Moore and his Communist pals. Tracked to: Hot Air
