Send Me Your Health Care Horror Stories ... An Appeal from Michael Moore
Friends,
How would you like to be in my next
movie? I know you've probably heard I'm
making a documentary about the health
care industry (but the HMOs don't know
this, so don't tell them -- they think
I'm making a romantic comedy).
If you've followed my work over the
years, you know that I keep a pretty
low profile while I'm making my movies.
I don't give interviews, I don't go on
TV and I don't defrost my refrigerator.
I do keep my website updated on a daily
basis (there's been something like
4,000,000 visitors just this week
alone) and the rest of the time I'm ...
well, I can't tell
you what I'm doing,
but you can pretty much guess. It gets
harder and harder sneaking into
corporate headquarters, but
I've found
that just dying my hair black and
wearing a skirt really helps.
Back to my invitation to be in my
movie. Have you ever found yourself
getting ready to file for bankruptcy
because you can't pay your kid's
hospital bill, and then you say to
yourself, "Boy, I sure would like to be
in Michael Moore's health care movie!"? Or, after being turned down for the
third time by your HMO for
an operation
they should be paying for, do you ever
think to yourself, "Now THIS travesty
should be in that 'Sicko' movie!"?
Or maybe you've just been told that
your father is going to have to just,
well, die because he can't afford the
drugs he needs to get better - and it's
then that you say, "Damn, what did I do
with Michael Moore's home number?!"
Ok, here's your chance. As you can
imagine, we've got the goods on these
bastards. All we need now is to put a
few of you in the movie and let the
world see what the greatest country
ever in the history of the universe
does to its own people, simply because
they have the misfortune of getting
sick. Because getting sick, unless you
are rich, is a crime - a crime for
which you must pay, sometimes with your
own life.
About four hundred years from now,
historians will look back at us like we
were some sort of barbarians,
but for
now we're just the laughing stock of
the Western world.
So, if you'd like me to know what
you've been through with your insurance
company, or what it's been like to have
no insurance at all, or how the
hospitals and doctors wouldn't treat
you (or if they did, how they sent you
into poverty
trying to pay their crazy
bills) ...if you have been abused in
any way by this sick, greedy, grubby
system and it has caused
you or your
loved ones great sorrow and pain, let
me know.
Send me a short, factual account of
what has happened to you - and what IS
happening to you right now if you have
been unable to get the health care you
need. Send it to ::
michael@michaelmoore.com :: I will read
every single one of
them (even if I
can't respond to or help everyone, I
will be able to bring to light a few of
your stories).
Thank you in advance for sharing them
with me and trusting me to try and do
something about a very corrupt system
that simply has to go.
Oh, and if you happen to work for an
HMO or a pharmaceutical company or a
profit-making hospital and you have
simply seen too much abuse of your
fellow human beings and can't take it
any longer - and you would like the
truth to be told - please write me at ::
michael@michaelmoore.com :: I will
protect your privacy and I will tell
the world what you are unable to tell.
I am looking for a few heroes with a
conscience. I know you are out there.
Thank you, all of you, for your help
and your continued support through the
years. I promise you that with "Sicko"
we will do our best to give you not
only a great movie, but a chance to
bring down this evil empire, once and
for all.
In the meantime, stay well. I hear fruits and vegetables help.
Yours,
Michael Moore
