Curiously enough, he didn’t check into a Cuban hospital.
Filmmaker Michael Moore is in an intensive-care unit with pneumonia, he
said Thursday through his verified Twitter account.
Moore has has taken an active role in protesting the water crisis in
Flint, Mich., and his new film, Where to Invade Next, is set for limited
release Feb. 12 in the United States. In the tweet, the Flint native
mentions these and election work as leading up to his illness but did not
say where he was hospitalized.
Probably to ward off all the well-wishers.
@MMFlint So will you be seeking health care in Cuba or Canada? I recall
your opinion of U.S. health care being rather low….

Analysis: Fact.
@JammieWF @MMFlint You know what helps that? Hydration. Let's all send
some Flint water for his trip to Cuba for treatment.

发帖数: 24887 | 4 Citing Experience In Hawaii, Limbaugh Says U.S. Health Care System Is ‘Just
Dandy’
http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2010/01/02/75624/limbaugh-haw
Earlier this week, Rush Limbaugh was rushed to a hospital in Hawaii after he
complained of chest pains and had reportedly been taken from his hotel “in
serious condition.” Queen’s Medical Center in Honolulu released Limbaugh
yesterday and during a press conference, the conservative radio host said
his physicians did not know what caused his symptoms. “I wish I knew what
it was,” he said. Limbaugh also denied that he is again taking painkillers
and praised the U.S. health care system based on his experience:
Asked if he was taking painkillers, he flatly said “No,” and added
that he was taking Prednisone, a type of steroid used to treat inflammatory
diseases. […]
“The treatment I received here was the best that the world has to offer
,” Limbaugh said. “Based on what happened here to me, I don’t think there
’s one thing wrong with the American health care system. It is working just
fine, just dandy.”
Of course Rush would probably think any health system is “just dandy,”
mainly because he is a multi-millionaire and can afford the best health care
wherever he might be. But this is not the case for tens of millions of
Americans who are unable to afford care or insurance due to the rising costs
of health care in the U.S.
But it’s also odd that Limbaugh would cite his experience in Hawaii as
evidence that the U.S. health care system is “fine” seeing that Hawaii has
already passed reform measures similar to those that Congress is currently
considering as part of comprehensive reform — measures that Limbaugh has
constantly been attacking.
The state enacted a measure in the 1970s mandating that employers provide “
relatively generous health care benefits” to full-time employees (Congress
is currently considering a similar provision as part of reform) and Hawaii
now has one of the lowest rates of uninsured in the nation, and more access
has provided space for innovation and brought down costs:
Hawaii’s health insurance premiums are nearly tied with North Dakota
for the lowest in the country, and Medicare costs per beneficiary are the
nation’s lowest. […]
With more people given access to care, hospital and insurance executives
in Hawaii say they have been able to innovate efficiencies. For instance,
the state’s top three medical providers are adopting electronic medical
records — years ahead of most mainland counterparts.
The Hawaii Medical Service Association, the state’s largest insurer and
a Blue Cross Blue Shield member, recently offered the nation’s only
statewide system whereby anyone for a nominal fee can talk by phone or e-
mail, day or night, to doctors of their choosing.
Yet just two weeks ago, Limbaugh said those supporting health care reform
are “mentally disturbed” and that “people are going to die” if reform
ultimately passes. | f**********n
