"If I had to do it all over again, I don't think I would use the
Ontario system," said Canadian cancer patient Lindsay McGreith. "I
would get my wife to drive me to Buffalo, because I know in Buffalo
you'd get looked after, whereas here you'd just sit for seven and a
half hours. ... Our system is lousy." McGreith's comments are in a
soundbite and B-roll video package (basically, an unassembled video
news release) distributed by the PR firm MultiVu and funded by Health
Care America, which is funded in part by pharmaceutical and hospital
companies. It's part of an organized industry response to the Michael
Moore movie "Sicko." Another MultiVu fake news video, which was funded
by America's Health Insurance Plans, promotes a "public-private"
health care system and decries Moore's single-payer proposal as an
unpopular, "simplistic" and unrealistic "public takeover of the
healthcare system."

Oh the lies and dishonesty of *Organized Medicine*.

There was nothing fake when Michael traveled to other countries and spoke
directly with those in hospitals and ER's,
nor the $12,000.00 check he wrote to help the wife of one who slammed him on
his website. Michael agreed he has the
right (my words next) *to be wrong.*

I don't always agree with Michael, nor like some parts of his style, but I
respect him.
