I would further add that the medical system would also probably cost less if the insurance system was shaken up: if more people were offered a wider range of insurance products that were not tied to their place of work. Increasing the range and types of insurance, reducing the incentives for unnecessary visits, increasing the supply of doctors and putting the issuance of malpractice awards in the hands of impartial medical officials rather than gullible juries would go yards to reducing cost.<BR/><BR/>Michael Moore of course will offer none of that. He is a 21st century PT Barnum and you are right that his previous film probably helped the Bush 04 cause rather than harmed it (it almost made me vote Bush too). Frontline documentaries provide more information on useful topics than his vapid films ever would. He is still a stupid American, no matter how much he rails against rightist ideologues.Kochevnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17324813801736964649noreply@blogger.com
