No longer talking about healthcare, much less trauma, so a last response to
this tangent: 

The religious right, bless them, are interested pretty much exclusively in
their vision/version of God's will.  Their country's interests are deeply
and undeniably secondary. Of course, if you're a believer, God's will
quickly BECOMES the national interest.

GWB's interests are a mystery to me.  They are probably also belief-based;
but I'm less convinced all the time that anybody's God is a major influence.
I'm leaning more toward power intoxication or delusions of grandeur, but
can't rule out the Imperious Curse.

Present company accepted of course, Dr. Mattox.  Yours were likely the most
balanced of all the commentaries in the thread.  Little coincidence that you
were one of the few to actually take a seat in the audience.  

Michael Moore is a social activist and a clever filmmaker.  I defend him
only against those who would paint him as anti-American.  He may be right or
wrong; but it would be hard to prove anyone more interested in the condition
of his country.

For all  the criticism, I'm at a loss for exactly what harm this film  has
done.  Are wealthy people disqualified from advocating on behalf  of the
poor?  Would you be happier if he were directing ads for  Cigna?

If not Michael Moore, then who?  

Pret  Bjorn

Let it be repeated, that I tried very hard for my comments NOT to be a  
criticism, but one persons analysis of the film.   I added several  areas of
common 
interest and communication where MM, the medical profession,  government,
big 
business, patient advocate groups, etc. could join together and  make a 
change.   It is just that I do not see a common ground in any  of the
pre-conceived 
solutions.    I see more problems for most  of the politically motivated, 
greed motivated, HMO motivated, control motivated,  etc. programs.
