Film director Michael Moore has taken Ground Zero responders to Cuba for medical treatment in a bid to show that Fidel Castro's socialized medicine is better than health care in the U.S., the New York Post reports.
The director of "Roger & Me" and "Fahrenheit 9/11" took the responders to Cuba as part of his latest film, "Sicko," which examines American drug companies.
The move has angered some who say that Moore is using the ailing Ground Zero workers as "pawns."

"He's using people that are in a bad situation and that's wrong; that's morally wrong," Jeff Endean, a former SWAT commander from Morris County, N.J., who spent a month at Ground Zero and suffers from respiratory problems, told the New York Post.
But others say the workers were pleased with their Cuban visit.
"From what I heard through the grapevine, those people that went are utterly happy," John Feal, who runs the Fealgood Foundation to help raise money for responders, told the Post. "They got the Elvis treatment."

Somebody needs to put Michael Moore out of "our" misery. [V] 0 -
Of course they got the Elvis Treatment. Castro's in the spotlight, so he's going to do everything in his power to show what a sh**bag he ISN'T. That fat socialist weasel makes me sick.[xx(][xx(][xx(][xx(] 0 -

That's some interesting syntax you have there. If I understood what you were trying to say, I might agree with it.0 -
Is it true that Moore got a free gastric bypass surgery for the referal ? 0 -

That's mighty nice of Mr. Moore to take these Ground Zero responders for medical treatment. I believe the ground zero first responders were true patriots. It is a shame that could not get treated in America since they were heroes. 0 -
If their universal healthcare is so much better than ours, why did the Cuban Govt. send for a doctor from Spain to treat Castro's intestinal disorder (cancer). What, they couldn't find a doc qualified enough in their own country? 0 -
Swamp hogs are capable of anything.
If he likes Cuba so much then why the hell don't he move there.0 -
I sincerely hope that this was an anti-American publicity stunt my mr. Moore, but knowing how s**tty a State of Kansas professor's insurance policy was (that would be my parents before they found jobs in a better state) I fear that an NYC cop/firefighter's policy may have been s**tty enough to force them to go to Cuba [V] 0 -
What kind of moron would go to Cuba for any kind of medical care?
Heck I would go to any small hick town hospital in the United States before I would consider medical care in a sub Second World Nation.0 -

Many Americans go to Mexico for cancer treatment. Just because it wasn't invented here doesn't mean it's no good. The medical profession in the US depends way too much on surgery and expensive drugs that do the same as natural homopathic remedies. I personally trust Chinese medicine more than US medicine. It works.
Ever wonder why the American medical profession keeps kids and women doped up on Ritalin and Xanax? To sell pills.0 -
While I don't care for Moore, I sincerely hope it will help the Ground Zero folks. That seems more important than what any of us think of Moore. 0
