Michael Moore’s Cuba Stunt

Just in case anyone thought Michael Moore had taken an early retirement from his unethical approach to movie making, a report from the New York Post shows the filmmaker is seeking to undermine one of the nation’s institutions once again.

Moore's production company has engaged in a scheme designed to bolster the ridiculous argument that medical care in Fidel Castro's totalitarian dictatorship is superior to health care in the United States.

As part of Moore’s latest film “Sicko,” which deals with the subject of American health care, the deceptive director transported ground zero workers with respiratory ailments to Cuba to prove that the care provided in the U.S. is inferior to the care offered at Fidel’s centrally planned “paradise.”

In typical Moore fashion, the factually challenged filmmaker used ailing 9/11 workers as pawns to apparently satisfy his personal ambition.

An ill worker who was allegedly promised to be taken to Cuba was left behind by Moore. Michael McCormack, a disabled medic, was contacted via phone.

“What he [Moore] wanted to do is shove it up George W.'s rear end that 9/11 heroes had to go to a communist country to get adequate health care,” McCormack told the Post.

Moore went to Cuba minus McCormack.

“It's the ultimate betrayal,” McCormack said. “You're promised that you're going to be taken care of, and then you find out you're not. He's trying to profiteer off of our suffering.”

In a tape of a telephone conversation between McCormack and a Moore producer, a female voice indicated, “Even for the people that we did bring down to Cuba, we said we can promise that you will be evaluated, that you will get looked at. We can't promise that you will get fixed.”

Moore’s popularity in communist Cuba has been solid ever since a pirated version of his movie, “Fahrenheit 9/11,” was shown on state-owned TV.
