A WikiLeaks document shows Cuba banned Sicko for depicting its ‘mythical’ healthcare system,  authorities there feared footage of a gleaming hospital in Michael Moore’s film would provoke a popular backlash. From Cubans banned from it 786px-julian_assange_norway_march_2010and forced to third rate care if at all.

Even Castro knows that Cuban health care is a disaster.  In fact only Maxine Waters California Democrat Congresswomen, the one now charged with ethics violations, has said she wished we had Cuban style health care. ( Not she had “we” had)

“Cuba banned Michael Moore’s 2007 documentary, Sicko, because it painted such a “mythically”  favourable picture of Cuba’s healthcare system that the authorities feared it could lead to a “popular backlash”, according to US diplomats in Havana.

The revelation, contained in a confidential US embassy cable released by WikiLeaks , is surprising, given that the film attempted to discredit the US healthcare system by highlighting what it claimed was the excellence of the Cuban system.

But the memo reveals that when the film was shown to a group of Cuban doctors, some became so “disturbed at the blatant misrepresentation of healthcare in Cuba that they left the room”.

Michael Moore is the Sicko–he wants folks in the US to be starved for health care, like Cubans.  Of course Moore, through his lies, is now a muti-millionaire and can afford all of his health care needs–unlike most Americans.  Sadly, Moore and his friend Barack care more for government than quality health care.

Ironically Moore is a financier behind WikiLeaks’ founder Julian Assange.
