Perhaps he should have waited untill after the next US Presidential election. Seems the film received a positive pre-review form FOX news of all networks. (????)
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Filmmaker Michael Moore has stashed a copy of his latest documentary in Canada because he fears the U.S. government will try to confiscate it after part of it was filmed during an unauthorized trip to Cuba.
The U.S. Treasury Department is investigating Moore's trip to communist Cuba in March to film part of his documentary, "SiCKO," which takes a swipe at the U.S. health-care system and is due to be released in U.S. theaters on June 29.
While not being a large fan of the American medical insurance system it isn't as bad as made out. What I find amazing about this is that the American government still fears a communist invasion from Cuba. Do they really think that if Americans go to Cuba they will become so enamoured of the system they will come back and revolt.....
I came into the world with nothing and still have most of it left..
All a bit stupid really, they cannot buy Cuban cigars but order them from Canada. I wonder if they would stop you entering on holiday if you're wearing Cuban heels on your shoes........

Yes, our very own (USA) banana republic in Miami Florida is still dictating the US foreign policy towards Cuba. It seems a bit dated to me as well…Perhaps Putin will build an anti missile shield in Cuba to protect the Caribbean Sea from terrorist missile attacks.
I really wonder what will happen in Cuba once Castro has gone. As far as I know there are no powerfull successors waiting in the wings. The American gov just will not be able to resist interfering there a soon as possible.......

That is one of the saddest indictments of an emergency system I have heard in a long long time. Not just the hospital but the dispatchers as well ... outrageous!
