I thought Michae Moore is an expert when it comes US healt care system but looks like he doens't know what an anesthesiologist does...he was on Larry King Live coupel of days ago adn here is his response to a question Larry K. asked.
KING: Do you -- if you had a serious health problem, you wouldn't leave the country, would you?
MOORE: No, I wouldn't because I'm one of the 9 percent of the American people that belong to a union of non-governmental employees. Only 9 percent now belong to a union. And so that means I have very good health insurance as part of my union, The Directors Guild.
And so, you know, and in fact, I mean, I had appendicitis a couple years ago, had to have my appendix out. And they rushed me to the hospital and they wheeled me in and, you know, I'm not worrying about the money. I had other worries. I'm looking up at the anesthesiologist as he's -- you know I just said to him, you know, there's a lot of people that pay you some big bucks just to turn that up a notch or two.
