Michael Moore asks for your help!
Tracy Pierce is dying of kidney cancer. His health insurance provider won't provide the necessary care. How do we change their minds? Read his story and contact CARONDELET HEALTH to share your thoughts. Tell them MichaelMoore.com sent you.

**It may have been too angry**

Did you point out that they have no concious, that they're only concerned about lining their pockets and that if the guy wasn't poor and black this wouldn't be happening!!!!!!!!!!

9. Yeah I started to wonder after I sent mine if it was too angry
Got worried maybe I did more damage than good when I asked how their decision makers could sleep at night or look in the mirror.

Man I am pissed, stories like this would not exist if we had Canada's health care system in place.

My God why are Republicans so afraid of such a system??? They're the life savers party right?????

8. Heatless....money grabbing bastards
No one, Not one person should have to resign themselves to death, because they are unable to pay for a lifesaving procedure. And this case is truely disgusting, because they are insured.

10. How much has Michael given?
It would seem cruel to let this guy die just to make a political statement.

I have first hand experience of him playing the guardian angel and keeping it secret. He walks the walk.

I asked if they had ever read the Grisham book the Rainmaker and how they could sleep at night.

It felt real good, best of luck to Tracy Pierce.
