The Daily Show on Healthcare

I had to go back pretty far in the archives to find healthcare videos from The Daily Show, but below are descriptions of two:

On 6-27-07, Michael Moore was a guest on The Daily Show. He talked about his movie Sicko that was coming out. Moore mentioned that the doctors and employees at insurance companies deny people’s claims for treatment. He said that the healthcare system in the US is designed to not pay for your treatment because health insurance is profit-driven. Moore said that Canada is the solution to the US's healthcare problems.

On 9/19/07, John Stewart talked about Hillary’s healthcare plan which Newt Gingrich (on Hannity & Colmes) said is a return to her failed 1994 plan. Stewart showed many clips of pundits insulting Hillary's healthcare plan and calling it “Hillarycare." CNN even commented, “Why is she trying again?”
