Sicko Fun Fact: Michael Moore Would be Disqualified from Hip or Knee Surgery in England

Amy Ridenour actually posted about this more than a year ago, but I caught it while reading an excellent post on the new push by Britain to force smokers to quit at least four weeks before a surgery. Knee and hip surgeries are not available to anyone considered obese under Britain’s nationalized health care. This would mean that Micheal Moore would be turned down for knee replacement surgery after his bloated carcass damaged his wheels so badly that he’d need treatment. Ha!

I guess in that case he could go to (snicker) Cuba. You know, because the free health care there is so great.

Yet another fun fact you won’t see in Moore’s new movie.
