Google wants to protect you from Moore's Sicko

Taking a break from reading the wall-to-wall iPhone coverage on TechMeme, I ran across a post from Lauren Turner, who works for Google as an account planner selling ads to the healthcare industry. In the post on what is called the Google Health Advertising blog, but only contains two posts, she assures potential advertisers that Google can help protect them from the negative impact of Michael Moore's just released film "Sicko," which does to the U.S healthcare system what Fahrenheit 9/11 did to the Bush administration.

I saw "Sicko" last night, and while the film doesn't include the point of the view of U.S. healthcare industry executives (I assume they didn't relish being on film with Moore) and over rotates in spots, who can deny that the U.S. healthcare system, and the U.S. government that won't fix it, is deeply flawed.

Moore makes his points best in the film in chronicling some of the tragedies resulting from our healthcare system, and in documenting how people who live Canada, the United Kingdom and France have nationalized, socialized health care systems and have longer lifespans than the U.S. population.
