Michael Moore, who supposedly offers $10,000 to anyone who can find incorrect facts in his movies, now owes Sarah Berk at least $100,000 after this piece on Sicko. It’s worth reading the whole thing:

Michael Moore ends the movie saying that every European country offers “free” health coverage to their citizens and every European country provides such coverage through a “single payer” system. Both statements are untrue…Most European countries directly charge their citizens for their health coverage. It is not “free” anywhere. Some nations require people to buy coverage from health insurance companies that look very much like American health insurance companies. Other countries use a payroll tax on everyone’s paycheck to pay for health coverage…In Germany, each employee pays 7 percent of each paycheck for health care and each employer matches that 7 percent…The government of the Netherlands takes 9 percent of a worker’s paycheck every week to purchase health coverage – – it’s hard to figure out how Michael Moore can legitimately call such a payroll deduction “free.” Also, when the government of the Netherlands deducts that 9 percent, or when Germany deducts their 14 percent — they do not use, as Mr. Moore incorrectly claims, a “single payer system” like Canada…
