Michael Moore defends anger at the health care industry: More blood on their hands than '9/11 terrorists'

Left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore declared that the anger shown towards the health care industry is justified and that he wanted to fuel that anger in a new post.

"These insurance corporations and their executives have more blood on their hands than a thousand 9/11 terrorists," he added. "And that's why they are scrubbing their executives' profiles from their websites and putting up fences around their headquarters."

Moore's article indicated he was in the latter camp.

"In his manifesto, he references how I've 'illuminated the corruption and greed,' implying folks should go to my work to understand the complexity - and the power-hungry abuse - within our current system," Moore wrote, adding that since being mentioned in the suspect's manifesto, he's been constantly asked if he condemns Thompson's killing.

"Hmmm. Do I condemn murder? That's an odd question," he wrote. "In Fahrenheit 9/11, I condemned the murder of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi people and the senseless murder of our own American soldiers at the hands of our American government."

However, Moore chose to focus his condemnation on health care companies, stating, "Here's a sad statistic for you: In the United States, we have a whopping 1.4 million people employed with the job of DENYING HEALTH CARE, vs only 1 million doctors in the entire country!"

Moore wrote he supports the anger that people have shown towards healthcare companies since Thompson's death.

"Yes, I condemn murder, and that's why I condemn America's broken, vile, rapacious, bloodthirsty, unethical, immoral health care industry and I condemn every one of the CEOs who are in charge of it," he declared.
