Michael Moore has been getting lots of attention with his documentary Sicko which claims, among other things, that Cuba’s socialist health system is better than that of the United States. Moore’s agitprop unfortunately will be grist for those who want even more government-run health care here.

Next week, the alternative idea on fixing health care—getting the government out of the way and letting market forces work—will be showcased in a couple of venues. On Tuesday, Star Parker will take her turn as a potential replacement for Rosie O’Donnell on The View. The guest for The View that day will be none other than Michael Moore. Sources close to Parker say that she is confirmed as a guest host and briefed up on health care. We’ve heard Star before and all we have to say is watch out Michael Moore. This should make for good TV. Set your TiVOs!

And on Thursday, Cato will show dueling movie clips from Sicko and from the Moving Pictures Institute, which has put together some shorts explaining the problems with government-run health care.

It should be an interesting week for health care issues.
