Gupta for Surgeon General?

I know little of the context, but it seems to me that solely based on the interview BOTH of them should have learned something. You don't cherry-pick figures from different sources if you can help it. "Latest" and "approved by Bush" means little compared to "calculated by the same guy using the same method."

Politically though, I'm all on Moore's side. We have American-like insurances here, and they stink, taxes or no. Precisely for the reasons mr. Moore stated.

Check out the Wolf Blitzer interview that he's talking about. Wow.
