http://onthefencefilms.com/blog Sat, 23 Feb 2008 21:31:10 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 On Friday, I appeared on Canadian national television in a story about the popularity of my video "A Short Course In Brain Surgery" and its contribution to the health care debate. The video (of which there are at least three copies on YouTube) has been viewed over 2 million times. ... http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=425 We've just posted details for two more campus screenings of Indoctrinate U: one at Louisiana State University (Shreveport) and another at San Diego State University. For more information, visit the Indoctrinate U screenings page. http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=424 A Short Course In Brain Surgery - my short movie which tells the story of Lindsay McCreith, a Canadian with a cancerous brain tumor who had to come to the U.S. to receive timely medical care - has now been viewed over 500,000 times on YouTube. Not bad for a ... http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=423 Brilliant commentary on the SCHIP scam. http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=422 Matthew Sheffield at NewsBusters has interviewed Evan Maloney. Topic: The making of Indoctrinate U. Recently I had the privilege of attending the premier of the "Indoctrinate U," a documentary that exposes the widespread suppression of conservative and libertarian opinions on America's college campuses. Turns out, the same 60s and 70s radicals ... http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=421 We are starting to post some of the scenes we loved but ended up having to cut from our feature length film Indoctrinate U. The first deleted scene is called "Columbia Quiz." This less-than-five-minute video may prove embarrassing to the administration of Columbia University, which very clearly did not want Evan ... http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=420 Jamie Court of Santa Monica, California's "Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights" has a frustrating editorial in today's L.A. Times. He asks "Is it the right of the government to impose an obligation to buy a private product that costs $12,000 a year for a family of four?" and concludes: mandatory ... http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=419 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tuesday, September 11, 2007 Contact: Jon Caldara, president, 303-279-6536 or jon@i2i.org Amy Oliver, operations director, 970-371-3413 or amy@i2i.org Think tank hosts independent film maker and free market health care advocate Stuart Browning for the Colorado premiere of Free Market Cure GOLDEN, Colo - The Independence Institute is proud to announce that it ... http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=418 Yesterday I gave an interview about Indoctrinate U on KCOL-AM out of Loveland, CO. Today saw two more interviews with Greg Allen of Accent Radio Network and Bud Hedinger from WFLA-AM out of Tampa, FL.

[...] For the first time, private health care clinics are proliferating throughout Canada and arguments for allowing private physicians to practice freely are being heard. "You are seeing ... http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=415 I'm profiled this morning over at Front Page Magazine: If Moore's film channels the prevailing left-wing wisdom about the alleged glories of government-run healthcare, Browning's work represents a much-needed corrective: a skepticism about government's ability to provide efficient coverage and a confidence that the free-market is a better compass for change ... http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=414 Rather than quibbling with Michael Moore's omission of Cuba's position relative to the U.S. on a World Health Organization (WHO) international health care system ranking report, CNN should have called into question the use of that biased report itself. The WHO report doesn't just rank health care systems according to ... http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=413 Last night I appeared on the FOX News channel show "Hannity's America" discussing my films, Michael Moore's Sicko and the threat of collectivized medicine. The only video to show up on the web so far is from an anti-FOX wingnut site who have edited the video with some inane commentary ... http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=412 Michael Moore isn't the only advocate of government-run medicine to use deception and lies to further the cause. Paul Krugman at the New York Times, in a column earlier this week, defends the Canadian system with all the deceit he can muster: Yes, Canadians wait longer than insured Americans for elective ... http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=410 http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=409 David Hogberg has an excellent article this morning over at The American Spectator explaining why the health insurance market doesn't work the way that other markets do. The answer? One word ... government. By now it is no secret that Moore's new documentary Sicko shows health insurance companies finding all sorts ... http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=408 This site, and its new companion website Free Market Cure, feature short movies - made for the internet - which explore the U.S. health care system as well as the true nature of government rationing of health care as practiced in Canada's single-payer system. The movement towards "universal health care" or ... http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=407 Here's left-wing healthcare pundit Ezra Klein in an email message to me commenting on the anecdotal stories in my movies on Canadian health care: Ah, argument by anecdote, the last refuge of the scoundrel. [...] America has no shortage of terrible tales of maltreatment, deprivation, and wrongful death, but I'm not ... http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=406 http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=405 I am scheduled to appear today on Your World with Neil Cavuto on the FOX News channel beginning between 4:30 and 4:45 EST discussing Michael Moore's schlock-umentary Sicko as well as my own films.

Click the thumbnail image below to play. http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=402 Michael Moore's new docutribe Sicko is set to unleash a torrent of disinformation about the U.S. health care system that will play into the hands of those who wish to turn our entire health care industry over to government bureaucrats. However, we're firing back with a new internet movie that attacks ... http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=401 My new film, The Lemon (run time 7:46) shows how today's single-payer health care initiatives have a lot in common with the failed economic systems of eastern Europe. A system without competition and profits will lead to tight government control, shortages and medical rationing. Watch it now http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=400 The Washington Times has a write-up of our new film Indoctrinate U: "Indoctrinate U" follows Mr. Maloney to different campuses, where he chronicles the stories of students like Steve Hinkle, who was prosecuted for posting flyers for an upcoming College Republicans event at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, ... http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=399 We're hearing that Michael Moore, in his upcoming movie, interviews some happy Canadians who are satisfied with their health care system. This doesn't surprise. Most healthy people don't like to think about getting sick and like the idea that if and when they do - they will be taken care ... http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=398 We hear ad nauseum from the single-payer left about the supposed administrative efficiency of Medicare and Medicaid. Since insurance companies must control waste and fraud in order to make a profit for shareholders they are deemed inefficient. However, government can draw from the seemingly bottomless well of tax revenues. Here's ... http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=397 Just last week it was 45 million uninsured. Now, according to Michael Moore, it's 50 million! How long, I wonder, before the number of uninsured exceeds the entire population of the U.S? David Hogberg has some good commentary this morning on his blog about the inevitable results of community rating mandates: The ... http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=396 Stanley Kurtz at the National Review has a new, in-depth review of our new feature-length film Indoctrinate U: One of the virtues of Indoctrinate U, Evan Coyne Maloney's powerful new documentary, is that it helps us answer the "isolated anecdote" argument - both intellectually, and at a gut level. Indoctrinate U explores ... http://onthefencefilms.com/blog/index.php?p=395
