Cuban Health Minister Dr. Jose' Ramón Balaguer said Cuba didn't intend to promote its health services by allowing Michael Moore to bring patients there for the filming of 'SICKO', Moore's new documentary on the US health crisis. "From the human(istic) perspective, we're open to receiving any patients needing our health services," said the minister, but he admitted the film gave the world a sense of their humanistic principles.

"The book is very well written...very important in this individualized capitalistic illusory world that enslaves us all within its tentacles and forces us to believe that we are atomized and disconnected beings. Indigenous Lakota people end prayers with "Mitakuye Oyasin...all my relations..." An ancient African proverb states, "A person is a person only because of and with others..." This instructive text is very useful for us living in what we are always told is the modern world, because it reconnects us all and reminds us that ultimately, the endless circle of the Universe binds and connects us all and the Earth is Mother to us with no hierarchy...the ones at the bottom matter the most...like the ants who build mounds and hills, all working in unison and harmony...the book teaches that we were created for community and our destiny is organic community...anything else is doomed..."
