Elton's Man takes on M. Moore

The Duke and Duchess of Health Care.

Elton John's partner David Furnish has hit out at filmmaker Michael Moore for criticising the U.S. healthcare system. The star - who lives in England - insists new movie Sicko is inaccurate, and has praised America's medical services - branding it "the only place to get good treatment".

He says, "I completely disagree with Michael Moore. With my own father, when he was ill, the only option was to hire a jet and fly him to America. It was the only place to get good treatment."

Perhaps Mr. Moore wasn't aware of the program that furnishes free lear jet ambulance service free of charge to every American.
