"Sicko"- Your thoughts
Just saw the movie last night. The most disturbing part was the lady who was the Medical Director for that insurance company saying that she caused the death of so many people by denying claims based on technicalities etc...Shame...
No, i dont think Michael Moore showed the WHOLE truth about it all (like the high income tax rate of Canadians to pay for socilaized healthcare) but my goodness- we dump people who cannot pay hospital bills off on the street in front of homeless shelters on skid row?!?!?! ..And how is that $50 million for the volunteers that worked at ground zero being allocated? The people in the movie didnt see a dime of it and they were clearly in need...And WTF? Prisoners of war- the same people who want all Americans dead (AND tried to kill a significant amount of us on 9/11)- are getting "top notch" medical treatment at Guatanamo Bay? Thats just messed up! Your thoughts? Do you think we could ever have a National Health Care system?
Answer:Haven't seen the movie, don't intend to.but, national healthcare isn't going to happen as long as the insurance companies have such powerful lobbyists in our Capital.
Our "representatives" do not represent the people you know, they represent themselves, and as long as the insurance companies are feeding them money, we will never have national healthcare. Every other nation on the planet has it, but not us, we are too heavily into the capitalist system.
i love micheal more .. people will just trun it around and make him look like the bad guy ... over the movie was great i love all his movie <3
i really wanna see the movie and you just made me want to see it even moore!! hehe
Yes we do drop homeless who can't pay off in front of shelters on skid row in bigger citites. Also on a personal note many HMO's are not competative or don't step up to the plate to submit bids to companies so you wind up changing insurances and getting caught in a whole different system and have to find all new docs and specialists and many are not good. Such is the case with hubby who got diagnosed with sleep apnea and uses the machine but has some normal problems with falling asleep sometimes and asked the regular doc for something and the regular doc wouldn't help him and told him the doc that deals with the sleep apnea is the one he should see. Pure BS just because he didn't want to deal with a simple insomnia problem.
I refuse to see it, I know that like his other movies, they are not the complete truth, look at fahrenhype 911, sever people from fahrenhight 911, came back and said, he edited my interview, he only gave hafl of what I was trying to say to support his ideas and sociailst propaganda.
Anybody can make a 2 hour movie about the bad side of anything. I could with enough time and money make a documentary about how the evil Bunny rabbit is trying to take over the world. Michael Moore makes tons of money showing you the bad side of things and making America look like the bad guy. Does our healthcare system have problems? Yes. But not any more than every other country and less than many. Why do the most significant medical discoveries not come from Canada or Britain. Socialized medicine.
