Health care systems

Published by jamiehere under Uncategorized Edit This

in the United States suck! Let me know if I am wrong but I don’t think so. I just watched the documentary called Sicko by Michael Moore. Just so everyone knows I’m not really a fan of his but when I saw this documentary being advertised a long time ago I told my mom that I really wanted to see it and she agreed. So tonight we finally watched it and my oh my was it good. It could be all biased but, according to his documentary, France, Great Britain, and CUBA!! all have better health care than we do. Universal health care and socialized medicine that Canada our neighbors to the north have is free! I recommend this video to anyone because it’s really an eye opener. United States is the ONLY westernized country that doesn’t have socialized medicine. Why is this? It all boils down to greed. I think America is one of the greediest nations. We are built on that because everything we want is bigger and better than what others have. The CEO’s of companies are soooo rich and all they are concerned about is cutting costs and building their bank accounts even more. How much money does a person really need??? 2 million a year sounds quite enough, but no no they need to turn away the poor that is dying because they are focused on cutting costs. HMOs hire people to basically be a hit man for them and find reasons to deny someone medical care. Its quite sad, and upsetting to see that this goes on in our country, the country that we are supposed to be so proud of and be very patriotic in honor of all the freedom we have, but how can we be patriotic when things like this are continuing to happen and people are LETTING this happen! The politicians are all bought out by the health care system to not support certain propositions that would harm them from getting a couple more million a year. Who cares if they deny care to a dying patient, if it cut costs and saves money DO IT. And this to me is DISGUSTING! God Bless America? or God Bless the Rich in America?
