Just watched 'sicko'
Posted On 03/20/2008 22:22:58 by Lilboo

wow, it scares me to think of all those people being decline health insurance for little excuses from the insurance companies. I can't believe that the insurance companies would decline people health care and they "the insurance companies" get richer each day.

I did cry watching that movie. it seems Canada, France (and here in New Zealand) have govt funded medical care. Those 9-11 volunteers turned away, or lost everything because of there health care insurance company. They had to leave the American land to go to Cuba to get the medical treatment they have been waiting for 5 years for. An inhaler is $125 usa and in Cuba it is 5c WOW - i'm shocked!

I couldn’t get over the fact that hospital staff would put people into taxis and push them out of the car, and leave them close to a free clinic (wondering around, some with iv drips in their hands still) because they found out they had no money to pay for the medical treatment they have received in hospital.

It makes me think twice about coming to America, would i be treated the same, (of cause i would have travel insurance) but man to think about all those people, their lives, their jobs gone.

Something is truly wrong with the medical system in America, well that’s what i think anyways!

Well, some movies are biased.  I haven't seen this movie but I think there are people that want our (USA) health care to look awful for political purposes.  I try not to believe most of what I read or see because you never know of people's agenda.  I live in the US and am middle class currently, but grew up in a low-income family and I was NEVER denied health care for lack of ability to pay.  That is just my 2 cents worth!  RSS
