SiCKO!

France, Britain, Canada and even Cuba have a better health care system than America. Cuba?? I was shocked but that's what Michael Moore made me realize once I started watching his movie "Sicko" last night.

Like Moore says, the documentary is not about those people who do not have health insurance, but rather about people who have health insurace and yet end up dying because of improper care and most of the time - no care at all.

The documentary gives true life accounts of Americans who lost their and their families lives becuse their health insurance company refused to give them the proper coverage. In one case, a woman who has cervical cancer, is told by the company that she cannot have the disesase since she is only 22. Hence, she is denied the fund.

The documentary also showed how in Britain, doctors hired by the government get paid more for treating the patients better while in France, government sends maids over to the houses with new born babies. In Cuba, medicines were available for 5 cents while the same medicine cost $120 in the the U.S. and so on.

Sad but true. On one hand I reufse to believe that any country can be flawless with its health care system... I bet even France and U.K. have their own concerns, but of course some countries definitely need to work harder on this issue than the rest.
