Sicko

Sicko is a movie that deals with our health care system and how much of a joke it is. After seeing this movie it really makes one think about what goes on behind the scenes that we dont see, for instance when the lady turns people down for personal gain. I dont think that I would be able to live with myself if I knew that someone could have died because I bent the rules and said no to them on getting health care so that I could get a little bit higher on the rankings latter. It also talks about other countries health care. When we talked about Canadas health care in class though its tough to say whos is better. Their big downfall is that your at their mercy as to when you get treatment and thats its all on lists. It doesnt make since to me that if one person has been waiting on the list for a year and hasnt gotten the procedure that they need and then someone else gets hurt and needs the same thing and get priority to them just because they are younger or something. I wasnt a fan of the movie but I think thats just because I dont like Michael Moore. The way that he goes about doing things bugs me. It always a ridiculous point of veiw, its his way or no way at all. Your never going to get a perfect system anywhere you go. Hes trying to say that other places are so much better then us but if you went a looked at their system I would bet money that you find some pretty corupt things with them also. All in all its really an eye opener though. Ive learned that you really need to read and reread the things you sign so you can have a fighting chance when they try to screw you over. The movie was one that I never would have watched on my own but one that was interesting to see.
