Health Care

                We recently watched a Michael Moore documentary entitled “Sicko”. This documentary was about how corrupt the U.S’s health care system is. Big company’s control if people get the care they need. Therefore, the big companies are making big bucks on denying people health care. How can this happen? People might not have the right insurance, or enough money to pay their bills, so they get denied. This is not how it should be, in my opinion.

                By watching this documentary I learned that many countries around the world have free health care. Canada, Britain, France, and Cuba are among these. If you were in these countries, you could lose all of your toes, go to the hospital, and pay nothing to get them repaired. If you lived in the United States however, you would have to pay thousands of dollars depending on your insurance. In my view, I think that if the U.S could establish a system like this, it would be very beneficial.

                In conclusion, I would like to say that after watching the documentary, I have gotten a very different perspective on our nation’s health care system. I believe that everyone should have free health care like some of the countries I listed earlier. Why would you want to live in a country where medication costs 120 dollars, where it could cost you 5 cents somewhere else? It doesn’t make any sense to me.
