homework 25

in class, we watched the movie sicko. a movie by michael moore. it showed about how people with health care are still having to be billed expensive costs for the services by the doctor. even though they have health care and they think they have to pay little to no cost, it is actually the total opposite. people with health care are still having to pay thousands of dollars for their medicine or doctor visits. there was also how people are getting rejected from health care because of past injuries or pre existing medical conditions. a lot of health care insurances wont cover just about anything. for example, they would reject you if you have even a sty. but however in other countries for example in england, or canada, they dont have to pay for health insurance. their country pays for everything. they dont recieve bills or get rejected for anything. they get great service and dont have to worry about how they are going to pay the next bill.

i thought that the movie was very imformative. i wouldnt have guessed that our countries health care was that bad. i think that it is totally wrong how they would reject people because they have a pre existing conditions that they could not do anything about. people shouldnt be punished for having health problems that cant be prevented on their own. our country always talks about how nobody should be left behind, or how everyone is equal, that is a lot of bs.

since i had good health care, at first, i didnt want to believe it because that means it could happen to me. but i dont know if that is true or not because so far i have gotten everything covered for me and never had to pay anything. so now im scared that one day im going to need a major surgery and its not going to be covered and im going to be stuck with a huge bill. being in debt because of medical expensives is stupid and shouldnt be allowed. if we cant have free medical care, they obviously our country doesnt care if we die or not because all they really are is money hungry and trying to scam everybody out of their last dollar.
