Sicko
Better late, then never. In my vacations I watched Sicko, Michael Moore’s movie about heath care in the United States. He shows a number of situations where it simply doesn’t work.
People that has a private plan and got rejected when a serious decease like cancer appeared, or even people that were pretty well, but had their lungs burned because they wanted to save lives after the 09/11 accident.
A comparison is made to a different health care system applied in countries like, Canada, United Kingdom, France and Cuba. The idea is simple, everybody pays taxes and this includes health care, the same for everyone, if you are healthy you pay for those who aren’t.
In the private model, the idea is to reject more people to make more revenue, this kill people, in the public plan the idea is to make people more healthy to make more revenue, this save people.
It’s a complicated move for a country that has a private model, but it’s statistically proved that works better then the private model, people are healthier, has a better quality of life and live longer.
