Folks in Britain, Canada, France and Cuba: Michael Moore's movie Sicko says you!
Question:
Folks in Britain, Canada, France and Cuba: Michael Moore's movie Sicko says your health care systems are?
better than ours. (USA) Do you agree? Are you happy with the care you are getting?
Answers:
I strongly believe in socialised health care this film has only solidified that belief.
Some people talk about long wait times- The only time I have ever had a long wait time in an emergency room is when I was with a friend who was ill, but there were people who were worse off going ahead of her.
She had pains in her stomach with a pre existing kidney problem and so we all knew what to expect, she was in no danger. Thoes that went ahead of us included someone who had bleach in his eyes, a head injury, a pregnant woman, and people on stretchers. and you know what they all DEFINATLY should have gone in first. She ended up with a prescription in the end, god forbid we should have to spend some time reading magazines.
The over worked doctors and nurses have alot to do with the lack of them. I lived near a medical University and all of the graduates I knew went to the USA because they'd make more money. It seems every one in the world is starting to care more about money then the people around them.
I'm greatful that my family which is very limited in resources does not have to worry if someone gets sick. My nephew was born hearing impared, he gets free hearing aids and speech therapy. If we were in the states, we could not afford either.
Nobody should be refused treatment ever.
