So I saw Michael Moore's "Sicko" today. I swear, it made me want to kill myself. All throughout the movie, I just wanted to turn it off and cry myself to sleep. Why? Because of the words burned into my mind that will stay there until I soak it in some GOP acid:
WHY ARE WE SO STUPID!?!?!
For those of you who haven't seen Sicko, basically what Moore does is bash the health insurance company into bits, and if that wasn't bad enough, he compares it with other nations. This made me cry because:
They don't have insurance.
Going to the doctor doesn't cost anything.
In England, they pay you.
IT WORKS!!!
All the money goes to taxes, which, as observed by Moore, doesn't affect foreign families at all! Now that you may be bashing your head against an American flag, he just has to take it one step further by going back to the states, focusing on a new "health plan": Throw everyone who can't afford their medical bill onto the streets and into insurance companies. Feel like killing yourself? Well, you might as well when he travels into 9-11 workers, ones that weren't paid or told to help dig up ground zero and did anyway, and how many of them got respiratory diseases, the government shrugged them off. I'm not even going to comment here. Furthermore, because he is probably laughing at your tortured patriotic soul, he investigates a camp where all terrorists or anyone who is considered a threat to America get sent to. Why? Because they all get better health care than some citizens. So he takes a group of people (people that he talked about throughout the course of the movie) into that area, asking for health care for them. Taken away, he goes to the non-American part of Cuba, where Americans think is the home of Lucifer, who overthrown the old dictator, who people liked, and replaced it with himself: Fidel Castro, who, after taking over Cuba, had given his citizens amazing health care. Go figure. In there, all of Moore's crew were treated amazingly without payment, except for some pills and inhalers which were about $0.5 in pesos. Of course, you've probably seen the movie if you are posting here, so I'm not going to go any further. My point is, America has just extremely failed in health care. FAILED. Michael Moore, through a movie, gave our country an F- last summer.
