I don't know if you have heard of the movie Sikko, but if you haven't it's a must see. It's not a chick flick or horror movie it's an instructional video about the health care system in the United states. It talks about how more than half of the American population has no insurance and how a lot of people don’t have enough money to see a doctor. It show real cases where a man cut off accidentally his two finger and had to pick one of them to be fixed because the price for them where one for $10,000 or the middle finger for $25,000 take a guess which finger he picked. It also introduces you to an old married couple that loss their house and had to move in with their children because they couldn't afford al the co-payment the had to make for the medicine, and they had insurance. Here you learn that in this country people can't afford to get sick because, they would have to pay a lot of money. It's really sad that most of us in today's society can't stand up for our-selves and tell our government we want free healthcare. This not being only for ourselves but for future generations, because if you come from a middle income family in today's society you can't afford a doctor. Take it from me my mother hasn't been to a doctor in almost 3 years. Her last time was when she had my baby sister who is now 3 years old. My mother-in-law is another one who hasn't been to the doctor for 5 years. This proving my point we need FREE HEALTHCARE. All this make me sad and sick of this world we are living on where we put a price on a person’s health or worse yet a life! Please look it up I know you could even watch it online for free, do it it’s only 45 minutes and it tells you the reality of the life we are living.
Tell me your opinion i want ot HEaR them and yes share your stories with me i will be delighted!
-Since i got those comment i wonder if my idea was understood, i just want to prove the point that helthcare in today's society ins't affordable, I don't care if they make it free or afordable, i just ache for a change on the one we have now. Altough free healthcare would be best it's true we have to be realistics.
