I just finished watching the movie. Here are my thoughts
I worked in an ALF before and i had a case once where the insurance company (Humana) denied a certain drug that this old woman really needed, she ddnt have that much money and almost getting kicked out of the facility, because she couldnt afford it anymore, and yes after watching the movie it did hit me, and michael made a good point about healthcare. I'm not surprised about the movie at all, hes just repeating what other people have said and just compiling it. Healthcare is the worst here in the US, and i vow that i would never ever retire in this country, with how people treat old people here, and how they would make you work to death.
If Universal healthcare is true what he said about Canada, UK, France then im definitely gonna move there, as for Cuba, yes, im not surprised about Cuba. Ive lived outside and inside the US, and i thought that corruption would be non existent here in the US, or at least to a minimum level, but it turns it that corruption here is worse. I say that were paying too much taxes, and funding a ridiculous war. And i found it very unfair how stuff costs here in the US, im a student in the medical field so I know whats going on with insurance crap and all those stuff, ive worked in an ALF, and ive seen insurances deny coverage to drugs, doctors getting mad and telling me the frustrations how a patient could not take this drug because its still new. I never liked HMO's in the first place and i agree that they are very corrupt and they have a strong grip on healthcare, i always told my mom, that she cant retire in this country, because I cant stand how old people are treated here, and i will do the same, ill not allow myself to retire in this country, get old and pay my way to death.
The did not find the movie anti-american at all, Michael Moore was making a point and i agree with him, ive lived outside the US, and i agree with the non-americans that the US has a very bad healthcare system, i wish id never get majorly sick or get an accident. I envy my aunt who lives in the UK, who almost pays nothing, and its all on her taxes. Corruption in this country is at its finest.
Again, im not surprised about the elements in this movie. Ive always wanted to tell Americans that there is something better out there, and stop thinking that this country has everything and look at the bright side, this country has its good and bad points, healthcare is one of them, add the school system too. I hope this movie provides and insight to people that there is a world out there, and there is a reason why they hate this country, and healthcare is one of them, and how the elderly are treated.
Im just glad my grandparents are not in the US healthcare system, and living longer than the average american. My parents, me, my children wont be either. As long as a i know that there is something better than this country has to offer, i will take advantage of it, Im proud to be an American, i wish the system would be reformed, and avoid maximum profit for the benefit of all. I love this country and I am a citizen of this country, but doesnt mean i will do everything what this country wants me to do, and i will exercise my first amendment right to do so, i have my homecountry to go to back in Asia, im not limited to this country alone. Im glad that the movie has opened an insight, and it was definitely a must see for everyone.
Anti-americanism is directed not to the people, but to the system itself. Non-americans love americans because they encourage freedom, the system is what destroys the US relations with other countries
Thats my major post for today.
