Sicko
I watched this documentary once before, and even though it moved me, I had no true understanding of what it was reaching for. Watching this again, after learning more about the health care system it showed such a great representation. I became angry and would leave wanting to do something to fix the problem. It leaves me with the question of why can our country not pull it together to fix the problem before it gets worse? Or is it just too late? The parts of the documentary where Michael Moore visited other parts of the world where they have Universal Health Care, showed how it worked so well. It just makes me angry that we can not have that here. It is true that every place has problems, but lets eliminate the health care one here, so we can fix the other ones. Health care is one, if not the biggest thing that is holding our nation back. I found it to be ridiculous that the people that our government deemed, "heroes" from 9/11, are now dying and living in such bad health condition because of the price of medical care. They gave their lives, time, and hearts out for the rest of us and yet we are not giving anything back to them, it is completely ridiculous. Through the documentary it gave a feeling that some governments care more about the health of their nation than our does, and that may just be a feeling of only mine but that is what the movie brings to my mind. Everyone is entitled to being healthy and the price of health care, something that is there to save their lives, should not make them lose their job, or house, have to work into their 80's or go all the way to Cuba. This problem was thoroughly expressed in a way that hit you in the face, but this should wake people up to what needs to be fixed for the future.
