Sicko
ok... michael moore is wierd.. but this documentary is a bit of an eye opener.. I always knew the USA are insurance run healthcare states. But me as a doctor would never want to turn anyone away if they are dying or worse, throw them out just because...they cant pay. Sad but true. C'mon even where i'm at, some hospitals refuse patients, even during emergencies because they cant pay for the treatment.. (good thing theres government hospitals where patients can apply for remission, although some people abuse this and i have rejected some ludacris applications. People claim they are poor when their paycheck is bigger than mine and they carry LV bags..) But to abandon them after admission? Where's the ethics? Not that i'm for the free treatment thing cos people will and do take advantage of the system and take their health for granted.. Why take care of myself since healthcare is free right?
OK documentary but it is very very biased. He failed to show the negative parts of free healthcare and positive aspects of the US healthcare system. Well, dats kinda expected of him. But if there's 1 thing to learn, NEVER travel without insurance..
