international health care:
Sicko
This country has so much pride for our democratic ways that have given us our world power status. Sense the beginning of the country immigrants have come here with the hope of passing on our democracy security to the next generation. For many countries universal health care came with their democracy. The film sicko by created by michel more demonstrates our countries health care compared to Canada, Cuba, United kingdom and france. These nations all have free, socialized, government funded, health care.
Although we did not see the section of Sicko filmed in cuba i chose to watch it on my own time. We did not watch this part in class because (I think) michel moor discusses how he wants "to be treated like Al-Qaeda." This part showed uninsured 911 first responders receiving medical care from doctors of another country. These people were sobbing at the generosity of the medical personal. Michel more reefers sarcastically to cuba as a, "godforsaken third world country" Then latter reveals the service it does to its people. Michel more does a good job in using music, tone and sarcasm to show his point.
I was first confronted with the idea of universal healthcare when i was on an 8th grad trip to costa rica and i got a flew. I had a 102 degree fever and a sour throat for a weak. I went to the doctor and they did not ask to see anything. Not my health care card or passport or social security or anything but my name. I got prescribed antibiotics for free. This treatment was free for me because I am and was under 18.
