SICKO makes me sick, yo!
I just got back from seeing Michael Moore’s SICKO and I’m pissed me off. I guess that’s Moore’s MO. Well mission accomplished. If you don’t know what SICKO is, it does to the health care industry what Farenheit 9/11 did to the Bush administration. Now I know this is a typical Michael Moore film so I’m taking it with the usual “your results may vary” attitude but I’m still pissed off. In the film he goes to Canada, England, France, and even Cuba to show how socialismzed is working throughout the world. We’re better than France right? I know we’re better than Cuba...they’re just a tiny little island with nothing more than old cars and good cigars. So why is it that these countries give their citizens affordable health care? America has so many resources at its disposal. The country has so much yet it gives back so little when it comes to health care. Now I’m not saying that I’m scared to get sick because I’m afraid I won’t be covered. I’m just saying that we shouldn’t have to worry about health care in the most powerful nation in the world. This isn’t some third world po-dunk country that can’t afford health care. This is America damnit! Our police, firefighters, and libraries are available to us free of charge (after taxes) so why is something equally important out of reach for most Americans? Why are hospitals operating a for-profit business? Why are their CEOs multimillionaires?
Go watch the movie and let me know if it pisses you off as much as it has pissed me off. If you think Moore’s just making false claims again, check out this fact checking analysis of the movie. If you don’t want to pay the $9.50 to see SICKO like I did (maybe that’s why I’m pissed off) you can catch Moore on CNN’s Larry King Live tonight. He was supposed to be on Wednesday night but more important things came up (Paris Hilton granted King an interview) and he was bumped.

Brendan, one day you’re going to find out how bad things are in the health care industry. You’ll be screwed with a 30-50k bill (and your group health insurance is going to tell you partial truth, so you think you owe the bill), and then I’ll be the one calling you. “Pay me!” ‘I can only afford . . .’ “Pay Me!” ‘But, my . . .’ “#$%# You, PAY ME!” And if you don’t pay me, I’d take it out of you’re check, and if your married, your spouses check too. Oh, and you’ll probably end up getting a mortgage just to absorb the bill. Then loan officer will probably rake you over the coals due to having leverage since you have it on your credit report. Eventually you’ll foreclose due the stipulations of the loan. But, that’s only if you don’t pay your hospital bill off in three months. Most of the clients I work with don’t want to have to deal with your bill, and in the beginning they want it all ($$$). I hope you don’t go to one of my clients medical
Yeah, I can somehow relate on what your feel. I hope everything will turn out to be just fine like my <a >botox fort worth texas</a>. There are so many problems in the world today.
