Sicko

No, this doesn't have anything to do with my last post titled 'Sick of it' rather by the documentary by Michael Moore. I finally got to watch it two days ago. It was really interesting. The movie's about the American healthcare system and how crappy it is and goes to France, Canada, UK and Cuba and checks out their healthcare systems. He goes around the US and hears people's stories: a -lady whose husband died because their healthcare company said that a certain medicine wouldn't help even though the doctor said it would pretty much get rid of his disease
-many people who were kicked out of a hospital (even when they were in bed) because they couldn't pay for being there
-an American lady and her two kids who moved to Canada to get healthcare
-Nurses and firemen who helped out when the World Trade Centers fell, they unfortunately got some diseases but weren't covered by their healthcare companies because they were volunteering. So Michael Moore took them to Cuba and they got treated and got the right medicine for free even though they weren't tax paying citizens.
He goes to UK, Canada and France and is amazed that people don't have to pay for anything there and how much they get. He asked one couple at a hospital in the UK 'how much did it cost you to have your baby? Because in the US is costs you to have a baby' They gave him the weirdest look and replied 'ummm...nothing?...?'

I don't feel like talking about the whole film since it talked about other stuff. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.

Seeing this made me even more scared. Since December I don't have health insurance anymore because I had decided to wait one more year to go to college. But I still have dental insurance, who cares if I die or anything, my teeth are way more fucking important.
How can the US, a modern, rich country, the 'best country in the world' who claims to have a ton of freedom and takes care of its citizens be the only first-world country who doesn't have universal healthcare? They have money to kill people in wars but none to help its citizens...
