I view the health care issue in the US as a symptom of what seems to be happening on a bigger scale. Some people are just getting left behind completely, the gap between the haves and have nots is ever widening, and the place is being sold little by little (along with its childrens future) to companies that view you and me as nothing more than profit or loss and which have so much influence over the government that they should cross out a few lines and replace them with, "government of the big companies, by the big companies, and for the big companies." I don't believe this is a problem specific to the US, but I'd like to see the US do something to get power (and knowledge) back into the hands of the people where it belongs and see the place become true again to it's founding principals.
Haha, sorry for the soap box rant.
I'll agree that gov healthcare can be run badly, but it can also be run well. It's been proven to be a good system which provides good quality care in most countries that have it.
Afraid I've got to take off man. I'd still recommend Sicko, even though I don't agree with everything Moore says, I think he's way too self promoting sometimes, and his lack of willpower sickens me.
