My thoughts on SICKO

This film was a real eye opener to the many flaws that are present in our healthcare system. The story of the child that was refused care is just crazy to me, but unfortunately it happens. I felt like this movie made countries seem perfect. I left leaving if life is so great other places than why are people always migrating to the US? I felt as if I was not being given the full story. It is not possible for life to be that great in places such as France and Canada. I felt that the health care system here is flawed, but it is not doomed the way Michael Moore presented it. I do agree that health care can be a money hungry business, but some comparisons were just too beyond me for me to actually believe them. Such as the story about terrorists getting better healthcare than us, I do however realize this makes good television. After watching both sicko and sick in America I feel on fence about the subject. I do however believe that the United States is in dire need of health care reform.
