My Thoughts on SICKO

I personally felt super upset after watching this movie.  I guess it was because I could not even imagine putting myself in some the situations that some of the families and people were forced to face.  When I was watching it at home, there were some points in the film where I was tearing up because I really felt bad for the families.  Also, after hearing how great the French and British healthcare systems were, I was like...I want to move to Europe.  Then I could have someone do my laudry for free and get all these perks. I spoke to my cousin who just moved to France, she absolutely loves the healthcare system, but she also spoke of how expensive life is in Europe.

Obviously after thinking about the movie some more, this movie did not show all the ups and downs of the European system.  I mean the taxes alone are reason enough to maybe stay away from universal healthcare.  I think that there are ups and downs for every system.  The universal healthcare system would be extremely difficult to establish in the US. People are already moaning and groaning about taxes, I don't think we are at a point in our economic system to establish this type of grand reform.  This movie was extremely eye opening.
