"Sicko"

I enjoyed the film - my favorite parts were when they visited other countries and it just showed how our health care system is in desperate need of reform. The part in the movie where someone comes to your house to help you with your kids is outrageous! I never in my wildest dreams thought the government would pay for that. After watching the film, I considered what life would be like if I moved to France or Canada, however, I had second thoughts after watching “Sick in America”. As much as I enjoyed “Sicko”, I thought it might be too good to be true. The 20/20 special stressed the importance of competition and how that leads to innovation. America, without a doubt, has developed many lifesaving techniques, procedures, and medications. However, something has to be done about the soaring costs. What is the point of having all these great things if no one can afford them?
