HW 25 - Response to Sicko

     In this documentary you will look at how the United States health care
is ridiculously expensive when we are supposed to have free universal health
care like in the U.K. France and in Canada. I will be traveling to Canada,
France, and the U.K. to see how free health care works and peoples
experiences with free health care. I interview many doctors in Canada, U.K.
and France and asked them questions about patient’s visits, billings from
the hospital, and salaries of the doctors.  In my movie you get to see how
horrifying our health care plan is and what it should look like, people with
serious conditions are being denied health care because they either had a
preexisting condition that was not serious, and they are dyeing because of
this.

Evidence:

The more people that doctors deny for health care the more money they get.

“ My name is Linda Peeno. I am here primarily today to make a public
confession: In the Spring of 1987, as a physician, I denied a man a
necessary operation that would of saved his life, and thus caused his death.
No person, and no group has held me accountable for this, because in fact,
what I did was I saved a company a half a million dollars for this.”

When I saw this movie I honestly wanted to move to U.K. or France. I feel
that it is atrocious to have the health care that we have. If they don’t
have to pay why should we? People who simply had a yeast infection are being
dropped because it’s a preexisting condition. The list that was shown of
preexisting conditions honestly scared me. What if I’m older and I want to
apply for a health insurance company? Do I now have to lie about how I’m
feeling or lie about illness I had in the past that could kill me later
because my doctor didn’t know? A doctor in the U.K said if someone comes in
here sick why shouldn’t we help them, that’s are jobs. When I heard this it
made me question the doctors that I have seen, they aren’t in it to help me
they are in it to make money.
