Let me try to contribute, I have seen :
- "The Big One"
- "Bowling for Colombine"
- "Fahrenheit 9/11"
- this one
What I liked the most is the Bowling, the most insane to me was Fahrenheit.
"Sicko" is one ingenious fabulation - you gotta give the man a credit: what more could he do than to grab a bunch of 9 / 11 veterans and let them get medical treatment in Cuba?
Although I would probably have trouble getting insurance myself in US, you can't really compare the US healthcare with French - that's so wrong..
I am educated in bio medical engeneering myself so I had to maintain some overview about healthcare and France ALWAYS tops the charts in the quality of healthcare. Well no wonder if they strip the people off some of the most incredible taxes in the world.
Government vs. private Healthcare - unsolvable question, our healthcare is accessoble to everyone for free:
1) misused, there ARE long waiting times (geronts spending there their leisure time)
2) there ARE patients damaged by overworked and underpaid medical proffessionals (that's something not spoken about)
A surgeon makes somethin as 2.000 bucks a month..
3) on the other hand I have a cancer in the family and can't imagine there would NOT be free treatment
There is no way out, you can only try to compromise, you should have the choice to pay the model you can afford and that is suitable to your very own condition, as far as what I can say about that.
