The movie sick-o was a documentary talking about health care. Michael Moore travels to different countries to compare their health care with Americas. In America they don’t have free health care and if you cant not pay for your medicine or surgery, the hospital stops caring for you and kicks you out. Basically if you are poor and sick the chances of you dying are quite high, but if your able to pay for your hospital bill you will get taken care of.
He traveled to France and found out that they have free health care for anything or any type of sickness even received his money back for parking after leaving the hospital. Cuba also has great free health care. Prisoners in Cuba get treated well if they are sick and they have a lot better chance of surviving, no matter if they are poor or rich, than poor Americans that can not even afford a yearly check up.
Personally I don’t think this is well because if you are in some serious need for medication or a check up, but you cant afford it you shouldn’t have to die. Yes I know that when people pay more taxes for free health care, some people hate the fact that they are paying more taxes for some one that is not even working or in their family but what they don’t understand is that anything could happen at anytime. For example if they lost their job and became extremely poor and sick and cant afford check ups they would understand how it feels not to have free health care.
So to conclude I think that every country in the world should have free health care for the better of every society.
