In Japan I had freedom from emailing, corresponding, calling, faxing companies, hospitals, and billing companies. And most of all freedom from paying my own cash for treatment (a suppossed human right). No freedom here in the US under corporate health care. The corporate beauracrat is king.

I lived in Japan (national health care) and just moved back to the US. The US government and media (corporate-owned) use scare tactics and talk about loss of "freedom." I can also say -having lived in both systems I have no freedom under the US health system. I never imagined having to call an insurance company to ask and plead to be covered -despite having an "insurance card."

Thats definitly true as well, but I've definitly heard "asshole" descriptors as well. I guess it comes with the job though.

It doesn't happen in America - that's the point you fool. EVERY other civilised country in the world (and some not too civilised) have a NATIONAL health service. And the big secret is the government is the only purchaser of health services, so it drives the price down (doctors not too happy but hey, they'll survive). I live in Australia. We've had universal health care since 1975 and everyone is covered (EVERYONE).

Great video. : )
i think a lot of americans are caught in a sort of logic loop that prevents them accepting UHC can be good. it goes like this: we are the greatest country in the world > our health care must be the best > other countries must be inferior because we are the greatest. Big pharma and insurance companies who lobby politicians just need to mention the world "socialism" and the status quo remains.

It really is a terrible system. It'll get to the point where you wont even get treatment in an emergency situation. (We currently have the law that doctors have to treat you in an emergency life or death situation) I wish more people watched and believed Michael Moore, the problem is he's not a very likable person, so people are quick to just ignore him.

It's not just Moore's personality that some people despise; it's his message. Sometimes the truth is really uncomfortable, and people would rather just ignore it.
