'SiCKO' Saves: "Michael Moore, you just saved my home."

I lived in England for 6 months in 2005. Cracked a rib. Went to the hospital, got care there, referred to a specialist, got a prescription. None of it cost me a penny. Care was great, they were all very nice. There were no long lines, no patients dying because of waiting. I hate America, the country I was born in. How did we get to this point? How did we get to be a third world country? I just watched SICKO for the first time last night and I cried.

Four months ago, I had a heart attack, emergency angioplasty and a stent put in my heart to hold an artery open. I have no insurance. The hospital bill? $40,000. It also stated on the bill that if I paid it in full within 30 days, I could get a 50% discount. So, if I am wealthy, rich and have plenty of money laying around... I get a huge discount. I need another stent put in my chest but the hospital won't do it unless I pay $10,000. I don't have the money. I hate living in America.

It's sad, we live in the riches country in the world, but don't give a damn about our own people... (or I should say, our greedy corrupt politicians).... It makes me sick, Cuba has better health care then we do, and their people don't have million dollar homes, BMW's, BENZ and SUV's... What does that say?

I would be very Interested in seeing The True American Patriots like Michael Moore To actually do an attempt at Rebelling against the Horrible Health Care System that Indirectly Kill People instead of Helping them.

The Country is it's People, By Denying them the Health Care they need, You Indirectly Murder Your Own People

I Support Michael Moore And Everyone Else who Follows Him, "THE American Patriot"

thank god, I do not live in america.

I have no health insurance and have broken my ankle so I will be out a fortune in medical costs. However,even if I had insurance I might still have problems with getting my insurance company to cover everything in spite of the premium I had paid. To me,whether or not you have health insurance,you should be fighting for Universal Healthcare. Why? In countries that have it everything is covered and their taxes do not really strain anybody. It costs too much in taxes is just a fear tactic.

Amen to that

The man over the Governor's group said that it will take 5-7 years to get a realistic healthcare plan underway.

I am in total disbelief that the American people are unable to see through all these delay tactics.
The rich Managed Care people, defense contractors and oil people will not give up control over us easily. We have got to fight this!

I just watched the joke of a Senate Healthcare inquire discussion with a panel of so-called experts. The lady representing the insurance group said, if you are over 55 that you should pay 10% of your income towards healthcare insurance. Isn't that age discrimination?

This was a major slap in the face for me at 53.

Why are all Americans not enraged by this?

It is because too many Americans care about nobody but themselves not realizing that even if they have health insurance there is no guarantee they will always get the care they need. The only way you can be guaranteed that you will always get the proper healthcare is if you are rich or live in a country with Universal Healthcare. Otherwise,you are at the mercy of Health Insurance companies which care nothing about you but care only about profits!!
