American Qingyi sick file (SICKO)





You'll laugh till it hurts------Peter Travers,Rolling stone~ I burst into tears immediately after laughing, it is the portrayal of this film~



Hong Kong people are still very happy for the time being You don’t need an insurance executive to approve whether you can undergo surgery at the juncture of life and death. However, under the already lucrative American medical system, people have worked hard to provide insurance for their entire lives, but in the end they caught a fever before purchasing insurance and caught a cold because of a car crash. Afterwards, there is no immediate registration, because the surgery required by the disease is still in the experimental stage and other strange excuses, so you lose Medicaid, wait, wait until you die~~



Internal regulations of the insurance company, successfully rejecting an insurance subsidy, saving the company money, You can get bonuses, promotion and salary increase~

Today, you accidentally broke your middle finger and index finger. Fortunately, you bought medical insurance, but it is not enough. Please choose, 60,000 for the middle finger and 20,000 for the ring finger~~~~~ ~When every part of the body is controlled and measured by money~~Please choose---don't worry, the doctor will stand in front of the cash box and wait for you until the money is counted~



How can the US government stand by? But the reality is that poor people who have no money and no medical insurance are just stuffed into a taxi and thrown off a street corner. These damned people~~just right, the problem of aging society is solved by the way~~~~~ Hong Kong can follow suit, and is following suit~



For decades, thanks to government propaganda, public hospitals have been filled with "socialist medical system", people Frightened~~ Just like when Hong Kong people hear the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, their faces are full of contempt~~ Public? ----It takes a long time to wait, crowded and wait, and life is dominated by the state, the tax rate is high, the benefits are too good, and this kind of communism is really scary~ Everyone should buy medical insurance, and they are responsible for their own birth, old age, sickness and death. , The rich don't have to sell bills for the sickness of the poor~~ How fair~~



But life and death not only depends on the quality of the insurance, but even the drug is monopolized by the drug dealer's price-----a painkiller that sells for five cents in Cuba , In the United States, it costs 120 yuan~ Because you want to protect the patent, do you want to reduce the price of medicine? You can wait until the pharmacy giant can't afford the medicine and die of illness~~



This hilarious, wonderful, satirical documentary, there are so many souls that make people fall into contemplation~~~



I am just worried about myself, how quickly my excitement full of anger and sadness will fall into comfort and then quickly to kill?

    "Society can be judged by the treatment of the lowest echelons of a country." But we have a longer and harder road than the U.S.

Sicko quotes

  • Aleida Guevara: Cuba is a little island in the Caribbean with little to no resources. We can do a lot to improve the people's health. This does not happen in the United States. Why are we able and you are not?

  • [final lines]

    Michael Moore: It was hard for me to acknowledge that in the end, we truly are all in the same boat. And that now matter what are differences, we sink or swim together. That's how it seems to be everywhere else. They take care of each other, no matter what their disagreements. You know, when we see a good idea from another country, we grab it. If they build a better car, we drive it. If they make a better wine, we drink it. So if they've come up with a better way to treat the sick, to teach their kids, to take care of their babies, to simply be good to each other, then what's our problem? Why can't we do that? They live in a world of 'we', not 'me'. We'll never fix anything until we get that one basic thing right. And powerful forces hope that we never do. And that we remain the only country in the western world without free, universal health care. You know, if we ever did remove the chokehold of medical bills, college loans, daycare, and everything else that makes us afraid to step out of line, well, watch out. Cause it will be a new day in America. In the meantime, I'm gonna go get the government to do my laundry.
