The following are some very ironic points in the
film: 1. At the beginning of the film, several people in the United States who do not have medical insurance are introduced. One of the two fingers was accidentally cut off, and the operations on the two fingers were not the same. Helpless patients can only choose a cheap one. Just when the audience sighed the pity of these patients, the director said that the film is not about people without medical insurance, but people with medical insurance.
2. There are many private medical insurance companies in the United States. The standard of their doctor's bonus is the number of customers you refuse to claim in a year. They are like indirect killers, refusing to claim the medical requirements of customers for various reasons. In the end, they were killed in Huangquan.
3. When Michael Moore went to Canada, England, and France to ask the doctors and patients if they needed to pay for a doctor, he was met with ridicule.
4. The only place in the United States that offers free medical care is Guantanamo, where suspected terrorists are held.
5. The volunteers who fell ill for helping others during the "9•11" incident were called "heroes" at the time, but now they cannot get any help from the government.
6. There is a free medical system in Cuba, and sick volunteers come here to receive treatment. The Americans are being treated by their imaginary enemies, the Cubans!
America is a country that claims freedom. In the film, socialism is mentioned many times, and those government officials have been emphasizing "Are you going to turn our medical system into socialist medical care like the Soviet Union?" What happened to the socialist medical system? Just look at the Cuban healthcare system.
After watching the film, I can't help but think about the current medical situation in our country...
When August was about to end, it was the high season of influenza. Unfortunately, my sister caught a cold and spent a few hundred dollars at the hospital. When I got home, I still felt uncomfortable the next day, so I went to another hospital and spent another few hundred dollars. Money, finally cured the disease. Unfortunately, I, who was always strong and healthy, also caught a cold. In order to save money, I didn't go to the hospital because I had a low-grade fever, so I just wanted to take some medicine. Poor me, I had a low-grade fever on and off for four or five days, and finally it suddenly reached 39 degrees, so I had to go to the hospital. It ended up costing hundreds of dollars. The service attitude of the doctors in the hospital was so bad that I really wanted to give her the middle finger, but I didn't have the strength at the time! A mere cold costs so much money. What if you are a little sick?
Although China is implementing some medical reforms, the problems of "difficulty and expensive medical treatment" for the common people have not been solved. What is the function of government? Isn't it for the people? How many image projects have cost taxpayers money, but what about the protection of basic people's livelihood?
If you are interested, people who read this article can also leave your experience in the hospital or your views on the current situation of medical care in China.
