sicko, a film with a conscience

Saw this film tonight and was very moved, it once again proved that Moore is a conscientious director, even though the director may be prosecuted for this film that brings justice to people. The despair brought to the people by an unfair system is more cruel than the disease itself. A very good film, worth spending 2 hours watching.
The Chinese people should be more aware of their own living conditions and the country's medical system. People in any country have the right to enjoy full medical services, and we should fight for this. The United States is not the only country with problems with its health care system. A few years ago, even before 2007, our health care system was no different from the United States, because the government handed the national health care to the market, but luckily Yes, our government is changing this misconception and gradually increasing its investment in medical security, but compared with countries such as Canada, France and the United Kingdom, we are still far behind, and even compared with Cuba, a socialist country. In comparison, our medical system is not fair enough. At one point we were no different from the United States. While sympathizing with the American people, we should think more about our own situation. As a socialist country, our medical system is not a "socialist" medical system like the United States imagined, and it is "egalitarian" Our medical system is actually less socialist.
The health care system should be a fair public good, not just a commodity for the rich. If this can't be done, then what's the point of giving more money from the state and taxing more? The United States has almost the most advanced medical equipment, medicines and most professional doctors in the world, but technological progress has not benefited the American people, so what is the use of making more "Emergency Room Stories"? Technology should ultimately serve the majority of the people. And technological progress should allow more medicines to drop in price, not produce more high-priced "advanced" medicines that are harder to pay.

    The lives of the American people are also miserable. I watched in the last 10 minutes with mixed feelings...tears. . The director is a thoughtful person. However, is there any bias when comparing the United States and the United Kingdom and France? (Perhaps it is an occupational disease derived from my investigation, and I always doubt such details)

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.
