imminent

"John Q", I still prefer the Chinese translation to the English name. It is imminent, life is imminent, and it cannot be delayed for a moment.

My son needs a heart transplant. Regardless of whether there is a suitable heart, the cost of the operation is astronomical. For the Q family, whose family was not wealthy, the only thing they relied on was insurance. However, due to the huge loopholes in the insurance system, they only received a very small amount of insurance, which was far from the cost of their son's surgery. In the face of life, the hospital is only full of copper stinking, and it cannot put his son's name on the list of transplant recipients without money. John raised money everywhere for his son's life, and finally sold the furniture, electrical appliances, and even the only car, but the money was still not enough, and his son's life was at stake. The Lord's John "Do something!" was

forced to help, John took the risk and kidnapped the doctor and the patient in the emergency room, hoping to threaten the hospital to save his son's life. Among these hostages were pregnant women, children, injured men and women, nurses on their first day of work, and fat security guards who just wanted to survive.

He had no intention of hurting them, he just wanted a bargaining chip to save his son, and as long as his son's name appeared on the list of heart transplant recipients, he raised his hand and surrendered. When the pregnant woman was about to give birth, he agreed to release the hostage, along with the old woman and the child in her arms. And the hostage who was released said to the camera that came to interview: He is a good man!

Yes, he was a good man who kept his own way, but the society wanted to force his son to death, and he would not obey him. He was just a father who was eager to save his son, and he took this extreme road.

The police, hospitals, insurance companies, and journalists all had their own plans for Q. After mixed negotiations, negotiations, interviews, deceit, and hysteria, in the end of the call between John and his son, the public and the audience stood by Q. side.

My son was dying. Q said to give him my heart. When he was about to raise a gun and drink bullets, I burst into tears. He said to his son before the operation: Stay away from bad things, please!

He touched his son's chest and said: I will never leave you! I am always with you! Right there!

Fortunately, the donor's heart was delivered in time; fortunately, the director of the hospital found it in time; fortunately, fortunately, there was a A doctor who truly saves lives and wounds; fortunately, everything is just fine.

In the end, John was sentenced to three years in prison, but in exchange for his son's health, it was worth it!

At the end of the film, one of the black hostages said to John: You are a hero!

Yes, in front of the father's love that is worth his life, everything is not important.

He's not a kidnapper, he's just a father.

John Q quotes

  • Employee Manager: [in his office] Your policy has changed, Mr. Archibald.

    John Q. Archibald: [sitting in front of him] Changed to what?

    Employee Manager: Yeah, we recently switched carriers from a PPO to a HMO. It's a less expensive policy, but unfortunately, there are some restrictions.

    John Q. Archibald: What kind of restrictions?

    Employee Manager: Here's how it works: Non-management part-time employees, such as yourself, only qualify for second tier catastrophic coverage.

    John Q. Archibald: No, no. I'm not part-time. I'm full-time. It's just slow right now.

    Employee Manager: Sure, but your coverage is based on hours worked and like I said, you only qualify for second tier. And that has a maximum payout limit of $20,000.

    John Q. Archibald: [shocked] What? Wha- I-I mean-I mean, you guys have been taking money out of my paycheck every week. I've been paying into this policy for years.

    Employee Manager: Right. And that's why we're gonna cover you for the full twenty.

    John Q. Archibald: You can't be right. I mean, come on. Alright, let me get this straight: You're telling me that you have dropped me from full-time to part-time. You switched carriers. Now you're telling me I'm not fully covered? Even though I got a policy that says I am?

    Employee Manager: It doesn't seem right, does it?

    John Q. Archibald: No, it doesn't seem right. I mean, my son is sick. If I'm not covered, I've got a serious problem.

    Employee Manager: I understand that, uh, but there's nothing I can do. Look, you can file for an appeal.

    John Q. Archibald: Yeah?

    Employee Manager: [hands John an appeal application] Here you go. That takes about seven working days.

  • Rebecca Payne: [in her office] No, no, no. This is an appeal. An appeal is for an already existing claim. What you needed to file was a grievance. You filed the wrong paperwork.

    John Q. Archibald: [sitting in front of her] Wait a minute...

    Rebecca Payne: You're gonna have to resubmit. It could take up to 30 days.

    John Q. Archibald: [turns frustrated] Look, I don't have 30 days.

    Rebecca Payne: I know you don't.

    John Q. Archibald: And quite frankly, I'm getting sick of the runaround. Now what I need is my son's name...

    Rebecca Payne: Mr. Archibald, your account is in access of $30,000. The hospital has been over backwards to help you out.

    John Q. Archibald: Is that right?

    Rebecca Payne: Yes! It is right. But there's a limit to our generosity. Once and for all, your insurance does not cover this.
