Mom, let's go to Europe to enjoy socialism

What I experienced in the United States was this:

(1) I slaughtered my fingers and ran into the emergency room at night. The angel in white was taken aback when seeing me dripping with blood. She said, come, weigh, measure your height, and wait another three hours.

(2) Later, only three stitches were applied to the fingers, and three bills swarmed in two months later. A total of 800 oceans. Later, I dazzled everybody: I ​​have a golden finger, and I have a golden finger.

(3) Toothache, toothache and headache, unable to take care of themselves even sleeping and eating. The dentist forced me to do a root canal treatment, nothing else, two thousand five. Insurance is busy declaring that we will not pay for it all. So I made a tearful decision. It will be cheaper to fly back and forth to China to see your teeth on weekends than in the United States.

The things I heard in the United States are as follows:

(1) People who are sick are not allowed to buy medical insurance, and it is also not allowed to buy it first and then get sick. In short, if you are sick, you are not good. This insurance cannot give you.

(2) You must buy special gynecological insurance for the birth of a baby, and it must be purchased in advance based on a woman's foresight N years ago. If you accidentally become pregnant, do you buy this insurance when you become pregnant? Ouch, what a pity.

(3) When you are sick to the point where the ambulance is coming, you must be sane and express your rejection. Most insurances do not cover ambulances, and one round trip costs one to two thousand. My American classmate stated clearly that if she is ill, she must lock herself up and she won’t be carried by the ambulance if she dies.

After watching this film, my dream has been strengthened even more. My dream is: It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Viewed from the public, the United States is really lacking in a socialist style. I also pay so many taxes, income tax, consumption tax and property tax, which together basically share the spoils with the government. Germany has cut taxes non-stop, and Canada has cut taxes non-stop. Except for Japan, no major country in the world seems to have higher taxes than the United States. Bush took my money and he used my money to fight Iraq. After so many years, not only did the oil price not fall, but it also went up wildly. You said, what is there to wait for in this country? It costs 300,000 to go to Harvard. I said mom, let's pack up and go to Europe to enjoy socialism in a hurry!

    Let doctors all over the world concentrate on medical treatment! May the business atmosphere stay away from medical treatment, and I am really tired of talking to patients about money when treating a disease.

    can not watch anymore. Who said America is good! ! Even if Michael Moore's personal style is strong, pan-real documentaries, out-of-context editing, eschewing exaggeration to only talk about the necessary parts, and too many subjective tendencies and emotional actions, it seems that these are not tolerated by traditional documentaries. But in such a society with unprecedented proliferation of informatization, people should think more about the information they receive, instead of blindly asking the communicator to take full responsibility. )

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.
