Last night I watch the movie 'Sicko' and I was really moved. I'm a grown man, and I still cried when I saw the footage of the old lady, still in her hospital gown, who was dumped on skid row in LA. There is no doubt that the american health care system is fatally flawed. We treat health care as an opportunity to make money. In actuality, profiting from other people's suffering is sick and immoral. Canada, Britain, in fact all other western countries have it right. They view health care as a collective responsibility that we as citizens have for each other. Not as a business opportunity. Not as an opportunity to fill ones pockets while denying coverage to the sick or doing everything possible not to pay out to people who actually are covered. It would seem that americans lack a compassion for their fellow citizen that other western countries do not have.
But is it really because individualism is more emphasized in the United States...or is it because powerful interests would do anything to prevent universal healthcare in order to protect their profits. I'd say its both. There is no doubt that powerful corporate interests want badly to peserve the status quo. Thus they engage in strident lobbying of our government officials and 'contributions' that are really just another form of bribery. The congressional leader who spearheaded the anti - universal healthcare effort opposing Hillary Clinton's health care reform in the 90's went on to work as a lobbyist for the health insurance industry. Wow big surprise there.
One day americans need to wake up and see that the best interests of the health insurance companies and the politicians in their pockets are not at all in line with the interests of the average citizen.
For now though, we are stuck with the current system. The links at the end of this article lead to web sites with many online health insurance companies offering free quotes; so you can comparison shop for the most affordable low cost health insurance coverage.
