12/19 Sick to death
If you haven’t seen Michael Moore’s latest film, “Sicko,” I recommend you rent it immediately, because it will help our population problem… you’re likely to hop the next plane out of Dodge. It’s difficult to watch this film without immediately wanting to book a flight to somewhere more humane in its medical treatment: France, UK, Canada and Cuba are mentioned in the film, but there are 36 countries that have better health care than we do in the US.
As a UK spokesperson points out in the film, “If you can find money to kill people, you can find money to help people.” If we weren’t wasting our resources on futile battles in the Middle East, we could give health care to everyone in this country. It’s shameful the way we put profits before people in our culture.
