Healthcare

It's hard to believe that in other countries the health care systems seem so easy and carefree as Sicko showed. The whole time we were watching it I was thinking of how badly i want to move to one of those countries in fear of something bad happening to me here in the United States and not being able to afford it. What Sicko didn't inform me on was the waiting lists they have in those countries. In Dead Meat it talks about the wait Canadians must go through to get in to see a doctor because they have a national health care system. Canadians interviewed said it it nice that it's free, but the waiting lists are sometimes life and death situations and the quality of care is not top of the line. According to the article, the U.S. is the second best nation in quality of health care. In Dead Meat i though the analogy of the veterinary clinics was a good point. Having a tremendous amount and specialty clinics drove down the cost and many clinics gave special benefits because each is trying to compete for customers. If only we could translate that into the American health care system. I don't understand everything on health care, I just know we definitely need a change.
