Thread Name: BS: Michael Moore 'Sicko'
Subject: RE: BS: Michael Moore 'Sicko'
I saw two interviews with Moore. Both concentrated on his trip to Cuba with 911 responders who could not get treatment here in the States. They are now subject to arrest.
It is no secret that our health care system only provides health care for people can afford it or people who can't and have the persistence to work through the system. The middle class is screwed.
I pay $300 a month for health insurance with a $5000 deductible. It does offer some discounts on prescriptions and a $20 discount per office visit. Most years my health costs plus insurance premiums exceed $8000. But I have to have it or risk losing my home and retirement savings if I am in an accident or seriously ill. $8000 a year for a healthy woman with high blood pressure and a thyroid that can't decide if it is overactive or under.
