Thanks for your comments. You are 100% right. Having been raised with a sense of social commitment and responsibility in Canada, I believe completely in a universal healthcare program. Corinne has actually had to ask Doctors here to look at her while speaking to her, rather than looking at her chart. I grew up with the same Doctor for decades — so they knew me, my family, my history…and they actually cared. As a Canadian, we all realized that part of our responsibility was to ensure adequate, equal healthcare and education for our population — so that the children would grow up to become a healthy and educated middle class.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Thanks for an interesting discussion.

What is the real solution, if Michael Moore’s government sponsored universal health care is not the answer?

The crux of the “SICKO” documentary is the disconnect between our expectations and the reality of health care. We are expecting compassionate care from another human being, and instead we get a faceless corporation. The person behind the desk or window is an agent of a health care corporation, which is not a human being, whose primary goal is to increase corporate profit.

This is America, and corporate profit is good, the profit motive forming the basis America’s greatness. The basic problem is that a corporation is not a human being. Therein lies the fallacy of replacing a corporation with a government agency, neither of which is a human being, when what we really want is a human being to deliver compassionate health care, and assist in serious health care decisions.
