So I watched Sicko last night, Are you really afraid of your government as they said?

Question

I believe America is a great nation made of hard work of equally great and simple people, but your government sucks! Why you do join all together and make a big strike to show the government that you are sick of working without having a real life, what 's worse without a government that care for their people!!

(I just to live in US, but to tell you the truth I now here in Italy have a life, less stress, I work.. but not as much as in US just to have material stuff, I now have moments with my husband, we HAVE vacaTIONS! the ones that you really enjoy! so, I think is up to you americans... I have many relatives in your country and I am concern about them too.

Sorry, I wanted to say: I USED TO LIVE IN United States of America... sorry.

PLEASE, I AM NOT ASKING FOR AN OPINION ABOUT MOORE, I AM TALKING ABOUT THE SYSTEM? Are you happy with it, if NOT why NORTHamerican DO NOT make something about.. if you are happy! tell me your experience with health care.

Answer 1

I live in beautiful Australia where no one ever asks "have you got insurance" when you see a doctor. Also we have reciprocal health care agreements to share Italy's health care system when on holidays, as well as UK, Finland, Netherlands, New Zealand and many more.
America is a great country, full of hard working people, but do they realise they spend more on administering (read 'denying payment') their health care systems than Australia spends on its TOTAL health care (600 billion USD) in total, including pharmaceuticals, hospitals everything.
I worked for Medicare for 13 years and we regularly sent delegations overseas and to the USA see Clinton, who wanted to model your system on ours - but then Bush got in and that was the end of that. Even Turkey bought our plans but you got Bushed!

Answer 2

The problem with America is that thepeople Havent made the government politicians truly work for us.
Instead they work for themselves.

Its majority rules here, and until more people band together and voice their opinion as to what we need and deserve, then those opposed then things will continue.

Republicans have always been that group of wealthy people who came from wwealthy people and had their money, and most will do whatever it takes toprotect their money and the repuke way of life.
Its the way its always been -- rich stay rich at expense of others..and since their families were in politics..thats what they do.

So its up to the people to assemble and bring justice to washington.
Until then the repukes as a whole, will benefit off us.

Republican motto is republican first,whats best for america second!!!!
No one proves that better than this current administration, and the republican part of congress who keeps allowing him tocontinue his way

Answer 3

while CNN first got here on the national scene it grew to become into particularly independent. Ted Turner owned it and he grew to become into particularly conservative. returned the community grew to become into on the instant information. Then Ted tried to purchase CBS. That frighted the hell out of the Northeast Liberal organisation. the belief, a Southern redneck possessing the Tiffany community. My God in Heaven! presently there after, Ted morphed into liberal Ted. Now those self same liberals love him. CNN grew to become into offered with the help of Time-Warner and we get Wolf Blitzer's amazing on a daily basis diagnosis. Even nevertheless, CNN isn't as biased as MSNBC (yet one greater reason to hate invoice Gates). those adult men are greater the comedy channel. as a count of certainty Colbert has greater credibility than any of those chuckleheads on MSNBC.

Answer 4

I agree...my country sucks as s. The government does not give a shi t about us. They only care to get richer and gain power.

Answer 5

I am not afraid of my government any more than I am afraid of people like Michael Moore. Every situation has two sides and people who insist that I believe as they do (and Moore can be accused of that as well as Bush) or else scare me. Remember that he is a Hollywood filmmaker, and they have the tools to make anything seem plausible, and most of Hollywood has a liberal slant. I take everything they say the same way I take Fox news, with TWO handfuls of salt, as we say here in my part of Virginia.
I am glad you are happy in Italy. But I am American, want to be here in America, and it is up to us to decide how are country should be regarding health care, etc. And despite what Moore and his ilk think, the majority of common everyday Americans (of which I am proud to say I am) are smart enough to decide for themselves no matter how hard they try to shove their agendas down our throats and into our brains.

Answer 6

“I don’t own a single share of stock!” filmmaker Michael Moore proudly proclaimed.
He’s right. He doesn’t own a single share. He owns tens of thousands of shares – including nearly 2,000 shares of Boeing, nearly 1,000 of Sonoco, more than 4,000 of Best Foods, more than 3,000 of Eli Lilly, more than 8,000 of Bank One and more than 2,000 of Halliburton, the company most vilified by Moore in “Fahrenheit 9/11.”
Moore is a fraud, and nothing more than a modern day court jester, here for entertainment. He is not taken seriously in any political arena

Answer 7

I agree...I don't think that our government really cares about the people...all they care about is how to get them richer. I also watched that movie, and it made me hate my government more than I already did.

Answer 8

Michael Moore is a fraud. While I do believe that U.S. health care sucks, I wouldn't go looking to him for answers... he thinks he's big because people liked the way he bashed Bush. It doesn't make him right.

Answer 9

I'm not afraid. I have all of the tools necessary to make my life what I want it to be.

Answer 10

that movie is a lie and if you believe that lie you will not understand
