After watching the Documentary “Sicko” I was disgusted, I was embarrassed to live in a country that would do this to their own people. I was surprised that almost fifty million Americans are uninsured, and those that are insured are victims of insurance fraud. Why pay for insurance when the people the run the company are going to try to stop you from using it.

The fact that the government in quotes, does your laundry, doctor house calls don’t cost a thing, and how you get so many days off after given birth, makes me thing is America doing anything right. Moore made a couple of good points when he pointed out that the U.S. gets free education, library, parks, public transportation, but is that enough to make up for us not having a good health plan. Thru out the film there were many real life stories told and the one that made me question people and life was one incident that happened in California. When a lady rushes her baby to the nearest hospital because her baby had a high fever and was denied treatment due to their health care provider, which led to the baby death. Listening to this made me feel devastated, angry, sad, and frustrated, feelings that I wish I never have to feel when it comes to our health
