1. Were you aware that people die every year as a direct result of insurances?
I honestly had no idea that so many people die due to the cost of health insurance and not being able to afford it. 18,000 people die a year basically because they can’t financially afford to live, which I find extremely heartbreaking and unfair.
2. Do you think Universal health coverage would work in the U.S.?
In my opinion, I feel like it could if the US wasn’t so greedy and all about the money. In other parts of the world they are more concerned about the healthy lives of people and are okay with what they get paid for being apart of the healthcare field. In the documentary you see a couple that lives comfortably, they aren’t rich, but they are able to have nice things. Whereas here in the US people want more than they really need.
3. What can YOU do to protect yourself (if at all) from insurance abuse?

Just like it was mentioned in the movie, some people just don’t vote because they leave it in the hands of others and just hope for the best to happen, and if everyone doesn’t vote then the people with negative views could win. But, if there were enough people that believed in these positive changes, then it could really create an amazing impact.
5. What is happening to volunteers of 9/11 (regarding getting medical coverage for their injuries)?
Health insurances are saying “they aren’t our responsibility because they are not on our payroll”. 50 million dollars was set aside for volunteers working at ground zero but they made it extremely difficult for volunteers to receive, they had a lot of rules and requirements before one could receive any money for health services; such as from when they started working, how many hours they put into volunteering, etc.
6. What happened to the toddler that had Kaiser Permanente insurance, but that was taken to a non-Kaiser
