Hi Bill.
There's always two sides to every story but if you search YouTube for interviews on Sicko he always comes up as the guy fighting for the people. Take this video for example.
They try to say he is not telling the truth, but then listen to what he says.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpKoN40K7mA&feature=fvw He might not do things the way everyone agrees with, but the guy does seem to have his heart in the right place. It's too big a subject for me to take sides and I will only ever know a fraction of what you guys do since it's your country and not mine. All I can say is that I hope everyone in America agrees on the fact that the system is not perfect and there is a lot that can be done to move America up that list. People should not die if they cannot afford health care.
37th place for one of the greatest nation on the planet tells me that there is something very wrong with that system. If there is one thing I have learned about America though is that anything is possible. You guys put a man on the moon for crying out loud. If you can overcome those odds surly you can fix the medical care issues.
My only fear is that the type of system your trying to fix is a private system. A company does not put a person before profit. A company is run on pure logic designed to do one thing and one thing only which is to make a profit and to increase that profit each year.
Needless to say I think you guys have a hard hill to climb. Your the only Country in the Western world I know of with a private health care system.
Regards
James
