After watching Sick-O, my views on the health care system had managed to change. I do not enjoy the idea of how difficult it is to actually get health care in places like North America. Even if you have insurance, they make it so hard to achieve the proper medication that you could end up dying before they would even think about giving you the proper treatment. However, I think that the health care agencies should care about the people, because the people support the agencies with their insurance money.

I like how the health care system works in places like Europe, where they actually care about the people of the societies. Their health care system allows for you to stay in their hospitals for free, they make sure you are provided with the proper medication, and they even pay for you gas money to get to the hospital. I think that every country should have a health care system like this, because the people of the country are the most important part to maintaining their societies. The people support the governments by paying the tax, and they support the economy by purchasing the items.

The film showed us how hard some families have in the United States, where some families must always continue to work just to keep their insurance, or the fact that their health care doesn’t cover everything. An example of this is when the guy cut of two of his fingers and had to decide which one was more important to attach. This would be an extremely difficult choice for anyone to make, especially since it was his ring finger and middle finger. He had to decide what was more important, giving people the finger, or using the ring finger to keep his wedding ring on.

The health care system should be provided for free to all the people of the society, as the society needs to keep the people alive in order to maintain societies and keep them functioning.
