FRONTLINE: Sick Around The World…
Obviously the health-care issue is and has been in everyone’s faces for quite a while now…and for good reason. Check out this piece done by Frontline called ‘Sick Around The World’ to get your learn on. I keep hearing folks say things that sound so ignorant about this issue. I think watching this little diddy might help some folks see the ‘bigger picture’:
It’s amazing how sometimes the solutions to problems seem so simple and yet it’s almost impossible to get the solutions to be put in place. The United States is the ‘melting pot’. How hard is it to take a look around the world, find things that work for other countries, and adopt/restructure according to ‘proven methods’. There are plenty of examples around the world regarding health care systems and track records to see how well they work. It seems obvious that with the United States being the only developed country on the planet that doesn’t provide health care that there is a problem.
It’s amazing how many times I’ve heard people claim things like, ‘Canada? Their system doesn’t work though. They have waiting lists years long for treatments and people have to come to the USA to get proper care.”
It’s cool that Frontline decided to do a little investigating and spread some inside knowledge on this matter.

if you get swine flu in the u.s do you have to pay to get tamiflu capsules?? (tamiflu capsules are the treatment for swine flu)
Yep. As of right now, you can be treated for illness, but you’ll be charged. Most of the time, folks enter into endless dept as a result of not having insurance and either getting in a bad accident or becoming ill and NEEDING treatment. It’s pathetic…
haha i bet that totally suck ass! i could jump off a cliff for no reason get treated immediately and not pay anything
Your country and its’ citizens have not been ‘trained’ to only look out for their bank accounts (above all else). Hopefully Americans will learn (in the near future) that humanity needs to look out for fellow humans.
