With the recent with the alleged shooting death of that Healthcare CEO in the USA by Luigi Mangione, Film maker Michael Moore has decided to release his 2007 Oscar-nominated film SICKO.

Sicko is a 2007 American political documentary film by filmmaker Michael Moore. Investigating health care in the United States, the film focuses on the country's health insurance and the pharmaceutical industry. Moore compares the for-profit non-universal U.S. system with the non-profit universal health care systems of Canada, the United Kingdom, France and Cuba.

        That's an overly simple take. The vested interests corrupting policy makers and news cycles have a massive role in preventing any decent health care system. And even if a majority of voters in the dumb non-compulsary voting system vote against it (ie for republicans), it still discriminates against those who need but can't afford basic health care.

        I remember speaking to an ex work colleague who said that they preferred US system since he didn't want tax money going to others for healthcare. When i rebutted about the high cost of healthcare in US, he just said he'd have health insurance. Crazy how some would rather pay corporations instead of having affordable healthcare for all

        • murdercluck on 18/12/2024 - 12:27

          US per capita tax (government) costs for healthcare are about the same as Australia's.

          So Americans pay the same amount through taxes that we do for a public system, and on top of that have to fork out AUD $40000/year on average for a family on private insurance.

          I think that the reason for the high US public costs is that the government has to pick up all the desperate cases who couldn't afford health-care or doctors and end up in hospitals. Unless as a society you're willing to let people die on the streets when they can't afford or are ineligible for basic healthcare, your government healthcare costs are always going to be high even with a large private sector.

        Mostly considered a given… For now. The push to Americanise the health care system here is mind boggling, as are the number of people who seem to support the idea.

        • kiriakoz on 18/12/2024 - 12:22

          Yes, I suspect that the only people who genuinely agree with that are people who stand to financially benefit from it. Even if you're rich enough not to need universal healthcare, you know that society is better, safer and more productive if people don't need to worry about being able to afford basic healthcare.

    There may be inaccuracies in this documentary, but the core message is accurate:

    In the US, where medical care is heavily biased to the wealthy class, where costs of healthcare can be astronomical, and availability is limited to people without funds, the average salary of surgeons is absolutely ridiculous (nearly twice that of Australia), as are the profits of health insurance companies.

    The problem is not so much that the US government spends less on healthcare. It's that the majority of that spending is sucked up by health insurance companies and the higher costs of medical care due to the lack of a proper public healthcare system.

        It's telling that the response so far from corporate America hasn't been to examine their own behaviour that has led to this state of affairs (not the shooting itself which is clearly ****ed up, but rather the fact that it has been met with almost universal glee rather than shock) but instead to just spend more on security for senior execs.

      The official story is that Luigi shot the CEO, went to the park, dropped off his backpack full of Monopoly money for no reason, transferred all of the incriminating evidence to a similar but different backpack, wandered around NYC at night for a laugh, changed into slightly different yet similar jacket, grew a unibrow, lost a couple of inches in height, changed skin color, randomly flirted with someone long enough to reveal his new yet slightly different facial features, drove to Pennsylvania for no reason, then walked around for no reason for a week with a signed confession, the murder weapon, 12 grand in cash, and a bunch of fake IDs including the one he used at the hostel that he didn't get rid of for some reason, and a manifesto that first line reads "I support the feds", until a random McDonalds "volunteer" not a worker but a "volunteer" who is 85 years old with cataracts but also batman vision somehow ID'd him across the room?

      Finally after being arrested the first words out of Luigi's mouth to the public as he screams at reporters while being manhandled by police and forced into a holding cell are This is clearly an abduction and an insult to the intelligence of the American people!

    I saw first hand how bad their system is over there. My wife and I were in NY for a holiday where she became ill. After calling the concierge they sent up a GP that administered about 3 different injections including some anti nausea ones. The total we needed to pay out of pocket right there and then was around $6500, they even had a card reader for payment. Lucky we had the ability to pay for it and got it back from the travel insurance but my god I would never go back there in my life if this is how they treat tourists. What would have happened if I wasn't able to pay or someone didn't have a CC/savings? I looked up the different injectings on the CWH site and it totaled like $120 if I remember correctly. I have been to the doctors in Italy a couple of times and never had to pay anything thanks to the agreement we have with them. The USA is complete trash with their healthcare.

        They are already trying to get around the ban on prescription drugs here on TV. You get these ads talking about shingles or some other ailment and they say "Talk to your doctor about shingles". Nothing about what the drug is as that would be illegal here but you can see the GSK logo at the bottom so it's obvious they have a drug that your GP will tell you about. It's 100% disgusting.
