Health care: law or business?

Hi everybody! This time I’ll write my point of view about a documentary called “Sicko”. This documentary investigates health care in the United States, focusing on its health insurance. Besides this film compares health system in the United States with health system in others countries as Canada and English.

At the beginning, the documentary shows health problems of people who don’t have a health insurance. Then, you can see interview with people who are often victims of insurance companies. In general, this film shows the deficiencies that have health system in United States, also the inequalities into the system and economic problems of the people who have been defrauded by its insurance company.

Then, the documentary shows health system in the English. In this country health system is based National Health System (NHS), which is funded with taxes people and administrated by government. The NHS is public system free all the people and this provides an excellent health care. I really liked it.

This film made me think about the health system in Chile. In my country, the health system public is free for some people but the quality of the system is very poor even. I think the government needs to invest more resources in the health care public because we current system causes a lot of social inequity. I feel that at this time the health system in the English is a utopia for us.

Health care is a law for the all people, for this reason is very important to have a good health system in the countries.

That’s all,
See you soon
