Who else wants to move to France or Canada?

Watching the video in class discussing our health care system versus health care in other countries around the world has really had me thinking why does everyone think America is so great?  I cannot believe all the stories these individuals are sharing regarding their horror stories about their health insurance. How can these companies be so careless and not give a second thought about what happens to all of the individuals who are denied the care that they need? Why is this even allowed to happen? If I worked for an insurance company I  would not be able to sleep at night knowing how so many people are suffering from medical issues simply because the company does not want to pay for their treatments, surgeries, nor medication. These individuals would rather make more money for themselves than to use it to help someone in need. How can these companies be so selfish and not care about helping save someone's life? This issue is just yet another example of how money can be an influence and how it gives you power over others which is sickening and unbelievable. The checks these insurance companies and doctors are receiving should be based on the number of patients they are helping to get healthier, not for the number of individuals they reject from getting assistance. I feel like going home and telling my family to pack their belongings because we need to get the heck out of here. Imagine living in a country where we do not have to worry or stress about having to pay for healthcare or education? Life would definitely be less stressful!

  1. The things happening with our healthcare system aren't great by any means but I don't believe a president can change what has already evolved in our country. And how do we know that what works in France and Canada will work in the United States? Do we need to try to make changes? Absolutely. But I don't think we should just follow the actions of fellow countries. And no matter the circumstances there will always be people who won't agree with the changes. This country is a crazy place and it's insane how out of control politics and policies have gotten. I wish there was a clear answer.
