NTSC DVD Documentary look at health care in the United States as provided by profit-oriented health maintenance organizations (HMOs) compared to free, universal care in Canada, the U.K., and France. Moore contrasts U.S. media reports on Canadian care with the experiences of Canadians in hospitals and clinics there. He interviews patients and doctors in the U.K. about cost, quality, and salaries. He examines why Nixon promoted HMOs in 1971, and why the Clintons' reform effort failed in the 1990s. He talks to U.S. ex-pats in Paris about French services, and he takes three 9/11 clean-up volunteers, who developed respiratory problems, to Cuba for care. He asks of Americans, "Who are we?" www overget com

FenixII (2008-02-14)

Well, this is not an american problem. It's a global one. My father died 3 years ago from cancer in the blessed socialist state of Sweden.
Cancer isn't an easy disease to cure, and chances are the outcome would have been the same no matter how the healthcare system here would have worked, but here's the story:
First they wouldn't recognize that it was cancer, said his pain indicated a bowel problem (he knew it wasn't so, since he had a history of bowel problems and could separate his lunges from his stomach.)
He fought to get a proper diagnose for more than a year.
Later, when diagnosed, it took almost six months for his treatment to start, despite our constant efforts to speed up the process.
Chemo started first, radiation treatment was not available due to amongst others understaffing for another coupple of months.
Meanwhile his situation worsened, and the cancer spread from his lounges to his spine, leaving him in terrible pain. So they drug him with morphine. (wich was basically good I guess)
The problem was, he was completely out all the time for over two weeks until we realized that they had been giving him a deadly dose on a daily basis. It was a miracle that he survived this. At first they refused to let us see his journals.
He died a little more than six months after being diagnosed, but close to three years after making the diagnose himself.
So that's the way it looks in Sweden, where we're supposed to have public healthcare that is equal for all. Stressed doctors doesn't care to make a proper analysis or listen to the patient. People die for no reason.
Another friend of mine became gradually paralyzed in her arms after a routine operation, and it was only when she managed to get her journals through a doctor at another hospital that she realized that the staff where she had been operated knew they had fucked up - THEY DIDN*T EVEN TELL HER; JUST TRIED TO HUSH IT ALL UP.
FUCK swedish healthcare!!

Fuck you Fenix. By starting off with the silly 'blessed socialist state of Sweden' you've just insured that no-one will believe your bullshit story. You're not even denying that your dad got to see a doctor immediately when he wanted one. And, the most important thing, your dad didn't have to ask a fucking HMO or insurance company for the treatment. That is what this movie is about. If your dads doctor had said he needed to go to the emergency room immediately, he'd done that. No reason to involve any insurance companies what so ever. If the doctor deemed it necessary to do some immediate surgery, THEY'D FUCKING DO IT. I've been there and my doctor send me immediately to the hospital. Since my situation was critical I got the operation straight away.
So, don't talk bullshit about stuff that you don't know shit about. Thank god for socialist swedish healthcare!
btw. I say this since I've lived a long time in the US and know how fucked up it is there.

one guy for social healthcare another not for it. Hitler once said about differing opinions that it was like lemonade. He wanted people divided.
the question is simple - what is right? is it right that some will have to go without healthcare, that most cannot afford it? What's right? My father had TB in 1955, without the NHS, he would have died. Is that right? Walk on by. Don't look out for your community or country. just look out for no.1. - numbers are for nazis. its people.

Thank you I live in Canada!Not quite socialist healthcare, not near as horrible as the american healthcare. I was visiting the states with a friend once, we where in Colorado Skiing and he broke his leg it cost over 1000$ to have it set and cast, which would have been free back home. We have never been back, its been 4 years I don't believe I will ever go back.

Would anyone who has downloaded this care to comment on the quality of the actual torrent?
Please leave the anecdotal arguments of the pros and cons of a national health system and the random unnecessary comparisons to Nazi Germany to the appropriate fora. Like for example YouTube. Thank you.
