Now I am truly confused. I just watched the movie "Sicko". I didn't know how long countries like the UK, Canada and even France have had socialized medicine and how well it has worked for them. I just don't know what to think.
Everything I've ever heard or read about socialized medicine, it was described as a nightmare. The people in the movie describe it as a great service. On top of the totally different picture of what it really was, I never once considered the other socialized public services we have in America. I never considered the police departments, sheriff's departments, State Police or the firemen and fire departments not to mention the postal service. Although none of them are perfect, I still appreciate each and every one of them.
So if socialized medicine is actually good for the people of a country, why would anyone not want it. Is it because of the paranoid Americans like myself who fear the socialist or communist governments around the world. Is it the fear of the unlimited power handed to the government and the way the communist countries around the world kill their own people and cover it up. Yeah that's probably it.
So should I be paranoid? Should I try to put some faith in others to do the right thing. Can I trust others to do the right thing? I'm not gonna lie it's a tough concept to swallow. Maybe if the people trying to improve my health didn't have to worry about fighting the insurance company for payment then they may actually be able to concentrate on my health. That's a lot to wrap my head around.
Wow! what if the people who have been influencing me have been lying all along?
