I know that not all the facts are there. I get that, I know that there is a level of taxes that I would have to pay in order to get this free health care that these other countries have, and I know that there are proably some negatives to it as well. I get all of that. However when I watch Sicko, it makes me really really scared. I am a childfree guy, which means I do not have any kids, and am choosing not to. There was a family who could not afford to pay their medical bills because they got declined, and had to move in with their kids. What the hell am I going to do?!? It made me afraid for my home, my life, my well being. I have savings, but if I get cancer, and denied, then that will all be gone. This movie, will scare the crap out of you.
It is sad, funny, and just plan fucking scary. I at first was a little depressed and as it wore on, I just got upset, sad, scared, and thinking I have to move to France, or Canada, or England. I need healthcare that I don't have to worry about. My deductible is 1000 dollars. I can do these little things that can lower it, but that doesn't count if I get denied, and the way they can deny you, is just scary. What am I supposed to do if I get ass cancer? I am seriously considering thinking about looking at the temperatures of places in Canada…because this movie freaked me out that much.
I think everyone should watch it, but make sure you are prepared to learn to speak French when you decide to move.
