I watched the Michael Moore movie last night about our health care system compared to the health care systems of Canada, Britain, France, and then Cuba. By the time we got to Cuba, I had tears in my eyes for the September 11, 2001 rescue workers who have been completely abandoned by the Bush administration and who still suffer all manner of ailments from that dreadful experience.
One thing: Michael Moore did not mention anywhere exactly what kind of taxes the people pay to obtain their health care systems. I do believe it's a philosophy that the rich do pay more taxes than what they like to pay in this country. But just think of the hoops ordinary people who are sick have to jump through and how much we have to pay to get taken care of. Those horror stories were awful. I kept thinking of moving to Canada in order to escape this inhumane system we have here in the United States.
