RE: A perspective from the documentary "Sicko" by Michael Moore: Whats going on with our U.S healthcare industry? Part 1
I was the unfortunate victim of the American Medical Association a few years ago. Long story short- Western doctors need you to stay sick so you keep going back to them. Otherwise they could not afford their holidays in Bora Bora.
Amen to that. I am a nursing student & "technically" I should actually support prescription medications but in all actuality I dont. Especially after seeing this documentary and seeing how other countries medical treatment is. Cuba, which the US claimed was evil for a long time thanks to Fidel Castro, actually offers free treatment for ANYONE (even US citizens) ,they also have some of the best technology in medicine, they focus on prevention, & medication there is almost always less than $1. I experienced the same scenario when I visited Lebanon last year. Pharmacies there sell medications for MUCH less than those here in the states which left a really bad taste in my mouth.
