Health Care Assignment --- Thoughts from Class

In class & extra thoughts:

When we were watching SiCKO the film gave us a much needed look in to the lives of the people that don’t have it all. Here in America things are made to look like everything is fine and that life is all good. There is a part in the film where Michael Moore takes a bunch of people to Cuba, where they then get free health care and cheap drugs. Someone asks if they can get in trouble for doing that, and Andy said “the Cubans are very good at differentiating the American Government from the American people” (Andy, AWOL 4/23/09). I thought that that was a good point, it made me think about how we as a people are separate from our government and in the end its us against them, and we out number them so what the hell?!.
