Universal Health Care; it is to laugh?

It's said universal health care (UHC) will cost too much money. "If we can find money to kill people, we can find money to help people" (quote from the Micheal Moore film Sicko). I encourage every American to view the movie Sicko, by Michael Moore. I can't validate everything in it, nor can I say everything is the truth; but I can say it will make you to start asking questions. Why can't everyone get the care they need? I do agree with the film that we have been lied to, and told the wrong things when it comes to UHC. Yes these counties have more taxes, but you pay within your means, and received the care you need; FREE. The rich pay more, the poor pay the least in taxes. Insurance companies dictating what care you will receive must stop, this should be the doctors decision. Why does it cost $120 for a special inhaler Rx in the USA, and 5 cents in Cuba. In Britain, most any Rx is about $10. Our society/government has demoralized, and frightened it's middle to lower class into a "just pay the bill, and hope for the best" attitude. Don't stand up at work, cause any problems, because you may get fired and loose your health insurance. Maybe many people would not need anti-depression drugs and the like, if we did not have such astronomical worries. Americans live several years shorter, than Canadians, Cubans, Britain's, & French. The doctors live comfortably in these countries with UHC. In France, the more patients Doctors help to quit smoking, the more money the doctors make! The time for UHC is now. The insurance companies and drug manufacturers are paying big money to political candidate's campaigns to keep them quiet. Write to your representatives, senators, governors, congressmen now. Watch the movie Sicko, and start asking questions.
