Actually, the governmen...Melissa, I agree with you! Actually, the government should provide for Free Health care for EVERYONE. I have seen this documentary film SICKO by Michael Moore and I highly recommend everyone leaving in the US to see this film. It is an expose on how this HUGE insurance companies beat around the bush and in the end deny rightful patients the necessary health care they need just so the company can save money! There were so many issues discussed in this documentary -like how other countries like Canada and France to name a few, have FREE medical benefits to their people. . . When you get the chance watch this movie –it’ll be worth your while, Mel.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sj5-fYVHYtc&feature=relatedTeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712003528519056900noreply@blogger.com
