White Collar Crime Fall 2011

           Sicko
I liked the movies Sicko. It points out many major flaws in the United States healthcare system,

but Michael Moore is pretty jaded, and his views are so liberal. I admit change is needed, but I

do not think those changes should involve government paying the way through more income tax.

Ultimately, I do not want the government to pay for anything for me, but unfortunately, if

something were to happen to me, then through the government, taxpayers would have to fit the

bill. Believe me, I by no means feel right about it, but what other choice do I have right now?

Until I graduate, and hopefully, make enough money to pay for insurance myself, it is the only

option I have other than classification at John Peter Smith. For the most part, I refrain from

doctor’s visits anyway. I find that I can usually cure whatever problem I am having naturally.

Most American’s look to a doctor to cure them with some sort of pill that FDA has approved.

Doctors risk consequences from the medical board if they recommend supplements that the FDA

has not approved. The FDA is probably the biggest problem associated with the outrageous

costs of healthcare today. If it did not cost companies so many millions of dollars in research,

then they would not have to charge so much for new medications. Large policyholders get tax

breaks, but someone who buys a private policy gets no tax break. None of it makes any sense to

me. The more I read, the more I am disturbed. It is going to take more than just healthcare

reform to fix this. I think that American’s are much more aware of the problems going on with

our government today than they have been in the past, but there is always a way for the rich to

manipulate there way back into the shining light in American’s eyes. The changes in healthcare

lie within the American people. Elaborating on those changes is something I think I should just

keep to myself.
