I got a chance to see the Michael Moore movie, "SiCKO". And I must say, it's really getting me to think about the many hypocrisies within our government. It's crazy to think that we have entrusted and even have elected people to lie to us, on a daily basis. Is being rich and powerful really that important in the United States?

I thought slavery was outlawed in 1865. But if you were to really look at how the government uses policies to hurt the people who are supporting the government, it's almost like a hidden servitude, that only enriches the powerful and punish the poor. So, who are the rich and powerful and who are the weak?

Insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies have much gain on Capital Hill. They are so deep in the pockets of politicians; you would think that the devil, "itself", has an office. Because many of us are being fooled to think that we have affordable healthcare, when in fact, the only thing that we can afforded is staying out of the healthcare system.  Because once you get in, you begin to get sicker than you were before you became ill.  All in the name of medicine for profit. 

Anybody who has had to pay insurance through COBRA already know what a pain it is to have to keep up with the premiums.  The only way to really get any kind of healthcare, in the U.S., is through an employer.  And even then, a person can still be turned down for healthcare, depending on which healthcare provider they have chosen or was chosen through their employer.  This really is sick.  I mean, in a land of opportunities, one would expect to benefit from their hard labor.  But instead, it's the hard labor that is not only going to kill them, but also leave hugh amounts of debts for their loved ones.  It's enough to really make you throw up.  But there again, depending on what kind of healthcare you have, you might get turned down for experimental stress.  What ever that is. 

Is there such a thing as an honest politician?  I mean, show me an honest politician and I'll show you the reasons why the Mona Lisa is smiling.  So dark, the con of man.  The hypocrisies within the U.S. government are greatly rewarded by the hands of its contributors.  And all this time, I didn't know that our government was so easily for sale.  But maybe I should have "paid" more attention in civics class.  Then I wouldn't have to worry about getting older and hoping if I'm still able to get some kind of quality healthcare.  Because it would appear that if you don't know the rules of the game (healthcare policies), then you're bound to lose more than just your pension.

The movie, "SiCKO" , not only got my attention but also left a bad taste in my mouth.  No, I don't need a dentist.  Lord, I hope not.  But it made me wonder how much can one truly believe about the movie.  And if it those claims are true, then it's time to send every crooked politicians, insurance and pharmaceutical lobbyist to jail.  Because they have made a profit from the suffering of others.  And this is evil.  Pure evil.  Why must we continue to listen to the lies of our own government?  They can't even pass a decent immigration bill.  Not unless it had a huge kickback coming from it. 

To the reader:  What do you think about your healthcare provider?
