Is more insurance better, or less?

When I watched this documentary, I always had an idea in my mind that the
government has the responsibility to protect the basic livelihood of the people, but is it better to have more or less of this kind of protection?

Many friends around me want to go to the United States because I heard that it is good, and I always think that the United States is very good. Although it is said to be "the battlefield of the young, the grave of the old", but when I read it, I think there is something better than the United States. place. But after reading it, it’s not right. If the country pays the bill, there must be two reasons: one is that they are richer, and the other is that there are fewer people, which makes them tossing so much.

But the European system is really like the film said. So good? I don't think
Europe's high welfare is based on their high tax rates and the positive role of the EU in the economy, but aging, rising unemployment, and economic recession are all threats to their security system, and such a system is easy to breed. Laziness, such a society will gradually lose its vitality. After all, laziness is one of the original sins of human beings. On the
other hand, the United States, a country of immigrants, the vitality of the economy comes from an endless stream of small businesses and individual entrepreneurs. Google and Microsoft are all small and small. Come out of the workshop. Such a society is a competitive society, and economic interests come first. It is like living in a jungle. Of course, big companies are like large carnivores in the forest. They need to eat a lot to avoid starvation. This is not them. It's wrong, but what is

the government doing at this time when the victims in the film who can't afford medical treatment are created ?
One of the funniest shots in the film is when Bush walks out with a label close to a million on his head. Once the government wears a pair of pants with these insurance companies, then this jungle is a real virgin forest, absolutely preying on the weak. If you want not to be eaten by others, you must either eat others and become bigger and stronger, or you have to beg God tremblingly all day long not to let bad things happen to you!

Sicko quotes

  • Michael Moore: I'm wondering why you expect your fellow Canadians, who don't have your problem, why should they, through their tax dollars, have to pay for a problem you have.

    Canadian: Because we would do the same for them.

    Michael Moore: Yeah, but...

    Canadian: It's just the way it's always been, and so we hope it'll always be.

    Michael Moore: Right. But if you just had to pay for your problem, and don't pay for everybody else's problem - just take care of yourself.

    Canadian: Well, there are lots of people who aren't in a position to be able to do that. And somebody has to look out for them.

    Michael Moore: Are you a member of like the Socialist party here?

    Canadian: No, no.

    Michael Moore: Green party?

    Canadian: No. Well, actually I'm a member of the Conservative party. Is that bad?

    Michael Moore: Well, it's just a little confusing.

    Canadian: Well, it shouldn't be. I think that where medical matters are concerned, it wouldn't matter in Canada what party you were affiliated with.

  • Michael Moore: So there was actually one place on American soil that had free, universal healthcare.

    Michael Moore: That's all I needed to know. I went down to Miami, Florida, Got myself a boat, and loaded up Bill, and Reggie, and John, and anyone else I could find who needed o see a doctor, and couldn't afford one. So many people showed up, I had to get a few extra boats. And I called up Donna Smith from Denver, who was now on 9 different medications, and asked her if she'd like to come along. I figured she'd like to get out of her daughter's basement for a while.
