I LOVE that movie!
As for free national healthcare (while I am American), I have heard that like anything else, there are pros and cons. Every nation with free national healthcare gets taxed to death for it, BUT I have heard from friends in places like Canada and the UK that the healthcare system *does* take care of you.
I think universal health care would help so many people. Anyone with a "pre existing condition" knows that the cost to SURVIVE is EXPENSIVE without insurance! For instance, I'm a type 1 diabetic. The cost of insulin alone would rack up to $400/month without insurance, and then test strips and other miscelleanous supplies would add almost $200 more.
There was a short time when I had no insurance and no job benefits. I practically stopped eating out of medical necessity
Most medications are incredibly expensive without coverage, so people who are broke and insuranceless often neglect their health because in the US, they pretty much have no other option. ****, hospitals and doctors even treat you so differently without insurance. If you mention a medical concern that you might want checked out (but you don't have insurance), they pretty much ignore you and brush it off, but once you have insurance, your problem suddenly matters...
ALSO, did you know that insurance companies often delay payments until a patient's credit rating is in peril or otherwise impacted? I have seen friends have to bug insurance companies, in spite of the fact that they are paying premiums to these companies, to pay on time even when paperwork is properly submitted. People should not have to have their credit rating jeopardized or have to make a choice between paying the high costs themselves, somehow, even if they are financially stressed to the max...and then hope the insurance company will one day reimburse them.
