We are not France or Cuba! We are America!

          I know this is going to start many arguments, but this how I felt about the movie we watched today. I think its funny how every time I have been forced to watch a Michael Moore movie, people seem to be sucked into believing that something is horribly wrong with America. First off, Michael Moore and his movies are not made to raise awareness, they are made to make money. Michael Moore has made millions and millions of dollars off of his movies, so you must keep that in the back of your mind and you watch them. First off free socialized medicine is NOT FREE! When you have to pay 40-50% in taxes, on top of a mortgage and gas and groceries, you are not left with much else. In the movie a French engineer and his wife are living comfortably. If Michael Moore really wanted to make a point he would've shown us a low income French persons house and see what they thought. There is nothing wrong with the way our healthcare system is being run. Well, I take that back, Obamacare is already a nightmare. Obamacare has the potential to cripple America drastically. That's what happens when you don't read the bill before you pass them, and you elect elect liberals into the White House.
         Lets look at France and Cuba, the population of Cuba as of 2013 was 11.27 million people. In France, the population was 66.03 million people. That's not a lot of people to take care of, so the quality of care being given to those individuals is better because there are fewer people. In the United States of America, the population was 316.1 million in 2013. With 4 times more people than France and Cuba combined, the healthcare cannot be free and as good of quality as depicted in the movie because there are so many more people. Socialized healthcare would crash and burn due to the fact that it would cost trillions of dollars. In order to provide that kind of quality care, we would have to be taxed even more than we already are. The answer always seems to be easy to liberal leaders. Lets share the wealth. I'm sorry but that's not how this works in America. I am all for helping people out and doing my fair share, but taking more of my hard earned money to provide free healthcare is ridiculous. Middle class families are already taxed way too much as it is. There are hundreds of reasons why America is the greatest country on earth. One of those reasons is Capitalism and freedom. We aren't socialist for a reason, it looks good on paper, but when you apply it to an actual society, it never works. Same goes with Communism.
Another point I would like to make is that when Michael Moore uses Guantanamo Bay as a great place to get healthcare. What they don't tell you is that at Guantanamo is that the reason for the great healthcare is because they torture the hell out of those evil terrorists to get information about future terrorist activities. With all the media coverage, you don't want to see mangled up tortured prisoners, that's where the state of the art medical service comes in. They come in to clean up the mess. Now lets look at Cuba. If Cuba is so great, why aren't more people moving to Cuba to get this wonderful healthcare? Oh, that right because Cuba is a third world communist country run by a fanatical dictator. The only reason more Cuban people aren't in America is because they have decent healthcare to keep them pandering to the communist regime, and they are so poor that they cant afford to leave. If given the opportunity, I can guarantee that more Cuban people would rather be in America. The last point I want to make is that socialism is not all that its cracked up to be. its like the great Margaret Thatcher once said, " Socialism is great until you run out of other peoples money". America is NOT BROKEN, so why do we need to fix it? America is a wonderful country with wonderful people who are looking out for each other. The doctors care about their patients more than most people even know. Social medicine is also not fair to the doctors in any way whatsoever. Doctors should be paid greatly for the service they provide. With social medicine, doctors have to take a pay cut! That is the last thing we need, because Doctors deserve more than that due to the knowledge and sacrifices they make everyday. In the end Michael Moore doesn't care about healthcare, all he cares about is making his movie look like he cares about normal everyday people. All he cares about is looking good for the camera.  I feel sorry for anyone who thinks that Michael Moore knows anything about health, because he is the epitome of health! I feel sorry for anyone who actually believes anything that comes out of his mouth. All Michael Moore's movies are nothing but liberal propaganda, and I feel sorry for anyone who drinks the Kool Aid that he and any liberal is serving. If I would've have known that we were watching this movie in class today, I would've stayed in bed!
