The health care may be inadequate, but don't overlook the fact that risking your life earns you the deep discounts available at the PX on base. :D That's a kind offer of you and I'll think it over (probably get back to you in an upcoming post as well).

I grew up in Romania, up until I was 16 and then I moved to America with my folks, I must say that the entire social system in the United States is a joke, an absolute joke. I am curerntly serving in the US Air Force and we're supposed to get "top-notch" healthcare....don't even get me started on that one...That's probably why I will move back to Europe somewhere after my enlistment expires next year in June. Say, Romer!can, I'm travelling through Europe and I'll also be in Romania from the 16th-27th of August, do you need anything from here, I'll be glad to help if you do.

Funny to see immigration reversed! I am a Romanian living in Portland, OR. Can't wait to see Sicko! I have insurance through my wife's job which sucks financially. But mainly I use the "United Medical Plan" - as in round trip with United to Romania for anything major and expensive! Pull a wisdom tooth for $5 in RO anyone? Keep up the good work! Hi Romerican!

I now have decided to get off my ass and process my Canadian citizenship(I'm half Canadian 7 entitled). We really don't want to end up old and homeless due to the unfortunate American neglect of the hippocratic oath...seems appropriately named after watching that film huh? What ever happened to the "calling" of becoming a doctor to help people anyway? It used to be that doctors felt they had an internal need to help people...now, it's become a doctor get rich.....marry a doctor, so you'll be rich...I in no way consider myself an overly emotional person, but, while watching this film, and thinking of my own parents, It brought a teer to my eye to see how some people end up in our system.

I believe the film points out some things Americans should take under consideration in a deep and meaningful way. Michel is a highly charged figure. Some love and some hate. There's a lot of vocal opinions about it. Frankly, I don't much care about Michael in this instance. What I do care about is what this film has to say and what it could very well do to wake our sleeping nation up, on this one issue.

Truth is, Michael Moore makes you feel happy and priviledged that you are not living in America. I should have said "Michael Moore's America is scary". God, I sounded so anti-American.
