Yes it does strike me that single Mums (Moms!) would be the least able to afford healthcare through no fault of their own, and 'Sicko' really did elaborate on the facts which I sort of knew but assumed mustn't really be the case in the US as no society would put up with such a blatantly unfair system for so long.
Now I hear that Obama is coming in for a lot of flack for wanting to provide some form of free healthcare for all, and again as an outsider looking in I just assume it must be a small minority of higher-ups on the Drugs companies payroll giving him flack as surely the majority would welcome such a move.
Of course, I'd imagine that with their tentacles spread all through Congress, the drugs companies will be scare-mongering that America can't afford free health-care (when virtually every other country can) and that such health-care will result in massive waiting lists, poorer care etc when nothing of the sort has to apply if well implemented.
It truly is shocking that it's taken so long for a president to drive this forward, and shocking that anyone openly criticising such a drive isn't shamed by the public and pilloried.
Today is a gift - that's why it's called the Present.
Best Regards,
Chris Redmond.

Unfortunately, Obama really didn’t propose much of anything as far as health care reform other than charging Congress with the responsibility of drafting health care reform legislation. He proposed a general concept and has provided little or no leadership, and the resulting disasters that were drafted in the House and the Senate are nothing more than a list of individual proposals related to health care that will only make things more complicated, and therefore more costly and impractical. Except, of course, for the fact that nothing will get passed in Congress because the public is so afraid of “socializing” anything except for corporate bailouts.
Obama at no time has proposed any type of nationalized health care, and has backed off any proposals that might even seem like such a proposal. The majority of the US public seems perfectly comfortable with the current disaster because the majority of the people don’t really use the “system” much and have no idea how bad things really are, and won’t until they lose their job when they’re in their 50’s and realize that they can’t buy health insurance for less than $3,000/month and they will be headed straight for bankruptcy if they encounter any serious health issues prior to qualifying that awful socialized program, Medicare.
