Watched Sicko!!

My long wait was over yesterday..I want to see this movie atleast another time to grasp all of what michale is conveying in this movie. It is oriented towards healthcare in the US, in comparison to other western countries. Asian countries like India are not in his theme. But it does have an impact on any middle clasee youth, who thinks he/she  has everything settled. Because this is the path which our country is wanting to follow!!in the name of globalisation..yes..ministers and leaders, we all need to see this shout from our fellow american friend, who is pointing to us the issues in the system we want to follow!!!

Few months ago, I have seen in an NDTV article, about how a woman has been denied life insurance after her husband’s untimely pass away. Any guarantee this companies give are only till the time you buy the insurance. I dont think any one who signs a insurance or health care policies, is aware of the terms and conditions of the policy, or if any marketing agent educates the customer of the terms and conditions before they sign in for insurance. Even if you want to study and understand all these terms and conditions, you need atleast 2 lawyers and big thesarus near you and one day of youtr time to understand these..If you sit down and understand the terms, most of us wont be willing to sign in for a policy.
All these terms and conditions are designed so as to give loop holes for the companies on any issues, and not of any help to the customer!Only if healthcare is provided by government, and implemented fairly, it will be unbiased. think about it..why do we need governance for a country!!why all of us pay taxes!!what are all the basic things we would be needing our  governance for? and what and how we wud want the tax money to be  spent !!

Lets Take it from home, how a family spends the money it earns..what is the priority we spend them on

1.Food

2.Shelter

3.Health

4.Education

5.Entertainment

6.Investment for future

Am I right in my order?May be 5 &6  can be interchanged..So to my simple mind, it seems fair to apply the same logic to governance, if it is people friendly, like family is..but are our governments doing this?do we reallly shout out and ask our governments to do this?do we even think/realise this is the order government should invest on and voice our opinions..it wud mean that agriculture, main stream for making our food requirements and healthcare for all should be given more priority by the government and made sure everyone gets necessary food items at fair price..How a government can do it better? By outsourcing the responsibility to a private enterprise or by doing it by itself? What would be the priority of a private enterprise if it owns these services?make  more returns from the investment and keep share holders happy or provide everyone services at fair price?

If we want government to take control and not let private enterprises enter all the necessaery services, we should examine it and voice our opinion.All the changes cannot be made by one individual leader/hero..the revelation should start from inividuals..lets start thinking before we drown in to these mess ..
