Michael Moore's Health Insurance Documentary
Love him or hate him, Moore's work usually gets people talking, which is a good thing in our opinion. According to the Los Angeles Times, Sicko compares health coverage in the United States with other countries, focusing on France's universal health care system.
Moore also portrays Cuba's health care system as a model for third world countries, despite pressure from the U.S. Treasury Department that Moore violated the Trading With the Enemy Act.
Interestingly, Moore dropped 25 pounds after researching the health care system for several years. Moore states, "One way to fight the system is to take better care of yourself." We at The Insurance HQ have always advocated a healthy lifestyle, so Moore's statement is one that everyone can applaud.
We're definitely going to check out Moore's documentary, and we hope you do, too. Maybe we can learn something about how to improve our health care system by studying other countries.
Many people believe that America needs health care reform, and there's always room for improvement. It's good to know that if you don't get health benefits through an employer, low cost individual and family health insurance plans are available. Getting a good health insurance plan is one of the most proactive steps you can take to protect your health and your finances. Even Michael Moore has health insurance, he's covered through the Directors Guild of America.
