My Thoughts

To be quite honest I had not heard much about these systems prior to coming to USC. I had a friend tell me that I HAD to watch SICKO. I knew that any Michael Moore movie would be very opinionated and bias, so I was reluctant to watch it. The little that I have heard about other health care systems is always about how they are more efficient than ours. I am a fan of Universal Health Care, but I don’t believe that we should copy the model that works in another country because it may not work here. I have heard that to be an allied health care professional and get paid well it is better to practice in the United States compared to Canada. I also think that it is very interesting that people having “better” health coverage in other countries still come to the US to have procedures done. I must say that if I was very sick I would want to be in the US to get the best care, because of some stories I have heard about the care that goes on in other countries.
