Yet those cases are the exception not the rule. Seriously, people go bankrupt every day over health care costs and the insurance companies work harder at denying claims than they do at covering their paying customers.

Well hang on. The exception to the rule is those who do go bankrupt over insurance senarios. Most Americans do fine with it. Example: someone who has a serious medical condition say cancer and has no health insurance would have to foot the bill. that is really the exception. Reality is Americans are healthy by numbers and those unfortunate people(and yes it can happen to anyone) can get caught.

In the last 5 years health insurance premiums have doubled while coverage has dropped. This is a broken system and while you personally may not have had any negative encounters with it, millions of Americans do. Facts simply do not bear out your Rosy picture of private, for profit health care. I suppose it goes without saying that you have refused to watch Sicko? The heartbreaking situations depicted in the movie are reality for millions of Americans.

I saw it, and its true...but overemphasized, come on Mike Moore throws a little more salt in the soup. Plans do go up but coverage isnt retracked. U just pay more is all.

It is long past time to junk this corrupt Capitalist health care system in favor of Single Payer that actually serves the people, not fat cat insurance executives and their stock holders. A human being`s health is not something that should be based on profit; this system is immoral and needs to be abolished

It will never happen wanna know why. Because the Doctors and their lawyers and the insurance companies and their lawyers and the politicians and thier insurance lobbying buddies along with their lawyers will never give up their livleyhood.
I beleive our system of health care is way to far advanced with too many fat cats including those in politics with strings attached and insurance companies with arm twisting tactics for anything else to be put in place.
