Health care. Health care. Health care.

If our health care system were as efficient as the health care systems of other industrialized nations, then programs like Medicare/Medicaid could take advantage of these lower costs, and our budgetary problem would virtually disappear. The Center for Economic and Policy Research has a nice graphic that demonstrates this well:

This movie wants to scare you into believing we must roll back entitlement programs and compromise the national safety net. We don’t have to.

Oh come on. a “must watch and wake up call”. A “harbringer of doom”. The USA is not going anywhere. Just get over yourselves. Its exactly our weaknesses that make us survive. We have a near total capitalistic society which is allowed to suceed and fail on its own. Adaptibility is what keeps it strong. Look at the supposed mortgage crisis. The media (and documentaties) would have you beleive that everyone is unable to make payments and losing their homes, when in fact, its 3% of the owners. 97% of mortgage owners are paying on time.

I did see the movie. It raises an issue that concerns me and that is debt….national and consumer. I felt like the average American, who is not into details would not fully comprehend all the details. As someone who is involved in the financial world I had to “read between the lines”. The discussion at the end of the movie was most significant, but again, without any background of the situation the discussion would loose average America. I sat next to a person I would consider an average American, who happens to be on the liberal side. Although the movie tried not to be political, this woman was thrilled when the film indicated anything negative against Bush and Cheney, but at the end of the movie she left apruptly saying, “I’ve heard enough”. One thing that really ticked her off, they stated that the military was only 3.5% of our debt. I believe that we must educate people regarding debt and we need to take a second look at the congressmen who are running our country, but this movie is not the solution. We need to education, beginning with our youth.
