Every country must provide free healthcare to its citizens 1. I can’t understand why the richest countries in the world don’t do this. It’s shocking 2 that a country can be so rich and let its people die because they cannot pay the hospital. I saw a great movie once on America’s healthcare system. It’s called “Sicko,” directed 3 by Michael Moore. He went to England and France and was amazed 4 that people in those countries didn’t have to pay when they went to hospital. He then went to Cuba. He went with lots of Americans who couldn’t afford healthcare in America. Amazingly, the Cuban hospitals treated them all for free and gave them medicine. They were so happy. I’m sure there’s enough money in the world to provide everyone with free healthcare.
