Feeling very pleased to be in New Zealand right now!
The first half of this movie brought me to tears. Seeing story after story of people losing their dignity and in some cases the lives of their loved ones, because of the messed up health system in the U.S.A.
I picked up my blood pressure prescription from my doctor today - cost was $0. Then went to the chemist to get tablets for 90 days - cost was $3 (NZ).
This medication keeps me alive. After seeing "Sicko" I suddenly realise how lucky I am to be living in a country where health is considered a human right.
