In Holland, there is also the waiting problem. But there is always a way out here. We always can go to Belgium or Germany who do not have these problems. That is not a problem wich lies in the medical care, but a gouverment who does not do the right things. Like in France and England. There is a hope discussion about it. Holland is now lead by right wing parties. Hope in the next elections the socialists have the majority, then it will get better, like it was ten years ago. Here the right wing only looks at the money, while the left wing looks for the care and the people. All the stories told in your country about socialism is not the way we see it. It is more how christianity should be in practic. The strong looks after the week. They do not hate rich people, they hate poverty in a rich world.

Someone just posted a few weeks ago some facts about Canadian health care with its waits and all. I know one local family from Canada who had a family member there die while waiting for treatment for an easily fixable problem. I don't know what the answer to the health care crisis is, but I don't think that's it.

A part of the film was in Europe, France and England. I know the systems there, the basic what he showed in the film was right. But it is not that way in all the countries, but the basic in Europe is the same. In principal, everyone is insured, sick or healthy. Part of the social system. As Dutch, my insurance works also in Spain and other countries. Fact is also, (what was not in the movie) when I become in an hospital in a cheaper country, my insurance forced me to stay there for the complete treatment and let me come back when I am completely done. What he showed from the States. The samples he showed were picked out, to show how bad it is. I can look through that. BBut how do you think about the movie, or is it not in the cinema's there. Who has seen it (it is on the internet to download, in the newsgroups) and what are the reactions about you from the States?
