Too many folks already have their minds made up about so-called "socialized" health care, when no one really knows what it would entail because we don't have any such system yet. When we do, it'll have to be implemented gradually.

Chances are here that for people who're already insured, it'll be very much like it is right now. As is the case in countries with fully socialized medicine, the wealthy and highest-earning types will still likely have better care and more options. That's not fair, but it's reality. If you don't have to wait for your checkups now, Reb, you can't automatically assume that because people in other countries have to wait that it'll be the same way here if our system changes. Here it'll have to be a combination public-private system, which isn't how it works in other countries.

The important thing--and this is the most important message from Moore's film, in my opinion--is that by implementing some sort of system to cover the health-care-less and woefully underinsured, we'll be doing something that benefits our country as a whole and not just a chosen few. It's shifting to a "we" mentality from an "I" mentality. It's like the idea upon which education access is based on in this country: everyone benefits from an educated society, not just the people who have kids. The same would be true of health care. And the benefits would extend worldwide in the case of health care for all.
