Why does US fail to adopt a single payer Health insurance system?
“Nader/Gonzalez favors a Canadian-style, private delivery, free choice of hospital and doctor, public health insurance system.
“Right now, the United States spends $7,129 per capita on health care—more than twice as much per capita as the rest of the industrialized world.”
“And yet, the United States performs poorly in comparison on major health indicators such as life expectancy and infant mortality ”

Too many big pharma and Insurance Companies have made too many big donations to politicians, for one thing. If their profits slow down, the donations might, too.
Too many Americans still buy into the myth of the rugged individualist who doesn’t need any help from anybody, and are too ashamed to talk about it when things don’t actually work out that way.
Americans are generally ignorant of how things work in other countries, and of the fact that there isn’t a single European country whose citizens would vote to abolish their national health services in favor of the for-profit private system we have.

Hospital, The $12.71 Paddy Chayevsky, the scriptwriter of this black comedy, also penned such paranoid classics as NETWORK and ALTERED STATES. He was known for his acerbic work that was often heavy on social commentary. With THE HOSPITAL, Chayevsky is spot on in his satire about modern bureaucracies. As a result, the themes in his films feel very current.Dr. Herb Bock (George C. Scott) is an alcoholic doctor-turned-administrator who tries to manage an overburdened and chaotic hospital with fatal results. In an absurd twist, it appears that they are losing patients left and right; even hospital workers are dying. Bock meets Miss Barbara Drummond (Diana Rigg, of THE AVENGERS), a woman waiting for her father to recover from a coma, and manages to bond with her over the ludicrous situations institutions impose on their patrons. The comedy here attacks the prestige surrounding the medical profession, and this cult favorite still rings true in our HMO age. Luckily, laughter is still the best medicine. THE HOSPITAL earned two Oscar nominations, including one for George C. Scott for Best Actor. |
