Well, I saw "Sicko" yesterday

And it was really interesting. And funny. And kind of sad when you hear stories about people when they try to get medical treatment. Well, it's more like "What the hell, that makes no sense at all."

Like this one girl was able to get a cochlear implant for one ear, but getting one for two years was considered "experimental."

And this one lady had to pay the bill for the ambulance after getting in a car accident, because the expense wasn't cleared by her insurance company before she got on the ambulance. So basically, she had to make sure it was okay with the insurance company before getting on the ambulance.

There were a whole lot more stories like that. And then even more stories from when he interviews people who work for insurance companies. Supposedly at one company, the more claims you deny coverage for, the more likely you are to get a bonus.

And then Michael Moore talks about other country's health care systems. Mainly Canada, England, and France, where they have universal health care.

And at the end, he took some of the people that he mentioned before to Guantanimo Bay, Cuba, because the prisoners there get good health care. And he was like "They just want the same medical treatment you give to Al-Qaeda." That part was really funny.

So yea, it's a really good movie, and you should go see it.

My New Blog

Well, this is going to be my new blog. I already have two on xanga, and I guess one on myspace and facebook too. But Blogger seems to be the best website for this, since everything is more focused on content, and less on social networking.

So basically this blog is about random stuff - whatever topic goes into my mind at the moment. And hopefully it'll be really interesting to read. But I really doubt anyone will read this at the moment. Maybe in the future, this will be a big thing. That'd be really cool.

I don't really have anything to write right now, but I'll probably have some stuff in a couple of days. I can't wait to start this.

And oh yea, I have another blog on artofproblemsolving.com. So that makes it a total of 6 blogs? I just hope this one will live longer than the others.
