I couldn't watch Sicko still this week. I have watched Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11 by Michael Moore previously. So, I was expecting a good movie.
But, the topic was too close for us, than any other Michael Moore's movie. His way of storytelling with the statistics make us more terrified than a horror movie. It's hard to believe but I found this CNN article. It proves the accuracy of movie statistics. I can say, he has done a great job again to show us the cruelty of political businessmen.
When we think about our own health care system in Sri Lanka, I understood we are also moving towards American way of health care. We believe Prof. Senaka Bibile is a patriot. But that’s true only for medical student, not to medical practitioners. Medical practitioners forget old ethics soon when they pass out from medical faculties.
Our products of free education make the life of society (who funded their studies) terrible with strikes and trade union actions. That’s true from Doctors to labors working in Sri Lankan health care. Doctors work according to pharmaceutical company advices. Political adds the missing corruption element. Private hospitals make the way to insurance companies. So the public, who can afford medical insurance, have to find a protection (?) from insurance companies. Others have to bear the all sort of difficulties to get medical attention.
Finally, I was thinking, are we leading to private hospitals - Insurance merchant oriented health care system?
