Response to Sicko

Precis:
The freest country ever yet healthcare holds us back from being great. Millions uninsured pray no accident should befall them. But for those who are insured it is still not easy. Insurance companies try everything to not cover their client, with pre-existing conditions, pre-approvals etc. because that is the goal of insurance companies, “the intent is to maximize profit” (Lee Einer). Edgar Kaiser came up with the idea for insurance companies to become a private business with the idea that if they lower medical coverage they will increase profit. In Canada and many European countries health insurance is paid for by the government, and heroes of that country are those who spearheaded the idea. Currently there, it is a human right like shelter or food.
