Sicko, by Michael Moore is also premiering at the same time the iPhone is now available - I wonder if the two are linked, if nothing else, by timing. I did my iPhone Review and have been getting close to a 100 visits an hour to my blog - being in position 5 for iPhone Review in Google today.
There is a slight uptick for Michael Moore's documentary today - nothing much compared to the iPhone - also on June 17th, a similar spike occurred.
But ….the Sicko documentary is another matter, I haven't written about it before but Eclectic Commons has with the post on Is There A Doctor In The House? On “Sicko” - A Second Look At Accessibility Of Health Care In The US where doc Jon Percepto points out that there's no perfect solution to the Healthcare Issue and it's not a simple as adopting a Health Care system similar to Canada's.
…
The only two choices that have been presented to date are: government control of the medical care system (socialized medicine, as in Canada) which needs a lot of thought and consideration, or a private-sector Medical Care system whose accountability remains more involved with its investors. What we have now is a split between private sector control (accessible for those who can afford it) and a public medical care system for others who can’t (Medicaid). We also have non-profit medical providers which are supported partially by the government and private donations."
The problem, according to Percepto is there's only two choices an that's not enough - we need more options.
"…It is very frustrating that solutions to this problem remain bi-polar. No new creative ideas. I believe the United States can do better. The answer won’t come from politicians alone. They will have to come from all of us."
