I want to start off by saying this class was great. I really enjoyed taking this class, it has taught me a lot of things about women's health. I think the number one thing that caught my attention was the movie Sicko. That was an eye opener. I believe everyone should see this movie. Just knowing these types of things go on in our country and we are supposed to be the most powerful and richest. Countries with less resources than the USA have free health coverage and are ok with that. What does that say? These insurances are just worried about getting paid and not actually helping people. Denying care to a little girl that ended up dying but could have been prevented. The people that were being dropped off in front of another facility to get help when they should have just stayed at the first hospital. The insurance companies are ruthless and do not care. How can they as people feel ok with doing these things. If I worked for one of those companies and I knew these things went on, I would have to quit. I would probably report them as well but don't know if that would do anything. We are people! I think if everyone saw this movie a lot of people's views would change about free health care. I could go on and on about this movie but I won't. This movie was a great assignment although I think it should be required. Again, this class was awesome and would recommend to everyone and anyone. Thanks for all of your hard work professor!
