SummaryAccording to the National Coalition on Healthcare, nearly 47 million Americans go without health insurance (NCHC 2008). That means that sixteen percent of the American population cannot afford to get treated when they are sick, injured, or possibly dying. Within that number, seventy percent are employed. Therefore, the statistics show that middle class American’s are either not being paid enough to cover the expense of healthcare, or that the healthcare system has changed from a service industry into a manufacturing industry where supply and demand override quality of life. This issue has spread into the public mainstream via pop culture avenues, such as Michael Moore’s documentary Sicko, which promotes socialized medical care by comparing foreign policies with America.
