Sicko

No. I'm not going to talk about the movie Sicko. However, I got pretty interested with the heated debate between the director of Sicko, Michael Moore and the CNN Health Correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta on the Larry King talk-show on July 10th 2007. The topic of discussion is obviously about the health care system in the U.S. where Micheal tries to condemn it and the government as well whereas Sanjay tries to defend it and claims that the facts that Micheal brought upon are half-true. I know it doesn't really concern us, but just take a look at it.

Who came up on top?? It'll definitely be an entertaining watch if you love debates.










After watching it, IMO, I definitely think that Dr. Gupta beats Micheal fairly easy by mocking him and beating him down with the facts (Loved it when he says that Micheal is speechless). I mean Micheal keeps on complaining the same facts as in the numbers and people in Iraq whereas I'm sure Dr. Gupta has gone through some extensive research. I mean he chooses the facts published by so-called unauthorized company (I can even make a movie that is that biased if I can simply picked which source I would like to use as my reference).

However, I'm in no right to say whether Micheal or Dr. Gupta is right or wrong since I'm not living in U.S. It also makes me wonder how bout the health care system in MALAYSIA??? I have checked that according to World Health Organization, Malaysia is currently ranked at number 49!!!!!! (We are just few rank below U.S.)Meanwhile, its neighbor country, Singapore is ranked at number 6 (how come Singapore has such high ranking,eh??),luckily Indonesia is worse than us at number 92. LOL. I'm not sure any of you have been to any government hospital in Malaysia. From my experience, it's pretty bad actually where you have to wait and wait and wait before it's your turn (I will stop here...)
