Sicko? The Truth About the US Health Care System
By Andrew Gumbel
The Independent UK
Monday 04 June 2007
Michael Moore's new film is a damning indictment of the way the
world's richest country looks after those who fall ill.
Cynthia Kline knew exactly what was happening to her when she
suffered a heart attack at her home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She
took the time to call an ambulance, popped some nitroglycerin tablets
she had been prescribed in anticipation of just such an emergency, and
waited for help to arrive.
On paper, everything should have gone fine. Unlike tens of
millions of Americans, she had health insurance coverage. The
ambulance team arrived promptly. The hospital where she had been
receiving treatment for her cardiac problems, a private teaching
facility affiliated with the Harvard Medical School, was just a few
minutes away.
The problem was, the casualty department at the hospital, Mount
Auburn, was full to overflowing. And it turned her away. The ambulance
took her to another nearby hospital but the treatment she needed, an
emergency catheterisation, was not available there. A flurry of phone
calls to other medical facilities in the Boston area came up empty.
With a few hours, Cynthia Kline was dead.
She died in an American city with one of the highest concentration
of top-flight medical specialists in the world. And it happened
largely because of America's broken health care system - one where 50
million people are entirely without insurance coverage and tens of
millions more struggle to have the treatment they need approved. As a
result, medical problems go unattended until they reach crisis point.
Patients then rush to hospital casualty departments, where by law they
cannot be turned away, overwhelming the system entirely. Everyone -
doctors and patients, politicians on both the left and the right -
agrees this is an insane way to run a health system.
When Elizabeth Hilsabeck gave birth to premature twins in Austin,
Texas, she encountered another kind of insanity. Again, she was
insured - through her husband, who had a good job in banking. But the
twins were born when she was barely six months pregnant, and the boy,
Parker, developed cerebral palsy. The doctors recommended physical
therapy to build up muscle strength and give the boy a fighting chance
of learning to walk, but her managed health provider refused to cover
it.
The crazy bureaucratic logic was that the policy covered only
"rehabilitative" therapy - in other words, teaching a patient a
physical skill that has been lost. Since Parker had never walked, the
therapy was in essence teaching him a new skill and therefore did not
qualify. The Hilsabecks railed, protested, won some small reprieves,
but ended up selling their home and moving into a trailer to cover
their costs. Elizabeth's husband, Steven, considered taking a new,
better-paying job, but chose not to after making careful inquiries
about the health insurance coverage. "When is he getting over the
cerebral palsy?" a prospective new insurance company representative
breezily asked the Hilsabecks. When Elizabeth explained he would never
get over it, she was told she was on her own.
Everyone in America has a health-care horror story or knows
someone who does. Mostly they are stories of grinding bureaucratic
frustration, of phone calls and officials letters and problems with
their credit rating, or of people ignoring a slowly deteriorating
medical condition because they are afraid that an expensive battery of
tests will lead to a course of treatment that could quickly become
unaffordable.
Even when things don't go horribly wrong, it is a matter of
surviving by the skin of one's teeth.
In Montana, Melissa Anderson can't find affordable insurance
because she is self-employed - an increasingly common affliction. When
her son Kasey came down with epilepsy two years ago, she was saved
only by a recently introduced child health insurance programme
specifically tailored to people who aren't poor but can't afford to
pay monster medical bills. She herself remains uninsured for anything
short of major care needs.
Over the past 15 years, the stories have become less about poor
people without the economic means to access the system - although that
remains a vast, unsolved problem - and more about the kind of people
who have every expectation they will be taken care of. Middle-class
people, people with jobs that carry health benefits or - as the
problem worsens - people with the sorts of jobs that used to carry
robust health benefits which are now more rudimentary and risk their
being cut off for a variety of reasons.
This is the morass that Michael Moore has chosen to explore in his
latest documentary, Sicko, which goes on release later this month.
Moore spends much of the film demonstrating that there is nothing
inevitable or necessary about a system that enriches insurance
companies and drug manufacturers but shortchanges absolutely everyone
else. His searching documentary looks at health care in France,
Britain, Canada, and even Cuba - still regarded as a model system for
the Third World.
Moore has his share of ghoulishly awful stories. The film kicks
off with an uninsured carpenter who has to decide whether to spend
$12,000 (£6,000) reattaching his severed ring finger or $60,000 to
reattach his severed middle finger. Later on, Moore focuses on a
hospital worker whose husband needed a bone marrow transplant to save
him from a rare disease. The couple's insurance company refused to
cover the transplant because it regarded the treatment as
"experimental". The husband died.
Many more stories are collected in a newly published book called
Sick: The Untold Story of America's Health Care Crisis, by Jonathan
Cohn. A woman in California called Nelene Fox died of breast cancer
after she, too, was turned down for a bone marrow transplant by her
insurance company. In Georgia, a family whose infant son went into
cardiac arrest were forced to take him to a hospital 45 miles away on
their insurance carrier's orders. He survived, but suffered permanent
disabilities that more prompt treatment might have averted. In New
York, an infant called Bryan Jones - whose case was trumpeted all over
the local media at the time - died of a heart defect that went
undetected because his insurance company kicked him and his mother out
of hospital 24 hours after his birth, too soon to carry out the tests
that might have spotted the problem.
America's health system offers a tremendous paradox. In medical
technology and in the scientific understanding of disease, it is
second-to-none. Since doctors are better paid than anywhere else in
the world, the country attracts the best of the best. And yet many, if
not most, Americans are unable to reap the advantages of this. In
fact, as The New York Times columnist Paul Krugman has argued, the
very proliferation of research and high-tech equipment is part of the
reason for the imbalance in coverage between the privileged few and
the increasingly underserved masses. "[The system] compensates for
higher spending on insiders, in party, by consigning more people to
outsider status -robbing Peter of basic care in order to pay for
Paul's state-of-the-art treatment," Krugman wrote recently. "Thus we
have the cruel paradox that medical progress is bad for many
Americans' health."
Having the system run by for-profit insurance companies turns out
to be inefficient and expensive as well as dehumanising. America
spends more than twice as much per capita on health care as France,
and almost two and a half times as much as Britain. And yet it falls
down in almost every key indicator of public health, starting,
perhaps, most shockingly, with infant mortality, which is 36 per cent
higher than in Britain.
A recent survey by the management consulting company McKinsey
estimated the excess bureaucratic costs of managing private insurance
policies - scouting for business, processing claims, and hiring
"denial management specialists" to tell people why their ailment is
not covered by their policy - at about $98bn a year. That, on its own,
is significantly more than the $77bn McKinsey calculates it would cost
to cover every uninsured American. If the government negotiated bulk
purchasing rates for drugs, rather than allowing the pharmaceutical
companies to set their own extortionate rates, that would save another
$66bn.
Astonishingly, there hasn't been a serious debate about health
care in the United States since Bill Clinton, with considerable input
from his wife Hillary, tried and failed to overhaul the system in
1994. That, though, may be about to change as the 2008 presidential
race heats up. Everyone acknowledges the system is broken. Everyone
recognises that 50 million uninsured - including almost 10 million
children - is unacceptable in a civilised society.
Even the old, classically American free-market argument - that
"socialised" medicine is somehow the first step on a slippery slope
towards godless communism - doesn't hold water, because in the absence
of a functioning private insurance regime the government ends up
picking up about 50 per cent of the overall costs for treatment
anyway. The indigent rely on a government programme called Medicaid.
The elderly have a government programme called Medicare. And perhaps
the most efficient part of the whole system is the Veterans'
Administration, a sort of NHS for former servicemen.
Rather like London and Paris in the 19th century, where the
authorities belatedly paid attention to outbreaks of cholera once the
disease started affecting the rich and middle classes, so the American
health crisis may be coming to a head because of the kinds of people
who are suffering from its injustices.
Corporate chief executives, for a start, are gagging under the
ever-increasing costs of providing coverage to their employees.
Starbucks now spends more on health care than it does on coffee beans.
Company health costs, as a whole, are at about the same level as
corporate profits. In a globalised world where US businesses are
competing with low-wage countries such as India and China, that is
rapidly becoming unacceptable.
That explains, perhaps, why the chief executive of Wal-Mart, Lee
Scott, has made common cause with America's leading service sector
union - more commonly a bitter critic of Wal-Mart's labour practices -
in calling for a government-run universal health care system by 2012.
It's going to be a tough battle. The insurance and pharmaceutical
industries bankroll the campaigns of dozens of congressmen and have so
far been brutally efficient in protecting their own interests. The
Clintons were defeated in 1994 in part because of the power of the
industry lobbies. Doing better this time will take singular political
courage.
In the meantime, we will hear ever more crazy stories like the one
told by Marijon Binder, a former nun in Chicago who ended up being
sued by a Catholic hospital for $11,000 because her two-night stay for
a heart scare was not considered a worthy charity case. Binder, who
works as a live-in companion to a disabled old woman, wrote on all her
admission forms that she had no insurance and, in her telling at
least, was reassured the hospital would take care of her anyway.
After a year and a monstrous bureaucratic fight that went nowhere,
a civil judge promptly absolved her of responsibility for her bill - a
lucky outcome, for sure. Binder said: "The whole experience was very
demeaning. It made me feel very guilty; it made me feel like a
criminal." She is, though, alive and solvent. Not everyone in this
system catches the same break.

Exact same thing happens in Socialized Medicine Britain; read the
London "mainstream" dailies - and you'll know all about it. Despite
the huge taxes to support socialized medicine there, Brit hospitals in
urban areas are so grossly overcrowded that a scandal erupted there in
the past five years over many doing "involuntary euthanasia" on old
patients - just to clear bed space!

So what you're saying is that socialized medicine and oligopoly for
-profit medicine BOTH suck.
So what we need is a Canadian-style single payer plan providing
universal coverage. I'm glad we agree on that one. 8^)
You are, of course, talking rubbish. But then, I only have extensive
experience of the NHS and happen to live here.

That describes most Natioal Health Services, including our British
one. 'Socialised medicine', by the way, means nothing. It's just an
American political slogan design to fool or frighten the public.
Dr. Barry Worthington
Harry, why your sensitivity about socialised medicine. Even the
defenders of the concept
here in the US frequently use the term.
Sensitive about identifying it as socialism are you?
But you are a nutter! Bugger off, and take your website with you......
I can't stand people who won't put up a decent argument
themselves.....
Dr. Barry Worthington
I don't think that they do. I mean, there isn't a concept behind it,
so you can't defend something that doesn't exist. It's a slogan used
by some Americans. It means nothing outside America, and it doesn't
really mean anything there either.
> Sensitive about identifying it as socialism are you?
But it isn't socialism, is it? But then, you wouldn't recognise a
socialist if you fell over one in the street. Now I've better things
to do with my time......

Do socialists lie about on the street in Britain a lot?
Here they teach in universities and work on foundation grants.

I doubt it....
What a silly little man you are.
> I can't stand people who won't put up a decent argument

Providing cites is part of an argument, Harry. Get real.
You're talking absolute bullshit, cupcakes. Now why don't you stop
spewing ridiculous lies and come back to earth?
Incidently, I read the Guardian daily, have for years. Aside from one
rogue doctor who turned out to be a serial killer, I've never heard of
euthanasia in the British medical system.

So tell us, Zepp, just what does an alien that his been permanently

I find this difficult to believe, in as much as a follow on from
finding it difficult to believe that Pres. Bush knows what eBay is,
outside of a briefing session at least.
But if he did, I wonder what his watched auctions would be, and what
he might offer for sale, aside from your life, flag, honour and so
forth.

True. Alas, sometimes one does get the impression that many (but not
all - thank in a purely figurative sense God) citizens of the United
States feel that anything an inch to the left of, say, José Efraín
Ríos Monttt is a de-facto card carrying Stalinist.
Well, keep it to yourself. Gawd knows Americans have enough on their
plate already.
Well, he takes a Rufus T. Firefly approach to all the nation's highest

This is what psychologists call 'projection'. To Bush, a medal is
only worth what you could sell it for on EBay.

Ummm, no. He was a British citizen. He left for Britain when the

Poor Muppet. I don't know what's sadder; your notion that FBI files

with the right to vote?
After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed six and injured
1,000; President Clinton promised that those responsible would be
hunted down and punished.
After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five U.S. military
personnel; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down
and punished.
After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19
and injured 200 U.S. military personnel; Clinton promised that those
responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa, which killed 224
and injured 5,000; Clinton promised that those responsible would be
hunted down and punished.
After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39
U.S. sailors; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted
down and punished.
Maybe if Clinton had kept his promise, an estimated 5,000 people in New
York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C. who are now dead would be
alive today.

So what is there to be jealous of?
Your economic power? You are living on credit, and running
unsustainable deficits. Your manufacturing is disappearing. Large
numbers of your jobs are disappearing abroad.
Your political system? After George Bush, everyone is laughing at you.
Your last two Presidential elections were ac joke.
Your politicised justice system with its high profile miscarriages of
justice and Guantanamo? Don't be silly!
Your country's reputation has never been lower. Just live with it!
Now you can get back into your cupboard....

And yet, here you are, laughing as you and your country plunge to your
deaths.
Ah....you see, we in the groves of academie have progressed beyond the
phase of sniggering behind bicycle sheds (or whatever the American
equivalent is).....come to think of it, most grownup people
have.....except you. Sex, as a phenomenon of nature, is studied in a
variety of academic disciplines. Now I study one aspect of sex tourism
as part of my other tourism research topics (which include the role of
tourism in post-communist transition in Europe, issues relating to
heritage tourism, 'serious leisure', and transport and tourism). There
are several academics who study the purely commercial side of sex
tourism. My interest is the swinging sub-culture, as an extension of
the 'serious leisure' concept, and its creation of 'embodied space'.
This, of course, has a practical side, in the sense that swingers
contribute a not insignificant amount to local tourist economies.

I have no idea what this means. But if it makes you happy to think
that....who am I to disturb your fantasies?
Just keep them to yourself in future.....that's a good boy...
Dr. Barry Worthington
You have to realize that you're dealing with an out-of-control
narcissist with the emotional capacities of a ten year old. Congruent
to that, he thinks his values are the natural laws of the universe;
and the values just aren't that good.
Okay, Harry, you want some cites proving that "socialized medicine"
is legitimate, frequently used term here? Here are a few:
"Universal health care is typically the goal of socialized medicine
but the two terms are often used interchangeably by politicians. The
difference is that socialized medicine is an implementation while
universal health care is an effect."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialized_medicine
http://www.theadvocates.org/freeman/8903lemi.html
http://www.slate.com/id/2114554/
http://jmchar.people.wm.edu/Kin493/socmed.html
Here's one from the American Assoc. of Physicians and Surgeons:
http://www.aapsonline.org/sma.php
I could go on, Harry, but you get the point.
Don't you?.........
Knickers just proved the Doctor's point: that the term is the province
of right wing loons.

Yes, you get paid for "researching" what other people only snigger
about behind
the barn.
It's sort of the academic equivalent of our defense department paying
$600 for
a toilet seat.

This is from Zepp Jamieson who whines and cries about how terrible the
USA is but still refuses to leave and go home
You notice that Zepp still hasn't denied that he is permanently barred
from becoming a U.S. citizen. ...and he hasn't explained why he
doesn't ever risk leaving the US. to even visit Canada, which he seems
to think is so wonderful....

the UK tourist boards too.

Leftists just cannot resist expressing their fantasies as if they were

"[L]iberals are afraid to state what they truly believe in, for to do so
would result in even less votes than they currently receive. Their
methodology is to lie about their real agenda in the hopes of regaining
power, at which point they will do whatever they damn well please. The
problem is they have concealed and obfuscated for so long that, as a group,
they themselves are no longer sure of their goals. They are a collection of
wild-eyed splinter groups, all holding a grab-bag of dreams and wishes. Some
want a Socialist, secular-humanist state, others the repeal of the Second
Amendment. Some want same sex/different species marriage, others want voting
rights for trees, fish, coal and bugs. Some want cradle to grave care and
complete subservience to the government nanny state, others want a culture

back and haunt him.

You know, Muppet, I sometimes get the feeling, when I see your command
of the language, that you learned all the English you know by reading
the contents of fortune cookies.
Hmm. Being a citizen of the US makes you smarter in WHAT way,
exactly? And could you demonstrate some of this intelligence for us?
For example, explain how you can use FOIA to force the FBI to disclose
an ongoing investigation. That seems like a good place to start.
You know, when William Shatner moved from Canada to the US, the
average IQ of BOTH countries went up.

Oh, I've denied it before. But Stevie is lonely, and desperately
needs to matter to the people here.
I'm glad he has you as his Pancho Sanza.

Ahhhh, they diagnosed you as malingerer you are, eh, muffette?
Funny that when the VA is fully funded (ie., democrats in control)
real veterans have nothing but good to say about the VA.
%%%% Especially when the government has their hands in it. Just look at the
VA hospitals for an example.
Heavens, no! It could get subpoenaed. I can't write anything. --- Hillary
Clinton
%%%% Translation: You know nothing about healthcare just like your other
nobodies do zippy. All you know is that you want the government to care for
you from cradle to grave without any effort or input on your part. Ayn Rand
said it best.
They proclaim that every man is entitled to exist without labor and, the
laws of reality to the contrary notwithstanding, is entitled to receive his
"minimum sustenance" his food, his clothes, his shelter, with no effort on
his part, as his due and his birthright. To receive it, from whom?
Ayn Rand
