CNN.co.jp: Michael Moore shoots in Cuba, US Treasury investigates? - Entertainment

Although I do not know clearly, when connecting the information here and there, people in the field immediately after the simultaneous multiple terrorist attacks in the last about 20 minutes were diseased by the asbestos contained in large amounts in the building debris However, because I can not receive American medical service properly, I took treatment properly when I took it to Cuba, what has become of this United States! Although there seems to be a scene which becomes a trend of flow, when the traveling coverage to Cuba, the director applied as a "journalist", but since the US Treasury says, since he is bringing people together, "travel industry "If not, you should write" Leader "and the director Michael Moore did will be a false application, if so it is illegal by violating the Cuban embargo policy This movie has been filmed and seized the film taken by illegal acts of course ... and screening becomes impossible ... It seems to be an unexplained reason.

Although it is speculation to the last, in this movie it seems that private insurers and pharmaceutical companies are targeted, "If you want to stay healthy, you have to try not to get sickCombined with Michael Moore 's comment, it seems that there seems to be something that is probably rather disadvantageous for private insurers and pharmaceutical companies. Moreover, it is directed not only to the medical industry in the United States but also to the whole medical insurance system, so if possible before the Cannes Film Festival this time, the American government (to be precise, As a house) I would like to seize the film, or it seems that I want to seize the screening by 29th June 2007, which will be screened in the US otherwise to stop the screening. First of all, I can not think of seizure because the government does not screen in Japan ... ....

What is mysterious here is that the medical industry has influenced politicians with influence and has led to the movement of government agencies, but this point is quite different from Japan, so be careful I have to go.

As a page summarizing the facts of the American health care system objectively, the following pages are very easy to understand as they are stepping into the institutional contents in a very detailed manner.

Present state of medical treatment in the USA - (Osaka prefectural medical association

Roughly describing it, the medical cost of the United States is about 15% of GDP, medical expenses per person is 5635 dollars, the highest level in the world. Looking at the breakdown of payment sources of medical expenses, the top is "private insurance" 36%. Health insurance in Japan is totally different, and health insurance like Japan is equivalent to "Medicaid (Medical aid for low-income people)", only the elderly and low-income people It does not apply. In other words, most people become private insurance, but this is optional. In general, the company allows employees to join. Of course, the burden is great for the company. And when looking at under the age of 65, 70% of private insurance participants, 10% Medicaid, and the remaining 20% ​​are "uninsured".

Furthermore, there is a problem with this private insurance, and unlike Japan, the pharmacy is reimbursed first from a private insurance company, and the remainder is the patient's own burden because the medical drug is "free price system". What is wrong with this procedure is that the private insurance company has "Ranking"Is carried out in consultation and private drug insurers recommended by private insurance companies can bear a small burden on themselves, but if they are drugs of rival pharmaceutical manufacturers that are not so, it will cost a high burden ... It is feeling.

In other words, pharmaceutical companies tie-up with private insurance companies on more favorable conditions to raise the market share, discounts and do various other measures. Therefore, even effective drugs are not cost effective because insurance is not applied at all, in that case the burden is so big that it will not heal what you cure.

As the above facts are very commonly known, perhaps Michael Moore's next work "Sicko" will reveal further details in the interview and other things? It is expected. Expect great.
