Movie assignment

I watched that movie in high school but I slept so I don+t remember anything. In movie, director compares American insurance with other country's insurance. The insurance of America is run by private company. In America, sone people couldn't get treatment because of money. Pivate companies refuse to give money for the care of hospital to people.They find defect in any way. On the other hand, the insurance of other country like France is run by government. In France, all patients don't have to pay for medical treatment. In Korea, there are the insurance run by private company. Also we have the insurance run by government but it's not free like France. However it's not expensive like America. Insurance system of France is good but I think tax would be very expensive. Not I'm satisfied all, but I'm satisfied to some degree. And I don't want to live in America because of insurance system.

Movie assignment - second type

 How do you feel about the issues shown in this movie? Some people say that private companies can take care of us better than governments; do you think that is true? Why or why not?

 I felt both anger and sadness throughout the movie because of the companys attitude toward people.
 I don't think private company can take care us better since their priority is maximising the profit. As shown in the movie, private companies are subject to exploit people for the companys development not for the development of sociaty.

 What kind of things can private companies do better, and what can the government do better?

 I think government can do well in many areas of wellfare because government itself was made for doing that kind of work. However the only thing that private companies can do better than government is making another source of revenues like(although it is strong metaphor) pricing the sunshine.

Lucy's homework

1. ●What is this movie about? It was about the people who have insurance but who can't take advantage with that. Because insurance isn't goverment's but private companys'. ●Why does the girl who was in the accident have to pay for ambulance, even though she was insured? Beacuse she didn't ask for prior approval for using ambulance. ●Wha are some reasons why people get rejected by insurance company? There are some reasons like heights, weights and a molld. ●How does a medical director who works for an insurance company get bonuses? The doctor Who rejected more their patients' ask. ●How do doctors get bonuses in England ? The doctor Who treated patients hardly. Or the doctor whose patients are going healthy. 2. I don't think it's not true. Because peple who was insured can't recieve fair insurance . Private company want olny their benefits. So they can be cruel with decisions which can change someone's life. So I think Government should take responsibility for insurance system. Because goverment is for citizen. And citizen should be aware with what is happening now. They deserve to be cured with their sick. To solve this problem, I think citizen should claim ther right strongly like revolt and goverment should protect their citizen.
