[QUOTE="tinamarie1, post: 61277, member: 255"] I personally think that Mr. Moore has a HUGE political agenda in all that he does. My husband is a nurse and yes there are problems with our medical system. For instance, the drug companies...they send doctors on world wind trips based on how many prescriptions they write for particular drugs. They not only send the doctor, but their whole family. Drug reps visit where my sis works (an obgyn office) several times a week, and bring them food from the most expensive restaurants...for EVERYONE in the office, and she works in a large office, I would guess that food is a couple hundred dollars in some instances. The hospital in Florida where my dad frequents, very few of the nurses that work there speak fluent English. Many of them are difficult to understand. After further investigation, I found out that the hospitals in the U.S. pay women in places like the Phillapines to go to school and sign a contract to work in the U.S. for so many years, and they get paid about $10 less an hour than husband. Great for those women who were probably living in poverty where they are from, but husband couldn't find a job in Florida that pays what he was making in Louisiana. I won't see his movie, because I don't like him as a person...but I will agree that our system needs an overhaul. [/QUOTE]
