I just found out that Michael Moore's "Sicko" is now free for the taking on YouTube. If you have never seen it, it is well worth the time. If you have already seen it, chance are good you'll want to see it again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbEQ7acb0IE
Moore took some 9/11 first responders down to Guantanamo. He saw in a Senate hearing that the inmates at Guantanamo received bi-weekly health screenings. That's a helluva lot better than what the first responders to get, so he decided to take them on a cruise. All of the first responders wound up with serious medical issues. I remember one of the women in the movie was spending $120/month for an inhaler, without which she would die. They went to a pharmacy in Havana and the same inhaler was only 25 cents. She went back to NYC with a bag full of inhalers.
