I've spent most of my afternoon watching Michael Moore's Sicko (Special Edition) which was made to put some focus on the American Health Care or lack of, but it really started my thoughts spinning crazy out of control.
Mr. Moore visited Canada, UK and France to take a look at their Health Care systems to compare it to the American - and usually when people are talking about Denmark they always say things like: "...but we've got it so much better than other countries!" Sure we do, but that isn't exactly a quality-stamp or anything.
France, UK and Canada have dentists included in their Health Insurance - Denmark haven't.
In France it's only €1 PR HOUR to have two kids in a daycare-institution - in Demark it costs thousands of kroner pr month for only ONE child.
And there was actually a lot of things like these, only I can't remember them, that made me think deeper into what country it is that I am putting my faith to, I am trusting.
I already knew that our government isn't as amazing as they want us to believe - hell yeah, we all know that - and it actually troubles me alot; each and every single day.
I am not sure that the big guys in suits who sits at Christiansborg and makes all our decisions knows how much they are crushing the life of the average Dane at the bottom of the society. I KNOW! it's me, and my family they are crushing, and they don't even care enough to raise an eyebrow.
My dad is sick - really, really sick. I haven't told this to anyone before, not even my closest friends, no one.
He is actually so sick that I don't sleep at night if I can prevent it, cause I lie awake to listen to the sound of him coughing or his heavy breathing, to make sure that he is alive - and still the people at the city hall is trying to kick his ass out to work, when he should be granted a pension to live. He needs medicine - really expensive medicine, and we can't afford it. They won't even grant him subvention so that we can pay his medicine - and it's terrible. Lack of this medicine can cost him his life, and they don't care.
I won't drag this out anymore.. I am just so angry with people who has a good life - not amazing, but good. People who doesn't have to turn every little dime to make sure they get something to eat - and still they complaint about they can't afford a new itouch or a macbook or their parents won't let them go to Sunny Beach or what the hell it's all called and what the kids are into these days.
They have no idea how lucky they are... please, try and appreciate what you've got, instead of focusing on what you haven't got.
Enough hot air from me for now....
Peace
