Health Care

The movie Sicko explores the health care systems in the United States and how health care companies try to get as many people to sign up for there health care plan and also the many people who are denied certain health care. It also compares the health care system in the United States to many other country's health care systems.
My health care plan is Child Health Plus which what I think is quite common for most. The health care company is Empire and I have never faced any major emergency problems where I am denied any care but I have encountered many scenarios for denial of care of smaller things. One of the main thing that my health care denies the most is situations dealing with dental care. It puzzles me and makes me wonder what is going on since my father who needs some pretty major surgery on his spine because of a fractured disc is able to get the surgery since the health care is in fact covering the procedure. I was surprised when my dad told me that our health care is going to cover his procedure. Although luckily my dad's surgery has be approved I have come across many problems that are not as major that have been denied by my health care. For example is when I got a root canal and went to the dentist, after the procedure was done as soon as I was going to get the crown to insure my tooth would be okay my dentists tells me "your health care company doesn't cover crowns." At that moment I was so puzzled and annoyed. The dentist ended up filling up the giant whole in my tooth but told me I would need to get a crown eventually because the filling would not last forever. That was around 6 months ago and to this very day I still have not gotten the approval to get a crown. Another thing that my health care does not cover is birth control. It frustrated me on how many tiny little things that my health care denies to treat but it also makes me wonder why they would accept to cover my dad's surgery and not cover all my tiny little treatments. Does Child Health Plus not have as many benefits as if you were an adult? Although there has always been a little annoyance my family's experience with health care isn't not that bad. Most of the heavy bills and bad experiences my family had to deal with is dental care. It does not compare to those in the movie Sicko, like the man who was denied surgery and ended up dieing because of the health care companies denial of treatment.
The morals for health in the United States are horrible. It is surprising to me how other countries, people are almost never denied of health care and go into the hospitals sick and come out totally healthy. It makes me wonder more to why the United States does not adopt these other health care systems that other countries have. Personally I think that people's health should not be needed to be made into a waiting game of whether they can or cannot get certain treatments.
