I have a really hard time believing that so many people can be complicit in watching another person's pain.

The doctors that turn away people, I have a hard time believing they do that because they don't care. The insurance companies that don't insure people for certain treatments, I have a hard time believing that there is no other way to pay except for using insurance. Doctors who don't diagnose it early, there may be a different reason why it's mis-diagnosed, instead of uncaring or incompetent doctors.

When I see movies like this, it brings about the mentality of "blame the system." I see the system is us, it is made of people, people like you and me, and when we blame the system, we really blame ourselves. We should really be mad at ourselves, because we, as human beings, as individuals, created this.

I'm not saying I don't believe what you claim, but I'm saying, I'm having a really hard time seeing so many people be so complicit and ugly to other people who are suffering. And it certainly does not resonate with my personal experience.
