The film JohnQ represents the struggles of real working people by showing how even hard working men and woman struggle to pay bills and provide for a family. This movie also proves the sterotype of a poor man wrong. These less fortunate people are not poor because of lazyness or stupidity they are poor because America does not allow people to pull themselves out of poverty. John Q's millitant action is justified. One of the valid legal defenses that could be used is Defense of Family members. John Q's actions are just that. He is defending his son from serious injury or death but it is not approved by many because John was defending his son from Uncle Sam himself.This movie also points out the health care cisis the people of our country suffer from. Even though John Q has medical insurence he is not approved for his sons surgery which is a matter of life and death. This shows how America has put a price on a mans life and even worse a childs life. The sad part is that this isn't just a movie, more than 18000 adults die from lack of health insurance.
