The French healthcare system is under enormous cost pressure.
Canadian hospitals occasionally break the news of long wait times and patients traveling abroad for medical treatment.
Australia's public hospitals have also been criticised for waiting times and crowding of patients.
It can be seen that the so-called universal Healthcare is not without cost. Therefore, in recent years, medical reform has become a hot topic. China is also single-mindedly engaged in medical reform, which is related to people's livelihood!
The United States, not to mention, sees the news of medical reform almost every day. An American friend often complains to me that American medical insurance is too expensive, and the medical insurance company takes everything; however, I have no idea. After watching Sicko, I finally understand something.
Seeing those old ladies being hired by the hospital to be thrown to the door of the ambulance because they have no medical insurance; seeing one of the two severed fingers for treatment because they have no medical insurance; Paying the mortgage and finally being kicked out of the house; seeing 911 volunteers suffering from illnesses because of their rescue work, but not being recognized by the government and unable to receive treatment; seeing an old lady who said she had worked her whole life but couldn’t even look down on her illness; really Speechless•••
Things like this, I think, should not just happen in the United States. In China, there is no such thing. "Seeing a doctor is difficult and expensive." My ears are getting calluses. The purpose of medical reform is to solve this problem. However, at least for now, we still pray that we do not get sick, because once sick, it is not impossible to become a poor household from a well-off household.
Of course, we cannot deny that American medical care is very advanced, but we cannot ignore the problems of the medical system because of this. Otherwise, why is Obama so keen on medical reform? !
