Sometimes I think that China and the United States may be the two most similar countries in the world. They have the same vast resources, the same uneven population distribution, and the same super metropolis. The present of the United States may be the future of China. So when I saw in the movie that the emergency center had to pay first to provide first aid, the patient would be kicked out of the hospital if they had no money; when I saw the ridiculously high drug prices and treatment fees, the poor always had no reliable doctor; when I saw sick people It's not surprising that you will have to deduct money or even keep your job, etc. It seems to be commonplace, and the same is true in the United States, but it is not the same in the whole world, not even in Cuba, where we are in the same camp.
After staying in the hospital for a long time, I have seen too many tragic stories, especially because of lack of money, rural people will always choose to give up treatment and go home to die. At this time, I always feel very sad, and I am so lucky. The unfair distribution of social resources ultimately leads to an unfair destiny. We are not worthy of equality, human rights, and humanity. Neither does America. Considering that most western countries (even Cuba) have a state-subsidized free medical system, people in their countries feel incredible that they have to pay to go to the hospital, and even the hospital will pay you to thank you for not using an expensive treatment. Your money, sick leave is also paid with full salary, I was speechless, which made me want to "live elsewhere" more and more. Why is there such a big gap between people on the same earth? If the United States is the only western country that does not implement free medical care, where does China rank among the odds in the world? Some people say that there are too many Chinese people, and the government can't afford it. As for Russia, even when the economy is the most difficult, citizens still enjoy public medical care. If it's ideological differences to blame, then we are too far from the original intention of socialism, and Cuba is the best one. When the government takes the people's life and health as its top priority, I don't think there's anything we can't do with our government's top-notch executive power.
