As a medical worker working in a Hong Kong hospital, I feel a little onesided

Is American medical care really as bad as sicko said? After reading the emperor of maladies, you will know that the United States is so advanced in cancer treatment research. In fact, whether a country's medical policy is good or not, we still have to look at it comprehensively. Sicko cares more about the lower class, that is, the bottom 1/4 class in the United States (because the first 3/4 have medical insurance), and maybe they are more concerned about the lower class. I envy Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and even Cuba for free universal medical care, but in the United Kingdom, or Hong Kong, where the British medical system is in use, is universal free medical care really that perfect? Seeing a doctor in the UK is free, just like people are envious of being hospitalized in a public hospital in Hong Kong, which costs 100 yuan a day, but do you know that if you just want to check for a stomach disease and want to have a gastroscope, you may have to wait half a year to a year. It takes 1-3 years to wait in line for physical therapy to relieve pain. You don’t want to wait in line. You can go to a private hospital for an examination. The two-day examination pays 45,000 [face covering] [face covering], so why do many Hong Kong people still run back Mainland hospitals to see a doctor and do check-ups ~~ In fact, the US medical insurance policy, the UK, Canada, and France's free medical care all have advantages and disadvantages. As an individual, you should not follow the trend and think that it is good or bad. You should start from yourself. own medical benefits or entitlements

Sicko quotes

  • Michael Moore: There are nearly 50 million Americans with no health insurance. They pray every day they don't get sick because 18,000 of them will die this year, simply because they're uninsured. But this movie isn't about them. It's about the 250 million of you who have health insurance. Those of you who are living the American Dream.

  • Michael Moore: I always thought health insurance companies were there to help us. So, I posted a note on the Internet asking people if they had had any similar stories.Within 24 hours, I had over 3,700 responses. And by the end of the week, over 25,000 people had sent me their healthcare horror stories. Some of them decided not to wait for me to get back to them. Like Doug Noe, who took matters into his own hands, without my permission. His daughter was nine months old when they discovered she was going deaf. His health insurance company, CIGNA, said they'd pay for an implant in only one of her ears. According to the letter they sent, it's experimental for her to hear in two ears.
