Health Care

here in china, I would like to say healthcare is very bad in china, I admit that the government provide millions of money for healthcare, but a lot of governors abuse it, the government is completely irresponsible. in china even just cold may cost you a lot of money, so many people can't afford it, then they choose to hide out at home and treat themselves, it's very sad,which makes you feel helpless.

unfortunately, here in Yemen we don't have a healthcare insurance except people who don't need it at all….

I'm from the US and I definitely think that my country needs universal healthcare! I am very fortunate to have private health insurance do to my father's job, but we still pay so much money to visit the doctor! Even with private health insurance, going to the doctor is only something that we do in an emergency, because otherwise, it's too expensive.There is also the issue with insurance companies- if they decide that they don't think an operation or examination is crucial for you- they won't pay for it- even if you have private health insurance and pay for it each month. It's really a problem!

The reason why so many people don't want universal healthcare in the USA is because of greed. Many people who work for and own the private insurance companies make soooooo much money from charging outrageous prices. Also, people working in pharmaceutical companies, hospital equipment, etc. make tons of money from charging way too much money for their products. Many of these millionaires work in the government or have a strong tie to government officials, etc. This is another reason why the US doesn't have universal healthcare yet.

I hope that things will change soon and my country and that Obama will get universal healthcare passed through congress!

Here in Brazil we need pay a lot o money to have a good health insurance, because the public insurance is not eficient and you have to pay for a private health insurance.

Here In Italy they really have a perfect healthcare for patients and about who are control heath care I don't about this point..but when I was In Saudi Arabia there is the government control it..

I think if the government manage the heathcare in USA is will be better  .

yeah we have a universal health care but I think the private health care is more better than the free one if u want 2 get good treatment.

I don't understand what's intended by universal health care itself. In my country, health insurance is owned by the employers, both private or government. Meanwhile the rests which aren't included in these groups just need to have a copy of identity card to be showed when they go to the health care center. For the poor people, when they get serious ill and have to get special treatment in the hospital, the cost will be covered by the government. They only need to show a letter from the village head as an evidence that they are really poor.

But, there are so many kind of diseases nowadays. When u have to go out of ur area for health treatment and the insurance can't covered the cost 100%, so u have to pay the rest by ur own money and bla bla

It's so complicated some time. 

I do believe that health is one of the basic need of the human and the government should do its best to protect and to guarantee its people can achieve the proper treatment.

our health case is the most worst one in the world i guess.  the cost  always makes you poorer at one time,this is china by the way!!

Universal health care is priority out of the three or five basic social insurances.People get sick or hurt at times,we arenot willing to see our relatives die because of bad insurance.

I LIKE THIS KIND OF INSURANCE BUT THEIR IN YEMEN THEY OFFER THIS SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE WHO WORK IN THE OIL & GAS FIELDS

 I just answered the qusetions "Is there universal health care in your country? Are you happy with your health care system?",so…

In Taiwan, we have universal healthcare system. However, many people abuse it, take as many drugs as they can. some people criticize that we need a reform as well. I think no matter how the healthcare is, private or universal, the most important thing is to find a balance between a good system and affordable medical treatments

in finland, everyone get good treatment when they become ill, get wounded etc… so i'm really happy that i live in finland =)

In my country they are making efforts that health insurance covers  the majority of people,they have a lot of work to do ,it is not trusted that much :{  

agree with  bluersnow

saludos.

Less people is covered in Mexico because nowadays some people have universal healthcare provided by public hospital, but universal healthcare is not enough for Mexican pupulation.

In italy is the same as in Spain…hardlyever the health care system doesn't work very well due to low money contributions by the govern, but i fell very safe here in Italy! I'm not scared of catching a cold!

@ bluersnow: you aren't serious, are you?

in our country,those people who are working in goverment are obliged to have health insurance.for people in non goverment ,they have a choice if they want to apply for it or not.but ,to the indigent people who cant afford,its not even in their list,what s important to them is food water and shelter.but here in qatar,all qataris have all the benefits in healthcare service,everything is free.imagine!

i  cant agree more

Yes, we have the universal health all over china from school to society, from countrysid to city, but i would like to say we are in the primary step of the developing health insurance system. I mean, the present health insurance policy doesn't work efficiently and have a great difference between different district. In many cases, we can't see the benefit brought by the health policy though we have to acknowlege its existence. But I am full of confidence to believe that we will do better tomorrow.
