How terrible is it to see a doctor in the United States?
If you want to go to the United States to see a doctor and get medical services that create miracles in the world, you are very wrong. The result of going to the United States to see a doctor must be stunned. The amount of the huge medical bills in the United States has no upper limit. To be precise, the medical services in the United States are not set for ordinary people at all.
Not everyone can enjoy the advanced medical technology in the United States. If an ordinary person treats a disease once, you may lose everything.
is not an exaggeration, but a real situation in the United States. Many small problems that can be solved by simply registering in China are likely to be queued in the United States. After seeing the doctor, they get a bill of more than 10,000 yuan, and 10,000 US dollars is equivalent to more than 70,000 yuan.
Some even have surgery that can be handled in China that can be handled by tens of thousands of yuan, but when they arrive in the United States, it will require millions of dollars in medical expenses, equivalent to tens of millions of yuan. This sky-high bill is very scary. Is this still a free country advocated by some people? The United States is a completely medical assassin country.
In fact, many people overestimate the so-called national welfare of the United States. capitalist country is not a paradise on earth. It is even worse than my country in many aspects. The medical system that is enmeshed by capital is even very terrifying.
The high medical expenses mentioned just now refer to the medical bills generated by people without American medical insurance, who can only bear all the costs of the medical bills generated by themselves when they are fully paid by themselves.
A minor operation that can be completed in China is only a few thousand yuan. In the United States, ordinary people cannot afford it at their own expense. It requires tens of thousands of dollars to handle it. It costs hundreds of thousands of yuan in RMB. Such a terrible amount gap makes ordinary people discouraged and even dare not treat it in the United States when they are sick.
The reimbursement amount of the US medical insurance system is very high. After a medical bill occurs, the US medical insurance companies will bear 85% of it, and the remaining part will be borne by the patients themselves. What’s funny is that American insurance companies will bargain with hospitals, and they do not pay at the price when they receive the bill. However, this step and process do not require patients to worry about. That is the matter of insurance companies going to argue. However, if there is no American medical insurance, they must not lose any penny and the patients will pay the bill as per order.
Since the medical insurance in the United States has such high coverage, it is logical that most Americans should have medical insurance, but the result is unexpected. At least 60% of Americans went bankrupt after going to the hospital for treatment, but none of these people do not have medical insurance. Since as Americans, they know that they have medical insurance, why don’t they buy it?
The welfare of the United States to the people is said to be very generous, including during the epidemic, many people in the United States even hid at home and received high unemployment benefits, and were unwilling to go out to work to take risks. If you think from this perspective, the United States treats the people very favorably, it may be arbitrary. The US government has not popularized medical insurance for the whole people, and Americans need to purchase it voluntarily.
The United States does not implement universal medical insurance because American insurance companies are privately owned. There are nearly 10,000 insurance companies in the United States, and none of them are federal governments. With so many private insurance companies, the most hard thing they try is to try their best to refuse the amounts they should pay.
Former US President Obama once tried to carry out medical reform , which once gave Americans hope, but forced Americans to purchase medical insurance, including the premiums for low-income people, are evenly distributed from the expenses of others. The rising premiums include the part that needs to be distributed to people who are not working to buy insurance, which is invisibly equivalent to "robbing the rich and helping the poor." Especially the "rift" is not the rich at all, but ordinary people who also need medical insurance as a backing. This makes people who are idle and lazy to do things, and those who work hard to make money can help support them.
Obama's decree encountered real problems, resulting in tens of millions of lazy people in the United States doing nothing, and they are idle all day long, waiting for the US government to provide relief, waiting for people who are busy working to share the expenses, and then the government uses this money to help lazy people buy medical insurance.
Just like this, insurance companies are not willing to cooperate. The insurance companies in the United States are all run by capital and are very powerful in the United States and can even penetrate into the political arena. Obama failed to continue to be re-elected because of the interest cake of the insurance company. Therefore, the universal medical insurance in the United States is completely out of the way.
If you are a middle-aged American with rich assets, you will buy a wide variety of insurance types. The triviality of these insurances is even amazing. However, the richer you are, the more insurance you are, the less insurance you are. After all, many rich people have private doctors, etc., and do not need to queue up and suffer in the hospital.
Ordinary Americans do not have the habit of saving, they spend all their money just by making some money. Many Americans even live by swiping credit cards. When facing medical insurance, they simply bet on the probability with their own destiny, thinking that they may not get seriously ill.
However, disease will not really disappear just because of ignoring it. Many Americans from ordinary families have become bankrupt because of a serious illness and become homeless homeless people on the streets. This is also one of the cold reality of the United States and one of the reasons why the American people are dissatisfied with the US government.
The US government cannot shake private insurance companies, nor does it do anything for the American people to help them. The US is terrified of public security issues and many violent terrorist crimes, many of which are due to extreme reactions after encountering this desperate situation.
