America needs this
Capitalism baby!😂
Seems like US healthcare system is a business from the private market. And I am pretty sure that some of them businesses helps to get some of the politicians, on both left and right, to be elected. So, it will probably continue the way it is.
❤
I totally agree with her because something similar happened to me in Ecuador and in Medellin, Colombia and in both cases the service was outstanding and VERY cheap even when I was a tourist. Unfortunately, here in the US we are all about MONEY, and less about service and humanity. I just retired and have decided to permanently move either to Spain or South of France before the end of this year (today is July 31, 2023) or the beginning of the 2024. Enough of this abuse. And god forbid the crazy brats of the GOP get into the White House again, because only then Americans will know how a third world country lives...
In 2 days the General Election will be held, while the left believes in universal free healthcare, the right in different regions where they govern are striking deals with private healthcare companies, some from across the Atlantic, and cutting funds and staff for the public system, to drive people towards private insurance. So the General Election might have a great impact on the future of healthcare for all in Spain.
I hate america
Seeing as how america is just above africas medical thats not hard to beleive. America is the world shyt ran by shyt
The way America is set up is wrong. In Spain people walk, they walk because everything is within walking g distance. They take public transportation. In America public transportation is riddled with riff raff, himeless, and mentally ill people. Our foundation is wrong
Healthcare in this country is a disgrace EVEN if you have $$$$ BIG BUSINESS that's all...so sick of the greed in this country
Happy to hear that you had a good experience with the Norwegian healthcare system. However, my experience is the opposite. I'm very unhappy with the current system. You have cystic acne that scars up your face? 6 months wait to see a dermatologist. You have severe depression and anxiety? 1 year wait for a therapist, if you are so fortunate that you are allowed on the waiting list. You're a student living away from home, and want to see a doctor? There's one place you can go, and they will refuse you unless they deem it as acute. You have moved to another city and need a primary care physician, or you're just unhappy with your current one? Too bad, in many cities and towns there are not a single one available. Can't breathe through your nose because of a deviated septum? In my city, there's a 2.5 year wait for a surgery. You're a nurse? Nurses are quitting in droves because of understaffing, stress and poor working conditions. A recent survey revealed that 72% of nurses are considering quitting their jobs. I think we deserve a better healthcare system than the current one. The Norwegian healthcare system is not something that should be implemented in America, as the lack of primary care physicians and the extreme wait times would turn Americans insane. You should rather look to countries like Switzerland, France and Germany. I also want to recommend reading this article: www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/09/18/upshot/best-health-care-system-country-bracket.html
It's a question of societal values, in many countries it makes sense to people that healthcare and education benefit everyone and therefore providing them affordably to people benefits society.
The USA is probably the only country in the Western world that does not offer free healthcare. Greetings from Norway. 😀
España es el primer país de mundo en donaciones de organos y el primero también en transplantes. Un país con alma, lo hacen , personas con alma.
When immigrants receive medical care in Spain they are surprised by its quality and above all that medical care, hospital stay and medication are totally free. It is not exactly like that, our health service is not free, it is supportive and protects everyone, whether or not you have money, but it is not free, we Spaniards pay for it.
I'm sorry for the women in the USA, it's a nigthmare what the Supreme Court has decide, now, your body it's not yours if you lives in a con state. "Land of the frees"... Free if your not a woman.
Some insight into the Spanish healthcare system: you're probably going to read a lot of comments by Spanish people saying that the quality of Spanish healthcare is either really good or not so good. This is because each region in Spain is responsible for providing healthcare for its citizens and, therefore, your experience in a state hospital may vary depending on where you are in Spain. However, healthcare is generally quite good across all regions.
I am a Spanish national that lives in Finland and I have to say that, despite being more expensive, the Finnish healthcare is in no way better than the Spanish. As more private companies take over the system, this becomes more expensive and of worse quality.
I'm a spaniard and I have to say I am really proud of our healthcare system. My father had a triple bypass operation and it was amazing how well he was treated ( for free). The hospital was also amazing. We have private hospitals/insuranse but when people have a serious illness they usually turn to the their public healthcare system because it´s better....Of course, as all countries, we have many problems, but our healthcare is really something we can cherish.
Nigeria´s Healthcare Outshines the U. S.
Everyones healthcare is better than the US.
Everyones healthcare is better than the US.
Maybe those thinking healthcare is a business should think "how much MORE can produce a HEALTHY person than a sick one?"
Healthcare is better and affordable/free ANYWHERE in the world...except IN $$$$$$ AMERICA..
USA takes advantage of Weak and poor. Inequality In education cost, housing, Healthcare. USA wants to keep The poor and middle class Weak and uneducated. It’s All in the plan folks.
Total rubbish
Here in the UK we have the NHS. All Euro countries have some form of easily accessible health care system. We do have private care, which most people use as a top up. We spend half per head of population for health care than they do in America, plus it is universally accessible to UK citizens. So quite why America, stands out in the Western world, with its antiquated system is beyond me. Ideology? Come on America, join the rest of the World.
The US will never have a system as good as the Spanish one. It is not built in the mentality.
Every Europese countries healthcare outshines the U.S.
About ten years ago i was visiting some friends in Granada, Spain. I got sick, fever, headache, out of breath and other symptoms. I didn't want to go to the hospital because I didn't have the money to pay for it but my friend took me anyway. i filled an application with my name and address and medical questions and after half hour wait i got in the hospital, ended up staying in the hospital one day, they did blood test, chest x ray, and the service was incredible, the personalized attention was unbelievable. I was very worried, didn't have thousands of dollars to pay for the hospital stay, when I checked out the bill was $350 Euros. I asked them how much was the total bill and the lady repeated $350.00 Euros. I was shocked how inexpensive it was and the best care I've ever experienced. At the end of the day a patient there is a human being that needs help, in the U S. A patient is a number with a blank check on, two different concepts that are lights years apart... I am not surprised Spain has one of the best health cares in the world.
La cultura anglosajona es muy mercantilista. Todo es dinero y hay derechos básicos como la salud o la educación que no deberían de ser negocio. Pero son así, no van a cambiar.
@@alfredosanchezsanchez9478 non todos el mondo anglosajona, solo EE.UU!! En Australia, NZ, Canada, Reino Unido la sistema saludario es accessible o gratis para todos.
Aside from the health system, it's the health of the population itself, especially where I am down in southern Spain. Good food, plenty of walking, Mediterranean sea and air, and lifestyle in general. A LOT if Americans shovel processed rubbish into their bodies and wouldn't even walk to their local shop if their lives depended on it... The amount of active 80 and 90 year olds in my town is incredible.
healthcare spain is universal.
The concept in the EU of "heathcare" corresponds more to a "human right", while in the USA it corresponds more to "business".
In USA if you get cancer or need surgery but you dont have tons of cash you better prepare coffin
In USA are only free if you are in Dr. House ,Emergency,ER and similar shows while in reality not so
As a Spanish American I call BS. A dogs vet visit is more than that. She went to a private clinic, probably some sports medicine. If you go to the public healthcare the first thing you show is your healthcare card. If you use the public healthcare while uninsured, you will be billed. Our public healthcare system sucks. Long waits for tests/procedures, and I mean lonnnggg waits, like years. I am currently sick and waiting for bloodwork since Nov. 29, have an appointment for the 15th and then wait until the 27th to see my primary care. 1 month to see my primary care, awesome!!!. In the USA, even on public healthcare it would only be a few days to see primary, she would draw the blood during the visit and two days later you would have results. Want more real world? My mother was diagnosed with cancer in Spain, took them 1 year to diagnose her, and it was a private clinic that found it. Our worthless public health doctors told her she didn't have any cancer. Showed the results from the private clinic to the public healthcare docs. They gave her 6 months to live and said they would not do any surgery. We went back to the USA and on her medicare had surgery, chemo etc. She later went on to have 2 more surgeries back in the USA, as unfortunately the cancer came back. She lived almost 5 years. Yeah! Spanish healthcare, a POS!

@@gundalfx Spain is not a bad choice and I am very impressed with the Quality of health care In Europe especially the High cost Equipment in Hospitals and other places. Amen to the Proposion in 2022.
I had to be airlifted to hospital with a burst appendix on a small Spanish island. I was operated on immediately and 3 week recovery. Doctors since always remark on the neat scar. Virtually no cost, including helicooter! Can you imagine cost of that in US. I have recently lived in Thailand and Colombia which both have incredible high quality healthcare and hospitals at very affordable prices, bot well outranking US in global healthcare index.
Every country should have part of the budget to universal sanitary attention for population.., is a huge jump on life’s quality,..
Healthcare for all but you need to afford somehow,..
Doctors need to live,..
In Spain part of the state budgets go to sanity..,
You spend 40% of the country budget on military,.. Spain about 3-4%,..
And routinely wait 3 months for a routine appointment with a doctor, in social medicine systems in countries like Spain
What are you talking about, I'm from Spain and they can perfectly give you a routine appointment anytime you need as long as the doctor's available (you can get one within the same week you're booking the appointment easily). When I was a kid I had to go to the doctor a lot due to asthma and constantly catching colds. If I woke up and was coughing a lot in a schoolday morning, I just had to call the nearest medical center and they would give me an appointment as early as in twenty minutes and as late as within two hours. I often arrived late due to having breakfast and having to get dressed first.
If you're from the US, you obviously haven't been to a Dr. in the last ten years. I just changed my primary care physician because my DR. was booking two months out for "any" appointment. Everyone in my area has that much of a wait or longer. I'm getting decent times going to a non-profit clinic. What imaginary country are you living in?
La sanidad debe ser un derecho universal, la educación también…, gracias señora por su valioso testimonio. España 🇪🇸 no debe bajar la guardia y seguir progresando , debe pagar mucho más a sus magníficos profesionales, de otra forma el talento se irá fuera de España.
SOMOS TAN SOLIDARIOS QUE SOMOS TONTOS. VETE A LOS PAISES DE ESTA GENTE HABER SI TE DAN TANTAS COSAS COMO AQUÍ.
It's incredible that such a rich country like the USA has no public health care.
As and American I can't understand why can't we stop thinking about healthcare as a business instead of a right. Why don't we take care of our most precious asset (our citizens) is beyond me. We are brainwashed here thinking that we're #1 at everything. I lived in Spain and saw 1st hand how amazing and cheap it is there to be taken care of. People there live a lot longer not only because of the European (Mediterranean diet) but also because their healthcare extends people's lives.
Haha well my guess as an European is that not thinking about healthcare as a business is considered unpatriotic and pure communism in the US .. in fact all of the 10 commandments are if not spoken by one from the party movement are pure communisms ... the good Samaritan for sure must have been an enemy to the US...
@@Stinoco Yes, you have the right to go bankrupt if something happens to your health and can't pay (like my cleaning lady.) We have the most expensive and the worst HC of any industrialized country in the World. In countries like Spain, France, Italy, etc. you go through the emergency room and they see you instantly (10 mins tops.) I took my girlfriend who was fainting in the Emergency room and over 2 hrs before see saw a Dr. They wanted to make sure they could get their grabby hands on he money (good thing she has good insurance.) My point is that until they had her ss#, insurance info, etc. they did not make any efforts towards getting her a doctor. I have experienced this first hand. We are great at creating a competitive economy in the US but it is sad to see our HC and pharma companies bleeding us. We allow it because most people here don't know any better.
@@Stinoco No, in the USA health is not a right, it is a business. It is not a Right if all citizens, rich and poor, cannot have it.
Because america is shyt.

Our country, government, healthcare system has failed America!
I got braces in norway once and it costed 10,000$ but since my parents had paid tens of thousands of dollars in taxes they got a 8,000$ in discount. So much for «free healthcare»
No one said health care is free. However, it is a need for all humans in human bodies, so everyone should have access to it, just as we have access to roads, schools, libraries, police and fire protection. All of these are financed by progressive taxes where people contribute according to what they can afford.
You're kidding with us. We do not have prices in Norway for any hospitals - where you get a discount. If your parents work in Norway and pay taxes - you will never pay more than about $ 50 for a hospital visit. You will never know what it costs. If you have travel insurance, the bill will be sent to the insurance company. If you have visited a private hospital - which we also have - then they can have a reimbursement agreement with the State. Such hospitals often operate with body improvements. Throughout the year, you never pay more than $ 220 for a hospital, doctor, transport or medicine - afterwards everything is free.
Actually, dental care isn't included in the next to free health system in Norway. And braces are very expensive... Love from Oslo 😳 🇳🇴

Come on, Spain is EU, of course it is better than US
I am spaniard. And for me USA is a great country. I adore America. And the 99% if people who i know too. All the countries must change things with the time. No only the usa. Believe me: America is a very, very, very nice nation. And people, in general, is lovely. GOD bless America & Viva España 🇪🇸🇪🇺 ♥️ 🇺🇲
Cooperations have oput in system to brainwash people into thinking free market has more value then the life of a citizens. This is why they hammer you so hard into beliving leftwing is evil. China say thank you to all the jobs created by the american companies that flee the country to pay workers less, wonder how many american jobs is now in the hands of other countries? Btw US leftwing is still further rightwing then my country's rightwing 🤦♂️They're so confused what they wanna be and who they wanna serve. Turn towards the people alone and you'll fuck yourself in the ass by making companies upset and not getting any of those big donations. So they double down and in the eyes of the people it just becomes sad. But then again, gotta have lived with the benefits to actually see how bad others have it. Democrats in US havent lived with any benefits but only try to mirror what EU countries does. Wont work since you are half way in, half way out. In 4 years republicans will rule again and all work so far will be removed. Cooperate america. Sad reality.
2 things, 1) healthcare in the US is expensive regardless of the material reasons. What I mean by this is that we are chronically unhealthy in the US over an average life span causing the average costs to be high. Even if a person pays for their care however unhealthy they are, there are so many who do not and that cost gets passed along. Additionally the cost of health insurance is high, because we are unhealthy and the over all costs get passed along to us. Because hospitals', insurance companies and everyone in between are businesses who are in the business of making profit , this makes healthcare in the US expensive on top of all the other reasons. 2) we are all victims of a toxic food environment and its making us sick slowly over our lifetimes. You would be hard pressed to find a meal in the US that didn't have sugar and salt added in it. In comparison to a person living 100 years ago or more the amounts are huge. We in turn are addicted to this just due to how our physiology evolved and so we eat it preferentially. After eating this food over the course of a lifetime we on average have high rates of heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer, etc. This is not talked about as policy because its profitable for the businesses in US healthcare, essentially reducing the US population to a commodity, like cattle. The only way to change this for the better is to admit this and hold food industries accountable like we did with big Tabaco. Then we would need to have basically a revolution to change it to a socialized healthcare system because we would essentially be killing off all those companies that are dependent on the human cattle industry.
Well said, Johnny B. The US system treats humans as a commodity, rather than human beings. That's why health care reform is a branch of the social justice movement, where a health care system will not be about the profit of the few, but the health of all.
