Health care in the US

today many Americans are worry about health insurance they have in their bill. many of them worry about thing whether they are going to have an appropriate treatment or not with the bill that they have paid. the fact that the most private company doesn't want to bankrupt make any sense that the consumers do not get enough service. the thing that happens is too many people that have paid their insurance company always get denials when they need their insurance to fund the medical treatment with the serious illness. many of them get denial notification sent to their mailbox.

people get denial with the reason of the physical of their body; too tall, to fat, to short, etc. it doesn't make any sense for the people who need medical treatment for the emergency condition. most of them who didn't get medical treatment immediately or not intensively died. it is very worrying condition where health insurance are supposed to care people instead they make people die.

the high price of medicine is another problem in the US. people have to pay at least $20 to pay their medicine bill for every single time they see the doctor. that is so impressive remembering that the medicine in Latin America is so much cheaper than any in the US. in Latin America they just have to pay for five cent for the liquid eye drop, but here in the united states we pay about $105 for the same size of bottle. then in Latin America they pay about $215 average per year/person and people here pay $7000 average per year/person. the big difference amount of money a little makes sense that everything in the Us is more expensive than any other countries in Latin America. if we calculate them, we still pay more for less.

the other worrying problem is the unemployed. here is hard to get their health insurance. they have no mediator to the health insurance company that usually have been provided by the company where they work at. it is getting worse and worse if the poor people/unemployed even do not get their health care because they can not pay the bill in one time after they get treatment.

knowing that we have so may problems about health care, we should learn from the other country how to manage the budget to conduct health care in out country. in Canada, people can get their free treatment for the injury, either in European country such as France, England, etc and even in Latin America. they got a doctor that comes to their home for emergencies. even they help people who do not have enough money to go to see their doctor. there is supposed to be a way for the US to get rid of this problem. one of the way is to make all health insurance controlled by the government, but it might not work, because there are too many private health insurance company in the US. the other way is to co-operate the government or private company to work together. they can help each other by doing cross subsidy. the other word is to make the private health care to be a semi-private company. so either the private company or government works together in managing their financial to take care all the people in the US.

other from above, the prior problem that should have been solved by the government is to make sure that all people in the US get their health insurance because not all people in the US do have their health insurance. then the government can take the one more step forward to handle how all people get their insurance evenly. so take one step to make sure that people get their insurance is the most important than we step further. in this way. it makes the government easier to make health insurance available for all. we do not want to hear more tears because people die. we do not want more tears because people feels bad of their diseases. so let us, as the society that concern much about health care, participate to support the government to make health care better and available for all.
