Best in the world if you're middle class or higher.

OK if you're destitute.

Prohibitively expensive to use if you're in between the two.

Pretty much this.

Our local hospitals are slaughterhouses so I have to drive two hours to the big city but those are some of the best in the world.

I make shit wages but my company spends $900 a month for some of the best insurance in the nation while only charging me $30 a month. I really can't complain.

We have a lot of flaws, but the USA genuinely no-joke has the best surgeons in the world -- it's one of our greatest assets.

Fully socialized, free healthcare. Here the brazillian citizen has access to the very best socialism can offer.

6/10 too slow because every fucking single mom brings her ratpack to the ER when they get the sniffles.
Our nurses make way too much per hour, do little actual work and make it so the money we do put into the system just gets eaten up, instead of actually going towards helping people.

>on the presmise that "health care" does not mean "health care insurance"
In that most every rich person and foreign leader in the world comes to our country to have their medical procedures done, and in that our country produces 57% of the world's new pharmaceuticals, I'd say it's pretty damn good, and will remain so only for as long as the left and their progressive republican allies don't keep fucking it up.

where can i find more videos of monkeys doing human things?

it's my birthday today and my ex who I still love and claimed to (((((want to remain friends)))))) didn't even bother sending me birthday wishes, but that gif made me laugh, thanks greatest ally

Does it not worry you that if you get really sick for some reason and then lose your job you will be forced to pay?

In England the main reason our hospitals are failing is all the immigrants. They flood in from Europe also (they are called health tourists) to get free treatment. They clog up the system and cost the NHS billions a year.

Also when i visit my local doctors its like ive walked into a hospital in the middle of Islamabad. Its just 95% Muslims.


A story on ''health tourism''. Google it for some stories, its a popular term in the UK.

Chicago local news stations

sounds absolutely fucking infuriating

>Does it not worry you that if you get really sick for some reason and then lose your job you will be forced to pay?

No they also have a policy for that but idk what they pay. I'm lucky though as most people don't get that.

>you will be forced to pay?

If you're genuinely in need of immediate medical care then the hospital cannot deny you for any reason, regardless of your ability to pay. Later on you get hit with a big bill (assuming you left genuine identifying information). At this point you have 2 options: call the hospital and inform them you have no insurance and therefore cannot afford the sticker price hospital bill (which nobody pays). They will give a new, much lesser bill and offer installment plans to pay it off. Or 2: you throw the bill in the garbage and nothing happens except your credit score gets tanked.

It is.

But they introduced new laws that people will need to show ID and a passport at hospitals its gotten that bad.

pretty good as long as you dont get any serious illness

like, its free, but it doesnt really work, i almost died from a bleeding ulcer because my doctor decided it was prolly just gas

uncle died from heart attack because "sure, its been 2 days since you had your last heart attack and everything looks fine"

i could give more examples but you get the idea

>Pros
it's free
>Cons
it's shit

I dont know, I have been to doctors maybe three or four times in my life. I guess its ok if you dont get sick very often but if you have serious illness you might die waiting for an apointment.

>The estimated cost of normal use of the NHS—by foreign visitors who've ended up being treated while in England—is £1.8 billion a year (including a small number of European visitors treated in the rest of the UK). This includes the cost of treating them in A&E, though visitors aren't currently charged for this, and the cost of treating some foreigners resident in England who currently don't incur charges.

>Only around £500 million per year is estimated to be recoverable or chargeable according to the Department for Health. In reality only £100 million was recovered in 2013/14.

Just to give some people an idea

I'm in America, so there's not much to say other than

"if ya poor, ya fucked™"

If you mean public, here it depends vastly on the hospital itself. Some are paradises, others are slaughterhouses. In general, it's shit. However, on the times I personally had to use it, I got great attention and everything went perfectly. Granted, it was mostly plasters, burns and a cyst removal, nothing big,

Why would anyone from Europe come here for treatments? I know a polish woman who went back to Poland to get some semi urgent procedure done because she didnt trust dr mohammed.
Also I know several people who went abroad to get their teeth fixed because its much cheaper over there.
Why Europeans would come here is a mystery to me (given that most Europe has public health services)

Pros: good doctors
Cons: we pay healthcare for foreigners

Decent. Could hardly be better tbqh

>takes on average in Alberta 2 years to get an MRI

>wait times are slaughtering people
>more doctors and surgeons are traveling to the US because of better pay.

The only faggots who bloat about our ""'free""" Healthcare are usually the ones that never needed it.

What is healthcare?

it's shit, it costs the most and is the most likely to kill you, voodoo is literally safer

>your credit score gets tanked.

but health bills won't affect your ability to borrow usually because nobody pays these fuckers but stupid goyim

It's even worse they all believe it's FREE! They don't connect the $5,000 of their tax dollars that go to keeping the hospital lights on 24/7.

And there is no incentive to innovate. We are at least 10 years behind healthcare like Kaiser Permanente. We don't have digital access or digital medical records. Don't even think about proposing video calls for doctors.

No.

YOU SIT IN THAT ER WITH NOROVIRUS AND GET EVERYONE ELSE SICK.

You try telling left-wing nut jobs that digital access would be good for the environment and watch them turn into defcon 1 meltdown mode.

I'm sick of it.

The socialized healthcare we have here is abysmal in every way AND takes a monumental chunk of our federal budget.
Private health insurance (yes, you have to pay twice if you expect to get any service whatsoever) is OK to good here in São Paulo (no doubt the situation is quite different in other states), but the prices are rising and so is the wait time for the appointments (months in some cases). If you pay for appointments out of your own pocket (without insurance), you get total priority, but it's quite expensive (but still far from US levels of absurdity).
It's funny, since the socialized healthcare is so fucking useless, the private system is used by everyone in medium class (perhaps even a bit lower than that) and above. Add to that stern government regulations and we're fast converging to another layer of socialized healthcare.

I Will talk about our public healthcare
>Pros
Loads of Meat to practice with if you are a Doctor in bumfuck nowhere
If You are a Doctor with quite some dirt on higher-ups or good relationships, you can embezzle mad money.
You can be literally a fucking butcher,nah not really, My favorite butcher at the nearest meat-market can make some pretty fucking precise cuts and always gives me the best meat,but i have seen Public Doctors commit atrocities on their patients, Like:
>Leaving a Failed Product inside a woman after dismembering it, the woman later comes 2 weeks after with a quite severe peritonitis and a fetus corpse rotting inside her.
>Slicing someone's Femoral Biceps when trying to harvest the Semitendinous and crippling for life the aspiring athlete.
>Killing a old woman by slicing her Neck when trying to drain her tonsils and then bribing the Coroner to blame it on diabetes,It fucking worked.
>A female anesthesiologist Raping over 200 Women coming for Appendectomy when they were Knocked Out.
>A Coroner selling Human bones, I really had to buy the skull with a bullet wound in the Parietal,Shit is sick.

>Cons
You are fucked if you are poor, When isnt that true?

Private Healthcare is a whole different story anyway, My grandma had some breathing problems and when taken to the IMSS, they struggled for days to get her fucking oxygen,after one of my uncles got into a Brawl versus 3 doctos and 5 nurses over their stupidity, we gathered enough money to send her to a quite snobby private clinic and the difference was fucking pathetic, Not even 2 hours after we checked her in and she was already in her private perfectly clean room breathing something from the nebulizer waiting for the blood,piss,shit tests results and the doctor in front of her explaining Her kindly how the dialisis isnt going to kill her, finally managed to convince her to get plugged and in 3 days she was already up and running.

Healthcare in Norway is probably the best part about our nation, to be honest.

You pay a small part of the cost of medicine and treatment (I believe it's called "deductible"?), which cannot exceed $260 in a year. If it does, you are refunded every cent.

This ensures that small, everyday illnesses are treated and people pay fairly for it.

The only downside I see to the system is that they somehow don't include dental care. It's like they think your teeth aren't a part of your body or something..

I'd give it a solid 5/7. Perfect rating.

Hahaha I've heard how your healthcare works it's as slow an ineffective as ours if not more

anyone know what kind of monkey these are?

I'll give some examples about why I think it works out great.

My mom got diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) 20 years ago, and have gotten solid treatment all these years and is now making a return to the workforce after recovering better than most.

My sister got the same thing a few years back, but she had it a lot worse. Even so she got all the treatment and medicines right away, which allowed her to keep working and stay physically active.

My 2 year old son is being diagnosed with autism these day (don't go there), and the swift action of our system has made it possible to adjust and let him have a chance at a normal life.

My grandma went through three rounds of cancer, which she recovered from everytime and died of old age at 89.

There are many more stories, but the point is that we never had to wait long for treatment and never had to worry about paying for it. As far as I know, treatment has been world class.

Damn, that's fascinating.
I'd be interested in your opinions on how the average Norwegian sees life and work, and what the government expects from its citizens.
I see that in your examples the people affected by the condition resumed work as soon as they were able. Is that normal? It's certainly not normal here. People try to milk the system in every way they can, and the system milks the private sector and productive individuals in every way it can.
Best of luck with all those conditions in the family, BTW.

Literally never needed a doctor.

If I'm so sick I need one, fuck it I'll die.

Westerners are pussies.

This is all very true.. but I'm okay with not paying right out of my pocket to see my doctor, get casts, or x-rays at the hospital.

It functions.

7/10

Trust a norwegian to make a decent post and sneak in a covert meme
Keep being the most based nordic country guys

The main focus is to give people a sense of purpose. If they can't keep doing the job they used to, or can't work altogether, they are encouraged to find meaning in other things, like motivational speeches, or whatever..

There's an old, Norse saying (verse 71 in Håvamål (Words of Odin):

"Halt kan ri hest,
uten hånd kan en gjete,
dov kjemper og duger;
blind er bedre
enn brent å være;
lite gagner et lik."

It translates into:

"The lame can ride horse, the handless drive cattle,
the deaf one can fight and prevail,
'tis happier for the blind than for him on the bale-fire,
but no man hath care for a corpse."
This more or less catches the Norwegian spirit. There is always -something- you can do, which will bring you and society some good.

We naturally have our fair share of people trying to cheat the system, but they aren't exactly "native" Norwegians, if you catch my drift.

Thank you for your concern, Thiago.


Elect Marine Le Pen, based France. Save Europe!

We'll try our best
Do you need psychiatrists in your country ? Just asking in case our shit gets fucked even more than it is now

With the way things are going in Europe we'll all be needing a shrink by the end of this decade.

Expensive as fuck.

Wise words
Concerning your son, watch his diet carefully, make sure his intestinal microflora is well-maintained, it does marvels.. wish you lots of courage and patience man

Thank you, we're looking into that. Sadly he is very difficult to feed, but we'll keep trying.

My healthcare is great.

I get about 5+ hours of vigorous exercise a week. My diet is usually quite good. I could use a bit more sleep during the week but I make a point to catch up on sleep on the weekend. Mainly, I make a point to not over tax my system.

Now, if you are asking about medical care...

I am on Tricare through the military and it is really quite good. Tricare would be a great model for socialized medicine if we were able to kick people out of the program for being too fat or getting a DUI, and had mandatory drug testing.

One of the best of the world (ranked as 2nd if i remember well).

That's why we have hundreds of thousands brits and germans (literally, brits are one of the largest migrant communities in Spain, 3rd biggest migrant community I think) in here sucking our healthcare.

same as ours but we have a trillion subhumans clogging it up
