Dear all, today my post is about the film: SICKO
Sicko is a movie that shows the health system in different countries, including stories of different people.
Personally, this movie I liked a lot because it allowed me to meet other health systems around the world, how they work, generating repercussions on the population, changes in the lives of different people, etc.
It is impressive to see two people from different countries, which share the same disease can have such different outcomes in health care, as the latter varies in the country in which it is located, for example, in the U.S. we can see that to receive attention, you must pay a large sum of money only for covers a few things. Also, if you go for any type of emergency, first they observe if you can or not pay this.
In contrast, in countries like France, Canada, England, you only have that to go to the health center and you will be served immediately without distinction to anyone. This system is funded for each person by taxes, which guarantees free health care (public health system). This dynamic does not mean that the service is bad, on the contrary, the users report that is high quality and fast.
In Chile is trying to achieve this system, and with this purpose was created the AUGE, which until now could not work perfectly, because it requires changes like give more money to this for upgrade the standard, the quality, the coverage, etc.
Hi Rodrigo,
ResponderEliminarI´m happy to see that you liked the film. And, yes, you are right in that in Chile people have made some attempts. But still we are very much behind, don´t you think?
Cheers,
Claudia
