Being in healthcare, I don't like it one bit. I think people would be really shocked to learn of the extreme waste in healthcare. Everyone, I'm sure, expects some, but it's truly unreal. In long term care alone, if a patient has an order for a narcotic medication, the pharmacy fills the prescription, sends it under lock to whatever facility....if that prescription is discontinued a day later, ALL of that medication has to be destroyed....buh-bye, money wasted! I think if waste like this was not occurring, much money would be saved. This is just one example.
What do you think of your country's healthcare? What would you change if you could? Serious replies only
It's ok but there is always room for improvement.
In America it's quite different for everybody. It all depends on where you work. I for one get one of the best, my employer takes care of most of it.
However I feel like healthcare shouldn't be like that. It shouldn't be something a person should be worrying about. When you go to the hospital, you shouldn't be screened for your financial capabilities. Having proper healthcare should be a universal right.
I'm all for voluntary dismissal from a universal healthcare system though. Either by choice or by irresponsibility. Like if your doctor tells you to lose weight, because it's the cause of your illness but you refuse, you should be taken off from becoming everyone's burden.
