Health Care


Now a days Health care is one of the most debated issues today. There are many systems of health care around the world today, ranging from advanced national health services in countries such as Sweden and Britain, to systems such as the American, where public health care is almost completely in the hands of private insurance companies. Aside from the financial aspect, there are many differences in the attitude towards preventive care versus care of the already sick.
Even the amount of attention paid to aftercare ranges greatly from place to place.

Ideally, everyone wants a health care system where one's financial status does not affect the quality of care one receives; where there are an abundance of excellent doctors of different specialities on hand for every ailment; where hospitals are run efficiently and without discrimmination, treating rich and poor alike; where regular check-ups and innoculations are given free-of-charge not only to those who demand them, but through a reaching-out system; where after-care is ensured to all, including efficient care of the elderly and disabled.

Unfortunately, few countries – including those which so proudly run free National Health Services – can really boast that they have reached a satisfactory level of health care for the population at large. Almost all health care systems are wallowing in the mud of consistent goverment cuts, strikes (as a result of the cuts) and long waiting lists. Only when the electorial public will come forward and demand changes will health care ever become a subject that goverments will take seriously.
