As an Argentinian, I can see that there are several differences with the North American health system. For example, besides the differences in the economic cost of different procedures, Argentinians get their prescriptions and are their medications without any restrictions or identification whatsoever.Therefore, there are things that might confuse citizens from different countries.Sushan wrote: ↑31 May 2021, 23:52 The author is a US based doctor and her book is based on US healthcare system.

What are the controversial or unusual points that you noticed comparatively to your own experience on your healthcare system?
For an example, in my country, each and every citizen is entitled for '100% free of charge' healthcare facilities. There are few lacking areas because everything has to be provided by the government. But there is no need to have a health insurance to get hospitalised or no need to go through a primary healthcare practitioner to reach a speciality. But if anyone wants, there are plenty of options in the private sector as well.

I was wondering the same thing, as my family members in Europe and in Canada have a much different approach to their medical care. They are puzzled by the availability of private care, the choices we have here, and the freedom we have to see and choose specialists we like...just a different way of thinking, so I think it definitely has a slant towards a US-based audience.Sushan wrote: ↑31 May 2021, 23:52 The author is a US based doctor and her book is based on US healthcare system.

The concept oh health care system is relevant, in my country particularly, people rarely use health care insurance, atleast that I am aware of. Most times people just go to the hospital when their sick and pay there. With the countries economy I doubt health care is even affordable to the average citizen let alone free.
