Rich americans, because Insurance companies dont work that way. I am picking a 100% common health care need. Friends of ours lived in Brussels for a number of years. There third child was born in Brussels. The experience was vastly different than what a US patient goes through. I have had 3 children and all 3 were cessarian births. We did not stay in the hospital more than 4 days from the time we checked in until the time we checked out. It is very common in the US for a mother and child to be out of the hospital within 2 days of giving birth. Our friends experience in Brussels was vastly different. With a normal birth the mother and child stayed in the hospital for a week. Then for another couple weeks they had a nurse come by everyday to assist. In the US that is healthcare that the rich get. Insurance companies dont work that way. They want you out as soon as possible no matter what. |
then thats the exception not the rule. my sister and her husband make ~40k a year, and she has had 2 cessarians, and both times she stayed in the for 4+ days.
had nurses by her side the whole time, and had a room to herself, was served served food etc. and i wouldnt take any healthcare system in the world over ours.
