It’s painful to read stories like this. I really feel for all the people who can’t afford to see a doctor whenever they need it.
I live in Spain and here we have a social security network paid by the people through taxes. It has its flaws, as probably everything has, but we have people here saying that it doesn’t work and we’d be better paying for private insurances to get better attention and pay less taxes.
The thing is that today a private insurance can cost 50-100€ per person, something completly affordable, but what the people saying this doesn’t take into account is that the private companies have a backup with the national health service. The private insurance is great for small things, seeing your physician, a small surgery… but if you have a serious problem they’ll send you to the national health service to be treated.
I hope you can have a proper treatment for your illness and that it doesn’t cost you an arm and a leg. I also hope that your country can find a way to help everyone equally and not just those who can afford it.
