1) Facts:

• The USA is one of the most developed countries in the world, but it does not provide health care for all.
• Medical care is not free, but many hospitals provide some free or low-cost care for those who cannot pay.
• The USA has no public health service, so most people have private health insurance.
• America with its private insurance-based system spends 14% of GDP on health. Britain with its popular state-funded NHS spends only 7%.
• There are people who receive medical care through social programmes. They are Medicare, which is intended for people over 65 and the disabled, and Medicaid, which is available to the poor.
• Self-employed private physicians receive a fee for each patient’s visit, but some medical doctors are on a salary.

Opinions:

• I think that in many ways it is a wonderful system, but in many other ways it is a catastrophe.
• They say that when the world’s rich want the best treatment money can buy, they usually go to the USA.
• Small wonder, most new medical techniques and technologies become available in America before anywhere else.

Ответ

The US medical care service is a mixed system: it is modern and advanced, but it is also expensive and not available to everyone. It has both advantages and disadvantages.
