About
the system of voluntary health insurance in the United States can be talked a
long, analyzing all aspects. But Americans themselves, and not until the end
understood medical opportunities and facilities undergoing permanent change.
Summarizing
said, it must be noted that the voluntary medical insurance-American heritage,
it could be called the American know-how (know how).
Regarding
the voluntary health insurance, the very notion of "voluntary" - a
purely American. Europe is developing a different type of insurance, namely
compulsory or national (state) medicine, and leaving a niche for the voluntary,
but very small.
Even
with America neighboring Canada from that point of view closer to Europe. In
Canada, there is a mandatory health insurance.
Of
course, one can not oppose America to other countries, especially in the home
and that the uncle Sam, not all health insurance voluntarily.
"Medicare" and "Medicaid" is a government program of state
(national) medicine, "sprouts" health care system, different from the
voluntary forms of insurance. But this is hardly a new completely displace the
old. Healthy competition, animating and improves medical service, the creation
of the market of medical services, is the task of health insurance in the
United States. Mandatory (or public), his form can be introduced without
detriment to volunteer. Indeed, America considers itself free country, and the
notion of "freedom of choice" suggests, alternative. No monopoly
should not become the ideal form of operation, especially in such an important
for every area of medicine.
In
countries with compulsory health insurance the recent emergence of voluntary
insurance is welcome. And as otherwise evaluate every opportunity to choose the
clinic, professionals? Health is so delicate that everyone wants their decision
to entrust only highly professional doctor razbirayuschemusya in matters of
ethics. If the doctor poorly absorbed vrach-patsient science of the
relationship, the latter will always have the opportunity to meet with another
specialist.
