Yesterday I listened to NPR Moth Radio. One of the speakers mentioned his own experience with the American broken health system.
He was robbed and beaten up in New York City. He was in the hospital unconscious for a few days. When he came around a few days later, the nurse asked him the health insurance card. As soon as the hospital found out that he did not have heath insurance, he was asked to leave with broken bones. - He was self-employed at that time. As a self-employed person, you do not work you do not have income. He was unable to pay the rent and was thrown out of his apartment - homeless with a broken body.
The speaker couldn't hold his tears when he spoke. I can feel his sadness and frustration via his voice even though that was a couple years ago incident.
What kinds of health system in this country? What's wrong with us?
