Health Care in the USA
A Chinese Perspective
Spring 2015
Selia, my student from China, is in CA right now and she is sick. She posted a request on Facebook and asked us what medicine she could take for what sounds like an abscessed tooth. Several of us suggested that she go to a doctor/dentist.
In China, there is no cost to see a doctor or dentist. But there is a cost for medicine. Last year, I went to a doctor who gave me three boxes of medicine and charged me $5. I remember Selia thought I had paid too much money for that service.
Today, she went to a doctor and this is what she posted on Facebook:
"I think the most expensive thing in America is to be sick. The doctors are like robbers."
