Im from The Netherlands so i gues my... opinion would realy help..
The questions are as follows:
1. What, do you think about your country's healthcare system is adequate or in-adequate?
AdeQuate.. I never experienced big troubles with our healthcare system…
I just believe the system works just fine as it does I mean.. as far as I know in the past years there never have being big changes.. so I gues we got a good healthcare system.
2. In your own personal opinion, what changes could be made in order to make healthcare in your home country more efficient for the people who live there?
Maybe start of more acceptance for forreign doctors.. and specialists.. Because in some cases those people are better educated than our own and we should just accept them… (im not saying they should steal locals jobs but and also im not promoting foreign people cause of my origin).
ALSO there should realy be a lot more people who want to donate organs.. cause
We realy have a short on donors.
3. Should healthcare be provided by the government or by an employer and why so?
I think there always should be both government controlled as employer con-trolled healthcare.. if either of 1 gets to controle all healthcare things.. this spe-cific 1 would get a monopoly position and just would turn out bad..
4. What do you think healthcare should provide or incompass?
Healthcare should always provide stable and good service with.. professional educated staff. Healthcare should start at time of getting involved with it.. and only end when everything is fine and the patient is doing well.
5. How long does it usually take for a patient to see the doctor?
This realy depends on what ur.. ((problems)) (( complications)) are…
I mean ofcourse some one looking for a donor has to wait a lot longer than.. some one who broke something..
6. How is healthcare and services allocated in your own country? (I.E. first-come-first-serve basis or by emergency of situation)
it’s a bit of both… *and a third.. corrupt thing*….
Mainly its first come first serve.. if you are on top of the list u get care first..
BUT if some one cant wait much longer and his life is at stake. Than he wil be helped first ofcourse…
The 3e… there are known issues that people wil lots of money can just.. well get pushed from place 20030 to.. place 1 or 2 by just… (((donating some money))) / bribing I gues its called… This realy sux but well it happends…
7. By transportation, how long does it take for you specifially to arrive at the ne-arest doctors office? Is this inconvient for certain emergencies or is it reason-able?
Lets say Um if they would have to pick me up from home It would take them about 15 18 mins to the nearest hospital… by ambulance.. but there is helipad hospital nearby.. and with helicopter maybe it takes.. 8 mins? Maybe less..
So yea its pretty reasonable..
8. Taking into consideration the healthcare system in the U.S. pre-Healthcare Bill passing, which system would you prefer to have, your own country or the U.S.? Why do you favor this system as compared to the one you didn't choose?
To bad I realy don’t understand this question.. what I can filter its something.. about payment of the care u got but im not sure… if u reply to me and explain this question more simple I wil try to give my opinion about it..
9. Did the doctor meet all your needs or were you referred to see a specialist?
Um in many cases of just a flue or some infection doctors can 9 out of 10 times help u Or atleast they wil try… But if u come back to them with same problems they wil always send u to some one more specialized…
10. If you were referred to a specialist, how long did it take you to travel to this specialist?
It takes about um 25 minutes from my ((general practitioner (huisarts in dutch) to get to the nearest hospital with the needed specialisation.
Okay im realy sorry for any mistakes or typos... my english aint perfect and i didn't have time/ wanted to search up words so i just typed straight away..
I hope this helps u a bit
