How dark is the healthcare system in the United States?

Isn't that human hope?

The medical care there should be great, right?

First of all, great, these two words describe American medical care, and that's limited.

The qualifying condition is simple, that is, you have money.

Yes, as long as you have money, then the medical care in the United States is great, but if you don't have the money, then it will be over, and the medical care in the United States will not be so great at that time.

How much does that cost?

Gyllenhaal has already said just now, if you take an ambulance, it will cost you 1,000 yuan, which is dollars. In other words, an ordinary ambulance will cost you so much money, and you haven't seen the disease yet.

The specific amount of money has to be analyzed in detail, but looking at this meaning, it seems that this money is indispensable.

Isn't there health insurance in the United States? It should be reimbursed, right?

The matter of medical insurance is very talked about in the United States, but it is very complicated, and it may not even be able to be finished in a day or two......

It's okay, Wu Xiang's joining is just the beginning, let's take it slowly.

“…… With the advent of AIDS, our company began to use AZT, an anti-cancer drug, on infected animals, and we have made good progress...... Preliminary findings show that the number of white blood cells has rebounded, and the immunity of T cells is also being repaired......"

The two doctors just now, a man and a woman, both appeared at a meeting, and the person presiding over the meeting at this time was a man in a straight suit, quite personable. Apparently not a doctor, he should have come from a pharmaceutical company.

At this time, the female doctor spoke. If you have paid attention to Wu Xiang's movie, you should be able to see that this female doctor is Farmiga, who has collaborated with Wu Xiang in "Source Code" before.

"AZT was first invented in 1964 and was already defined as a highly toxic drug, so why should it be used in clinical practice now?"

Actually, before her, the male doctor had already asked. It is the number jù of AZT in the real yàn, and there is obviously a phenomenon of red/white blood cell reduction, however. And that was the end of the day.

The guy in the suit immediately replied, "We control the measurement of AZT, and his antiviral effect is stronger than all the previous test drugs." ”

"Then I think we need more animals. "That's what 'Farmiga' wants to say. Because this thing obviously has side effects.

"But in fact. "The guy in the suit is very good at talking. "The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has allowed us to do human realization. That's why I'm here today. ”

Now, everyone understands what this is a meeting, so will a drug with such side effects be used in clinical practice?

"We're going to roll it out across the country, and yours, the hospital, will be the focus of Dallas. And the doctors will have an additional remuneration allowance, which is promised by the pharmaceutical company. ”

This last sentence. That's very critical, to put it bluntly, you can use this drug, use it boldly, and if you use it, our pharmaceutical company will give you money.

Is this a red envelope?

Is this a bribe? No, it's perfectly legal!

With such conditions coming out, are there any reasons for hospitals and doctors to oppose them?

"Don't you think it's crazy? These guys are talking about saving people, but look at the glittering gold watches in their hands......

Farmiga clearly saw the problem with the matter, and he was angry with the male doctor, but he couldn't stop it.

That male doctor is obviously capable of taking care of things, and in our country, he should be regarded as a director.

"Like it or not, business is business. ”

That's right, business is business, and medical care is a big business in the United States, a very, very big business, and now, in this movie, it's just the tip of the iceberg.

"Is there anyone coming to my rescue...... Is there anyone to help me......"

At this time, the screen screen shows the scene in the hospital, a guy who looks like a patient is moaning at this time, but no one has come to help.

"What's going on?" Farmiga didn't want to talk nonsense with the guy with the gold watch in his hand, but when she saw this, she had to ask.

"Doctor, the guy made an appointment, it was supposed to be tomorrow, but he couldn't wait. A nurse answered.

"Oh well. "Farmiga, such a righteous doctor, she can't do anything.

That's right, queues, which is a common occurrence in hospitals, but it's weird.

If you can make an appointment, then you actually have medical insurance, because medical care in the United States is like this, if you have medical insurance, go to your 'family doctor' first, and the family doctor will see how your problem is, if the problem is very strict, then go to make an appointment, go and wait, if you can't wait, what then?

Go to the emergency room, but there is one point, the medical insurance is not covered by the emergency department, although the medical insurance in the United States itself is divided into many companies, there is no company's coverage, and which hospital's bill is reimbursed by which company, which has strict and detailed regulations, but emergency, everyone does not care.

There is another trick, that is, to go to a private hospital, but it still needs money, and the word private sounds like a lot of money.

In other words, if you really can't wait, then you have to have money, if you don't have money, then keep waiting, and even the family doctor sometimes has to make an appointment first.

So, actually, one of the great drawbacks of the U.S. health care system is, wait!

There are many examples of people who have a cold, and then wait and wait, and then get better. Therefore, when the movie presents this scene, many people actually have some empathy.

Of course, this bridge, the original movie still does not have it, Wu Xiang is just completing the task given by Comrade Guanhai.

Ron, the protagonist, quickly found a drug to treat his illness, which was AZT, so he took the money and asked the cleaner at the hospital to buy black goods.

But this guy can really die, while eating AZT. While still smoking DU, it is conceivable that he fainted again. Entered the hospital.

This time he was almost dead, but he met someone.

"Do you want to finish poker?...... a man with a somewhat glamorous appearance, he is the other protagonist of this film, Jared Leto played by Leon.

As soon as the character of "......" appeared, many rotten girls were moved again, because anyone could see it. This Leon is a.

The men are all charming, and they can't even tell that this person is a man, isn't this a?

In fact. Jared Leto had that kind of bewitching temperament, he was like that when he was in the band, and now, he's very thin. It makes people feel this way even more.

And. Living next to Ron, this guy must be an AIDS patient.

It's almost common sense that friends are susceptible to AIDS......

In fact, the plot of the entire movie has not changed much, but sometimes, Wu Xiang will add some small stories.

Ron couldn't stay any longer, and he was leaving the hospital. Farmiga tried to stop it, but it didn't work. And this time.

"I beg you, help me get a discount again, I beg you, or I won't be able to pay this bill at all, I don't have any cash at all, and my job is gone. ”

"We've already discounted it for you, it's really been discounted, this price is no longer available to anyone, if you can't afford it, then you shouldn't look for us, you should go to find a job, or go to the bank, pay in installments. ”

This is a patient, and it should be a conversation between a cured patient and a doctor.

So, what is this bill that can't be paid?

"I know you helped me with the discount, but I really didn't expect that I just had pneumonia, and I stayed in your hospital for 5 days, and I was charged 50,000 US dollars, even if I had insurance at the time, but then I had to pay 8,000 US dollars, 8,000 US dollars! Because of those 5 days of hospitalization, I was also fired by my damn boss, where do you say I can find this 8,000 dollars, where can I pay in installments?!"

Such a miserable patient is none other than Jennifer Lawrence. After working with Wu Xiang once before, Lawrence's star journey is much brighter, and she ...... this time Wait a minute!

$50,000 pneumonia?

How is this possible?

Pneumonia is a disease, although it can kill if it is not good, but under today's medical conditions, it is not difficult to cure this thing, and the key is that this person has only been hospitalized for 5 days, which shows that this pneumonia is not strict, right?

But that cost $50,000? That's, isn't it?

Are you Wu Xiang a black American emperor who is crazy? Do you even dare to talk nonsense about such an unreliable thing?

Many reporters from China are already looking at each other, and even muttering quietly, is this possible?

Wu Xiang is really wronged, because he is really not talking nonsense, the reason why he doubts the cost of treatment is because many of our people have never seen a doctor here in the United States, and they don't know what the medical price is in the United States.

If nothing else, to treat pneumonia, you have to check and take an X-ray or something, do you know how much an X-ray is taken in an American hospital?

$900, that's still the starting price!

If you have seen a doctor in our country, you should have a feeling in your heart, a chest X-ray is about 30-60 yuan, which is still RMB, but the United States is 900 US dollars, do you like to shoot or not.

However, some people will definitely say that it is an American X-ray, that is a dish of X-rays, other people's films are good, other people's films are good, and they are worth so much money!

If you listen to this kind of talk often, you will really get drunk, and in the face of such a person, no one will be able to do it.

But then again, the matter of $50,000 in 5 days is a real event, and in fact, other hospitals are really discounting patients, if there is no discount, then ...... It can also be said that all the 'little things' that happened before, the small problems of seeing a doctor, are actually real incidents, and they are not made by Wu Xiang nonsense.

Therefore, in the entire viewing hall, it was our domestic reporters who whispered, and the American audience did not feel anything strange about this.

Normal, isn't it?

However, it can also be seen from this that this is the price of medical care in the United States.

So, how much does it cost to enjoy this 'great' medical treatment?

To be honest, no one knows, but anyway, there is no upper limit to this...... (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you to Baihu Lao Xiong, thank you Wanghaichao 8060, thank you for your evaluation votes and monthly passes, thank you very much!

I saw an anecdote before, a couple fantasized about 5 million, and then the two of them began to sum up how to divide the money, but there were disagreements and injustices when they were divided, and as a result, the two of them fought and later called the police......

Let's look at this thing the other way around, it's good to have dreams, hehehe......

The black car asks for support, asks for support, thank you!
