                                        Covid and Healthcare

One thing we should worry about is if I get the virus, would I be able to pay for it or I will be covered? I was interested in comparing my country and the United States. In the United States, a person can get covered easily when he applies for, but you will need to meet the qualifications. Usually, it depends on the person income. Sometimes I do not get it when my mom go to the hospital and they tell her to apply for financial assistance. I remember, they financial assistance, did not approve her due to her income. I do not know if the government realize that people do not live to their math. Most of the money, citizen get paid, they use it for rent, pay tuition, have  a family to take care off and most important they have saving. How do you expect to have these kind of person to pay the hospital fee. This year, many changed. So many were approved, my mom visit was covered and financial assistance took care of many people. This is not worst in my country. 

In the Drc, where rich people are most politicians, it is difficult for most of the people to pay for their hospital expenses. My uncle who needed a surgery went to one of the capital biggest hospital and they could not operate him because he did not have the amount of money they asked. The type of money they asked, even a part timer in the U.S will need to to work for a 1 years without using her money. In a country where jobs are hard, it is obviously impossible to bring out the money out of packet. One thing that cannot be done in the US is paying money before the surgery. In The Congo, before getting treatment, you will need to pay the money first. It does not matter to them if you are going to die, but no money no treatment. This is not helping the population. During this time of virus, I wonder what would happen to millions of people who got the virus. The only solutions the country is relying on is the social distance and  washing hands. What I think is very important in a country is having a strong healthcare, because all those social workers will not rely on people’s money, but the country money.
