Recently, Liu Yuxin, a well-known domestic actor, shared his personal experience of seeking medical treatment in the United States on social media, bluntly saying that he did not dare to get sick easily in the United States. She described the troubles she encountered while seeing a doctor in the United States, including high medical bills, long waiting times and expensive bills for ambulance services, which attracted the attention and discussion of many netizens.
Liu Yuxin mentioned in the sharing that when he saw a doctor in the United States, he had to wait at least four hours to see a doctor even in the emergency department. And she once needed to see an emergency room because she was sick, and she waited for up to eight hours. Such waiting times are undoubtedly unbearable for patients in urgent need of medical assistance. In the United States, she said, she almost always recovers from illness because the wait for medical treatment is so long.
In addition to the long waiting time, Liu Yuxin was also shocked by the high cost of medical care in the United States. She revealed that her friend called an ambulance because of abdominal pain, but went to the hospital for a turn, and when she returned home, she received a bill of up to $150,000. Such a price discourages many people from calling an ambulance easily.
Liu Yuxin's sharing sparked heated discussions among netizens. Many netizens said that such a medical situation is indeed worrying, and the problem of difficult and expensive medical treatment not only exists in China, but also in the United States. Some netizens commented: "It's so expensive to pay a bill, mom! I use insurance to see a doctor, who dares to pay this price directly?" Some netizens expressed their understanding of Liu Yuxin's feelings, thinking that some diseases can be cured without seeing them, and in the end they all rely on self-healing.
Liu Yuxin's sharing gave us a glimpse of the American medical system. Although the medical technology in the United States is advanced, the high medical costs and long waiting times also make many people feel helpless. It also reminds us that while pursuing the advancement of medical technology, we should also pay attention to the popularization and affordability of medical services, so that more people can enjoy high-quality medical services.
Liu Yuxin's complaint is not unique, and many Chinese living overseas have had similar experiences. This also makes us cherish the increasingly perfect medical security system in China, and also hopes that there will be more measures to reduce medical costs and improve the efficiency of medical services in the future, so that everyone can enjoy timely and efficient medical services.
Liu Yuxin's sharing not only allowed us to see the shortcomings of the U.S. medical system, but also made us think about how to improve the accessibility and affordability of medical services while ensuring the quality of medical care. It is hoped that there will be more reforms and innovations in the future, so that medical care can truly become a basic right that everyone can enjoy.
