In Brazil we can get lot’s of medicines totally for free. And we have a free public health system.
When I was very young I used to think if a poor country like us had this, everywhere was like this as well.
Discussion
My history teacher told us once a story about when he received a French person home, it was on Rio de Janeiro I think
the person drank water directly from the tap, which... is a bad idea, and then needed to go to the SUS
that day, there was no lines; they entered, got a session, got the medicine, and everything was less than half an hour, and the person was profundly confused about who they should pay for the treatment
this person is now a preacher for public health system... based on this experience with the SUS
🥹 Yes, I hear lot’s of examples like that. When foreigners needs to use our SUS and get surprised that they doesn’t have to pay.
I am hooting for him!
May the whole world have public health system.
