the health care system
One of the differences between China and the United States is the medical insurance that is provided by the companies where you work.How many people have medical insurances or how many companies that people work at will provide the medical insurances?In China,there are a few people have medical insurances.Even though they are employees in one of the companies,they won’t be provided medical insurances.According to the article “Private Payers and Insurance Companies” about 44.8% of urban people and 79.1% of rural people have no medical insurance.Even though they work at full time job or work in big company,that the employer would not buy the medical insurance to the employees.Because they either can not afford to buy medical insurance or do not understand the value of medical insurance; therefore,they would not buy the medical insurance.If they work at government department,such as teacher,the government will provide the medical insurance for the teacher.In contrast to China,there are a lot of people who work in the United States will provide the medical insurance.According to “Health Care in the United States” that the premiums for family coverage have increased 78% since 2001,and the employer paid the health insurance for their employees are rising.If the employees work as full time job and work at big companies that the employers will buy the medical insurance to their employees for benefit.Because of the medical insurance is very expansive for people who live in the United States.If they don’t have medical insurance,they will spend a lot of money to pay the medical health fees when they need to see the doctor.Therefore,many people would like to buy the medical insurance in the United States.
