So how does the whole US hospital/medical care system work? Really all I know is that one needs to have medical insurance to enable satisfactory medical care, but I don`t know how this works - e.g. how much are you required to pay; how comprehensive is this; how do you cope if you are unemployed etc.
As I`m sure you`re aware, here (in the UK) we have the National Health Service which, although flawed in certain areas, is free to everyone. We also have private health companies (e.g. BUPA), but these are in addition to the NHS facilities. I do feel that we are lucky to have this system. I`m just interested to know how the US system works.
Cheers
Anna.
