Ricardo and Melike are students in the Beginning Low ESL class in the morning The United States Healthcare System When I moved to the US and joined medical insurance, I found the US health system has good aspects but also has bad aspects. People could visit very experienced doctors and get the newest effective medicine in the world if people have terrible diseases. That is fortunate. But the bad news is that people might wait for 2 months or longer. As you know, some diseases will develop fast as time flies by. Time is life. Wasting time is a murder. The healthcare system could be improved by both government and hospitals. Firstly, the government should help to establish the digital hospital system so that doctors could get all the records from the electronic system whatever patients visit other hospitals. Patients also could get more convenience from telemedicine. They don’t need to visit doctors in person, and it also saves doctor’s time. Doctors always need to spend time on asking the past illness experiences of patients. The digital hospital system will help both doctors and patients. Also, I think if there are more healthcare assistant workers it will be more helpful to the processing of hospitals. The government should cover more percentage cost to certificated schools and give more help to people who want to be healthcare assistants. After that, there will be more healthcare workers working in the system. Therefore, if the healthcare system could be improved, people could get healthcare services faster before diseases developed, and they could use the newest technology and medicine for treatment. That would be the most advanced healthcare system in the world. Xiaolu is a student in the Advanced ESL class in the morning
