And then your hip would break because their medical staff is garage and they don’t have the same regulations as over so no you’re back to square one you fucking tool that is american propaganda used to justify their lack of a working healthcare system. it’s not true and even if it was what good would having slightly better healthcare do if it’s only accessible by the richest members of society? You absolute fucking clown. Lmao Damn. Spains healthcare sure isnt garage like they said God Americans are so fucking brainwashed like seriously imagine thinking a first world country in Europe of all places is medically inferior, the patriot brain rot is strong The rich have spent the entire history of the United States selling the lie of American exceptionalism to the population in order to keep fleecing the brainwashed and stop us from correcting their corruption. Spain is a first world country? Says who? It was a fascist shithole until very recently and before that was proudly a semi-medieval ass backwards enclave regularly struck by civil wars that other countries avoided. It might be more functional than the 21st Century USA but what isn’t in the current world, exactly in the global North? Let’s not shill too hard for a country still ruled by the fucking Bourbons. I’m just rebloging this because of the lack of research I see here, especially this last reblog.Hi all, I’m a Spanish woman. I was born in Spain and lived all my life in this country.I’m a lot offended (and I’m sure every Spanish person who reads it will be). If you don’t know about Spain, don’t say anything (@lightdancer1)When classifications of this kind appear, it is very important to know the criteria that have been taken into account to establish a classification; depending on the values chosen, the classification can change considerably. These are the criteria offered by the World Health Organisation:Patients’ rights and waiting listsLong waiting lists lead to the chronification of illnesses and even deaths due to the failure to provide the required medical service in time.PreventionWe usually think of healthcare as acting exclusively in the face of an already acquired disease, but these rankings also take into account prevention programmes and all the actions carried out to prevent transmition of illnesses in the population.Access to free healthcareEven if the medical service provided is excellent, if there is no service that reaches the majority of the population, one cannot speak of quality medical services.EficiencyThe capacity of a public medical service to provide solutions to patients.Life expectancyIt is well established that quality health systems, in combination with other factors, ensure a longer life for the population.Public investment in healthIn this case, I don’t talk about total investments, but in percentages, usually in relation to the country’s GDP.According to these criteria, Spain is ranked 7th and the US 37th.The Law recognizes the right of all citizens and foreigners to obtain the benefits of the health care system.With the approval in 1997 of Law 15/1997 on new forms of health center management, the door was opened in Spain to the construction of new private hospitals paid for with public funds and to the privatization of health care management.That is to say, if you aren’t from Spain and you have an accident, you will be treated immediately if your life depends on it. And because the health care is public, operations are not as expensive as in countries with private health care. If it’s a non-urgent operation, there’s a list in order of when you requested it. In Spain there are also private health care centers if you don’t want to wait.In my opinion, having the option of public healthcare helps those who don’t have a lot of money to have the right to healthcare, something that is essential. You must know that ongoing reforms are being carried out to improve Spanish healthcare. These reforms are aimed at improving their efficiency.From this point on, I contradict the words of @lightdancer1 :First of all, the term “first world” refers to those countries that have achieved a very high Human Development Index (HDI) and Inequality-adjusted HDI (IHDI), these countries enjoy the highest possible standards of living, thanks to good health, life expectancy and quality of services.HDI of Spain is 0,904 points out of 1 and the life expentancy is 83,58 years. So, nobody should say that Spain is a backward country or things like that.Secondly, Franco’s dictatorship ended MORE 50 YEARS AGO. Nowadays, the current government of Spain is leftist, i.e., just the opposite of fascism. Spain is a monarchical, democratic country, in which the king has no power, he only represents the country on trips abroad when the president cannot go.So, WE ARE NOT RULED BY KINGS. We are a monarchic country but the crown doesn’t have any power. Just because my country has a monarchy doesn’t mean it’s like the monarchies of 10 centuries ago.Spain was very influenced by medieval times, that’s reflected in the old buildings, but that doesn’t mean that we’re proud of everything that our country did in that era. If you don’t believe it, study some Spanish history.Last of all, something I don’t like is that Spain is only associated with Sevillanas, paella and bullfighting. You are totally wrong. It’s something that is part of our culture, but not in all regions. In fact, in my region they don’t dance sevillanas and there are hardly any bullfights anymore. About bullfighting, there is a lot of controversy: many Spaniards are in favour and many others are against. I would appreciate it if you would stop adding bullfighting to any post that talks about Spain, if you don’t mind. -- source link
