Health Care Systems Around the World

Warning: this week’s chapter of The Priest has very adult language in it.FáilteWelcome to The Village Oak TreeI’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill.Thank you for joining me again this week.In keeping with my overall theme of economic factors that affect all of us in one fashion or another, as I told everyone last week, we’re going to talk about health care systems around the world today. Especially the systems in the U.S.As a U.S. military veteran, I’m also going to talk about the U.S. Veterans Administration’s free health care for veterans as well. It’s free but at a cost for the veterans, and I don’t mean out of pocket monetary expenses.So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit and let me tell you about some of my experiences with the VA through the years and I will try and offer some comparison between some of more common health care systems available to people around the world.
