Unlike Britain, the US does not have a national health care service. The
government does help pay for some medical care for people who are on low incomes
and for old people, but most people buy insurance (保险) to help pay for medical
care. The problem of those who cannot afford insurance is an important political
subject. In Britain, when people are ill, they usually go to
the family doctors first. However, people in America sometimes go straight to an
expert without seeing their family doctors first. Children are usually taken to
a doctor who is an expert in the treatment of children. In Britain, if a patient
needs to see a specialist doctor, their family doctor will usually recommend a
specialist. Doctors do not go to people's homes when they are
ill. People always make appointments to see the doctor in the doctor's office.
In a serious situation, people can call for an ambulance (救护车). In America,
hospitals must treat all seriously sick patients, even if they do not have
medical insurance. The government will then help pay for some of the cost of the
medical care for them.
