Medicare vs. Spanish Health System

My name is Patricia. When I started the podcast, I made it clear I wanted to share ideas, to spark curiosity. Follow me to discover new things.

Medicare is a social security coverage program administered by the United States government, which provides medical care to all people 65 and older, or younger, who are considered disabled due to serious health problems such as cancer or kidney failure requiring dialysis.

But coverage doesn't mean free, because this is health insurance, and they have to pay the insurance premium plus the pharmaceutical co-pay.

Free? It's not.

But if you look up medications for these seniors in Spain, you'll see that everyone is covered, even those, and especially women, who were unable to work at the time.

And if you can pick up your medications, you're lucky to live in Spain, because if this were the United States, well, it would be a land of plenty.


I know, when we complain about how bad the service is in Spain, always remember Medicare, because the truth is, when it comes to bad things, we have nothing to complain about.


And with this I conclude today episode, see you in the next one!

If you have any comments or suggestions for future episodes, you can write me a comment.
