Healthcare system: Decent health

 

Hello dear readers, I hope you are having a great week.

In this blog, I will tell you about the Chilean healthcare system and what I think about it.

The Chilean healthcare system is composed of two systems, one of private character called ISAPRE and the other is a public insurance called FONASA, both systems have coexisted since the times of the dictatorship, however as a result of the protests of October 2019 and other events have been in constant questioning, due to poor care, endless waiting lists, lack of medicines, among other problems.

But, what are all these deficiencies due to?

First, the self-management model of the establishments, the mechanisms in which Fonasa resources are transferred to private clinics and the impartiality with which budgets are made each year for the health systems. 

Second, the majority of the population in Chile is treated in the public system, because they do not have the resources to be treated in the private system, generating a collapse in all state institutions.

Thirdly, the lack of policies on the part of the governments after the dictatorship, which would break this gap between public and private health.

It is time that the authorities take action in this matter and change once and for all this unequal health system that we have in our country, I have faith that the new constitution will take an important role in this issue and that it will finally guarantee Chileans a decent health.

    Hi Seba, I agree that the authorities take the corresponding measures to be able to change this system, we all deserve to have a dignified health and a system that does not leave us years on waiting lists to be treated. We all deserve to live our lives as healthy as possible.

    Hello. Yes, I agree that the problems of inequality in public and private hospitals have been an issue for decades, especially in the area of the budget and the distribution of resources in all regions. It is difficult to talk about a long-term "solution", generally speaking.

    Hello Seba, I think the same as you about the relevance of the new constitution in improving the health system in Chile. In my opinion, the state in Chile has interfered very weakly since the return to democracy in 1990. The ISAPRE and FONASA system, in my opinion, is only the expression of a state constituted through inequality and injustice, unfortunately that is the chile that we inherited and that today we are trying to change, I hope so.

    hello! I agree with your opinion but I also believe that the little progress in the health system has to do with the systematic corruption that has occurred in high public charges. I invite you to review my blog, there I comment from my personal experience my opinion on the negative consequences of corruption.

Hello dear readers, I hope you are having a great week. In this blog, I will talk about a topic that I like very much, which is soccer. But from an unfortunate perspective that this has, as is the violence in stadiums. Soccer is a sport that was institutionalized in England with the formation of the first Football Association on the planet in 1863. However, there are antecedents about that its origin goes back to the II and III century B.C., where ancient Chinese military played it, but without the rules, with which it is known today. In our country, soccer arrived at the end of the XIX century, to the city of Valparaíso, brought by English immigrants who with impressive matches managed to enchant the locals. Shortly after this happened, a journalist and two English merchants formed the Football Association of Chile with its respective competition on June 19th, 1895. And in this way, the first clubs in the country emerged: Santiago Wanderers, Santiago National, Rangers and other te...

Politics: We should be thankful for having the right to vote.

Since our republic was established as an independent country, the way of electing authorities has been changing, it is true that at the beginning only men of the wealthiest sectors had the right to vote, but that was changing little by little until today, where everyone over 18 years of age, regardless of gender, have the right to vote. However, in these times when more people have this right, they do not take advantage of it and do not do it, affecting mainly our democracy. First of all, every vote is important, it is unbelievable, but many times just one is capable of making a big difference. Secondly, voting means power, there are many countries around the world that do not have the right to vote, because they are under dictatorships or absolute monarchies, so we should take advantage that we have the power to elect our authorities. Thirdly, if we do not vote, we may run the risk of not having good authorities or the ones that best represent our ideals. Finally the vote is relevant,...
