China is a country with medical insurance and social security as a whole! That is to say, in China, the government co-ordinates the medical insurance fund to reimburse people for medical expenses, and the government co-ordinates the social security fund to give people pensions. When necessary, the government should supplement the medical insurance fund and social security fund with fiscal revenue.
Without this in the United States, the government is irresponsible for medical insurance and old-age social security. Americans don't have free medical care at all, only some European countries have it. Americans need to buy their own medical insurance to see a doctor. American medical care is extremely expensive. If there is no medical insurance, hospitals are not allowed to enter because they look down on it at their own expense. Many poor Americans simply can't afford medical insurance and can't go to the hospital. If they get sick, they either go to the drugstore to buy medicine for themselves or use anesthetics or painkillers to control their illness. Therefore, the abuse of analgesics and anesthetics has become a social problem in the United States. There are still more than 40 million poor people in the United States without medical insurance, accounting for a high proportion of the more than 300 million people in the United States. Former US President Barack Obama's medical reform wants to solve the medical insurance problem of these people, but it has met with fierce opposition from the Senate and House of Representatives controlled by the party. Now Trump even threatens to abolish Obama's health care measures. Thus, it is ridiculous to say that the Senate and the House of Representatives represent all the American people, and more represent the interests of insurance companies, big consortia, pharmaceutical giants and so on.
Americans are old, and there is no government agency to issue the last pension. In the past, all kinds of insurance bought in insurance companies were used to extract various expenses. Americans basically don't save money, and half of their income is used to pay bills and various expenses of insurance companies. Americans' income is mainly in the stock market. In the American stock market, Americans buy at least half of all kinds of funds, medical insurance, pension insurance and other products. So the American stock market carries all the wealth of most Americans. If the stock market falls too much, it will be fatal to Americans, which is not a concept with China stock market. If the stock market continues to fall, the current US government is at risk of stepping down.
Like China, there are not many countries in the world where the government raises funds to guarantee medical insurance and old-age care, only a few European countries, Australia, New Zealand and Japan have them. Most countries and regions in Asia, such as South Korea, Indian, China and Hongkong, have no pension at all and have to work to earn money when they are very old. I have no medical insurance, so I have to earn money to buy insurance.
So as a China native, I am very lucky!
