I'm not surprised that the U.S. has the highest rate in H1N1 swine flu

I'm not surprised that the U.S. have the highest rate in swine flu. American public medical service is very bad. They don't care about people unless this is not private clinics.

Me and my friend at the same time cougth cold in NYC, 2 weeks ago. My friend had high temperature, and in the night we decided to go to the hosptial. Usually we just got some terraflu, but today in the U.S you must be concerned about swine flu.

Yes, in other country you might decide to call emergency, no away - it's too expencive (once my friend called 911, because his wife was injured, she didn't have an insurance, thus they were charged for $ 3,000 for nothing - the doctor examined her and prescribed some pills). Bu the way in my country emergency is always free of charge~!!!! What to do? We went in the new York night, cought taxi and went to the hospital. First we completed all applications (of course they want to be sure that they will be paid for their work), then we (sorry for that) went to pee for analysis and waited for 4 hours in line.

That was already sunrise when we decided to go back, we didn't have any strength to wait anymore. We obtained the nurse's promise that in case if the analyses will be critical we will be notified. Well, 2 weeks had gone and today I received a bill from the hospital.

OMG! They charged money for URINA PREGNANCY TEST! All this time I had been sure that the test examined the flu. I knew that I'm not pregnant, and today I need to pay for that. For what? What if that was a real swine flu? We could die - alone, in the night in Manhattan, even having a full insurance.

This is stupid thing about U.S. medical system. Many people, even with American citiznehsip, can't afford medical insirance for themsleves that made them totally unprotected from any disease, including swine flu.

I told you, I'm not surprised but I started being very suspicious to each person, who sneezes or coughs. God! Save me!
