Health Care Systems
Spain vs. America
Tyler Bruton
The health care systems in America and Spain have many similarities and differences. Spain has a free public health care that is free. America doesn’t have any free health care anywhere in the country. However there is a waiting list for the free health care in Spain. Like America it is also recommended in Spain to have your own private health care plans so you may receive medical attention quickly. Spain has larger hospitals in bigger towns and cities just like America. You must present an verification card like an insurance card or social security card in both Spain and America before receiving any treatment. The system of educating doctors is very different in Spain than in America. In Spain doctors receive their training as university undergraduates. If you receive public health care you will be assigned a doctor but if you have insurance you may pick you doctor. At Spanish pharmacies many drugs that would be prescription drugs in America do not require a prescription in Spain. Like America your doctor can give you a prescription to pick up needed drugs at the pharmacy. There are many 24 hour pharmacies in both Spain and America.
