Vietnam has great public healthcare, overall elderly VN population is more healthy than American: less obesity, fewer cardiac diseases, more healthy diet, more exercise, etc.
There a lot of things that American can learn from Vietnam
- refurb 5y agoUhh, have you experienced public healthcare in Vietnam? My extended family has. It's not great and most Vietnamese who can afford private care do so. Doctors get paid so little most run their own private hours afterwork to make ends meet.
- slt2021 5y agoyes, I lived in VN, rode a motorcycle, got in a little accident and got small surgical treatment at a local public hospital and was quite happy about the outcome and service. There are also private hospitals with european or Singapore level service for more money, and still far far cheaper than anything US healthcare.
- refurb 5y agoTry having a complex disease in Vietnam and you'll realize just how big the gap is. My extended family couldn't get a basic cancer drug anywhere in Vietnam. Had to ship it to them as it was dirt cheap and readily available in the US.
