Public health system in Brazil.

As I told on my last post, I’m going to try to explain a little bit about the health system in Brazil.
In Brazil most of people don’t have health insurance; however the public system is very good and effective. If someone needs special treatment like for cancer, AIDS, and other serious illness, the health system is able to comport this. Also the public system offers expensive medication, and birth control methods, for poor people, who don’t have money to buy it. Any time you can use the public system, and the best part you don’t have to pay for anything. If a sick person needs be at the hospital for a few days, this isn’t coast anything as well. However if the person prefers, they can have insurance, and choose the best place to be treated, and also choose nice rooms at the hospital, or their favorite doctors.
The insurance in Brazil, covers anything, and isn’t expensive as here. Also, if you are an employee, you can have it for cheaper then usually, and the same happens for dental insurance.
