We need doctor to heal our disease. We need them when we get injury. So, the government built a lot of hospital or it called public health care system. Having a responsibility, they make an effort to make a good and professional public health care system. In Indonesia, the health care system is not really good. If we get injured, we want the doctor to recover us. And put in a big hope that he or she will make us healthy. But, in reality, because of their careless, they can’t do that. I think, it can happen because there aren’t enough professional doctors and the utilities in Indonesia for the treatment aren’t good enough. Beside that, sometimes we get the problem about its medication payment.The poor poeple usually complain about the cost of its medicine very expensive. The poor people can’t just go to the hospital in the city because it will make more expensive. Because of their financial, some of them just stay at home although they got a disease. So that, it make them suffered and put them in serious condition. Our government can’t let it happen all of the time. They must protect their citizen.
I read an article about health care system in South Korea. Its system is very good. It’s cheap and efficient. If you go to the specialist, you will describe your disease, then the doctor give you prescribe that just take 15 minutes and the cost is less than $3.50! it’s very cheap, right? Actually, the health care system in South Korea is run by the government. The poor people, refugees will have medical insurance without pay the premium. It called medical protection. For the other people whose economics is good, they also get the medical insurance but they must pay for the premium. Using this system, the citizen will pay 30% of the treatment cost and the government will pick up the rest. They also ask their citizen to get a health check once a year. Our government should imitate this. Between poor people and rich people can check up to the hospital with the cheap cost. They will always healthy because they get check up annually.
But, the health care system in South Korea also has a bad side. Because of the government that handles the financial, so the doctor has their salary just from them. It’s low salary for the doctor. So, they do the other way to get more. They prescribe the medicine and want to receive some kickbacks from its pharmaceutical companies. It means, the doctor who prescribes the medicine from pharmaceutical companies will get some fees. They will write more medicine although it’s not really needed to get the profit. It can make an unfair business practical.
From my opinion, if our government tries the good health care system of South Korea, all of Indonesian people will not feel afraid of the payment. They will go to the hospital whatever the illness is serious or not. I think, it will make them more peaceful.
