If people are dying at the rates they are dying in Brazil, the healthcare system isn’t good. SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde) is one of the biggest and better structured universal health care systems in the world. We basically pay nothing for medicines and treatments that in the US and many other countries, only very rich people could afford. Not perfect, yet better than health care systems on most of the countries, including the US. I would suggest you to read about it, maybe you change your mind a little bit. The problem is: the current brazilian government is not taking good use of this universal health care system to prevent and control the pandemic and its killing people and worsening the overall situation.

I'm sorry, but your healthcare being free is beside the point. I also live in a country where all healthcare is free, but it doesn't mean that there isn't stigma around mental health and that the healthcare professionals (who are paid 10 times less than in the US) are actually good.

What we should focus on the discussion is that the biggest problem is the current administration and not the system itself. Even with less earnings, the healthcare professionals are not bad. I don’t know where did you take this info, but its not the reality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The theory on healthcare system is really good and well structured and not just currently but since ever politicians never cared about people. We could have one of the biggest economies in the world, we are such a rich country in natural resources, we pay LOTS is taxes even for just 1 piece of SourCandy.mp3 that we buy - And I know how high is taxes payments in US, but I think indirectly we pay even more in Brazil. Basically in our country we work a lot for a little money because we put lots of it on the politicians hands waiting to receive better assistance in healthcare and education, but instead they prefer getting the money for themselves and people just keep on suffering.

I was talking about this "where primary care doctors can even harm someone with a mental illness because of how little they know about mental health and the stigma surrounding it" https://www.last.fm/pt/user/erotic4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s stigma surrounding mental health in every country, and it’s obviously worse for less developed countries like Russia or Brazil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on that, do you mean that every field in health is worse in Brazil or other similar countries because we are less developed? It is so typical of the American to think that he is at the height of development. I am not surprised by the comments calling you xenophobic. https://www.last.fm/pt/user/erotic4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
