I am in Australia. In Australia you can not normally go to hospital straight away if your kids caught a fever or flu but book a local clinic. It notmally takes 2 or 3 days to see the local doctor（it's called GP）.The out of pocket doctor fee is around $40 plus any medicine if you need. But if your kids have serious symptom you still can go to hospital emergency, but it take 8 to 12 hours before you can see a doctor.

Same here in the US

And all you Anglo-Saxon people still have the gut to criticize and insult we Chinese are Communist no freedom for the people, we are oppressed by our government, our government is evil, our President is corrupted. But look at this video how we are being taken care of by our government? 😂😂😂😂 What a joke?

太拖了。拖亖一堆。

In Canada under the universal healthcare system, the ER wait can be painstakingly long up to 36 hrs in some cases during Covid and patients have reportedly died waiting no joke. Wiser to call the ambulance if symptoms are severe and pay the 45$ out of pocket (most private insurers reimburse) to bypass the ER queue. The healthcare is a nightmare to navigate. God forbid if it is a serious illness.

I pay 600plus RMB a year in social health care insurance for my son, including outpatient and inpatient. I live in Guandong province.

[@TobyChina]

I think it’s a little cheaper in Sichuan, but just inpatient care is covered. I’m sure there are multiple options

[@ShaobingYang-nl9hi]

Many thks for the hardworking of doctors and workers

[@TobyChina]

Indeed!

[@AnnieT369]

Busy as daytime.

[@TobyChina]

Would be busier in the day time, but also would be more doctors on duty

[@RP-mm9ie]

WOW

[@serriajohn]

the kid insurrance is to combine with parents social medicare, therefore, the parents can pay medicine fee in total using their card in the case that kids do not need hospital care.

[@TobyChina]

I think that only works with the same hukou, so if parents have different hukous it can be harder. Most people I know use the school insurance scheme.

[@serriajohn]

@@TobyChina Hukou is a proof to show the family address with kid and parents living in this neightborhood community, With Hukou, the kid could be sent to nearby public schools for free education, that is why some residential apartments are more expensive, because the public school nearby is top quality or better quality than others.
Hukou normally requires the family to own /or rent an apartment in this community.
When the newly built apartments are sold, the buyer can get Hukou certificate, therefore to guarantee a seat for kid education in nearby public school for free. the better quality of a school nearby, the more expensive the apartment is .

Are there shortages in doctors and other health care professionals in most countries? In my location in Hawaii, we are seeing many doctors moving to the US mainland for various reasons.

[@TobyChina]

I think so! I believe there is a shortage in Britain.

[@TobyChina]

[@pbworld7858]

I keep on getting you and Iain Inglis confused!

[@TobyChina]

As in we look the same or you think my content is similar?😂

[@ronlaijl]

you are wrong,children has social insurance,student health plan is an extra insurance.

[@TobyChina]

Is it to do with Hukou? The children I know don’t have it

[@ryansong3956]

@@TobyChina No，It is called urban and rural residents medical insurance, which is different from employee medical insurance. Non employees need to purchase it every year.

[@1234bylife]

@@TobyChina I think you should pay private or child insurance by yourself to get medicine and hospital cover, better talk to the local school about it.

[@serriajohn]

@@TobyChina The annual fee for a children's medical insurance card is 350 yuan. Payment for the children's medical insurance card can be made through the Social Security Center, the official social security website and APP, WeChat, Alipay and other platforms. Foreign students or children need to provide their passports, and students or children from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan need to provide a Mainland Travel Permit or temporary ID card for residents of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
