text: how does your medical system work in the u.s.? we do have health insurance benefits with varying coverages depending on the company plans.   if we have prescription coverage we don't have to pay for the prescriptions at all. insurance costs a small ransome and if you have it most cna't afford to pay there co-pay. most are underinsured! and sick people often can't see a doctor! or get the medicine they need! that is the good o usa!!! why bush has life on easy street ~~ most have no job, home , car and hope! but you know if they would find jesus christ~~ they would live!
