Chilean health system:

Different than France, Chile has two different health systems: the public and private systems. The public health is financed by 7% from user’s money (which is obligatory for both systems), and by FONASA who is an organization who works controling the public health system. The private one is in charge of ISAPRES who are financed by the 7 % from user’s money and, depending on the plan that you want to be, you can pay more money to have a best and more complete health service.

AUGE is a plan who wants to control all the rights of the people related with health at the public and private system, like access, financing, opportunity and quality for all the Chilean people.

But in my opinion, Chilean haven´t got equals rights related with health because the system is not the same in private and public system.

For example in Sicko we could see that in France the health system is equal for all French people, because they have free health all the days of the years, all day and whatever times they need it. Also the system function perfectly, they haven´t to wait more than an hour, and in Chile even the health is not free for all the people you have to wait sometimes days, weeks and months to be assisted by a doctor.

I think that Chile needs a better system, maybe like in France or England but at the same time I think that as a country we haven´t got money to improve it now, so my opinion for the solution comes from the formation of the Health professionals, and how they get their payment from public health system, then the system is going to grow up with better professionals and with more resources and in fact a better attention for the people.
