Many people go abroad to see a doctor, and most of them choose to go to the United States to see a doctor, the United States medical treatment is really that good?

The U.S. medical technology is relatively good, now the most developed medical is the United States, both in terms of medical technology, or medical facilities are at the forefront of the world, the U.S. Many hospitals are universities or medical research institutions affiliated hospitals, and because of the medical practitioners enough doctors in addition to their jobs, there are also a lot of opportunities for contact with scientific research, teaching. In contrast, China's medical institutions and talent shortage, medical staff busy with business and have no time to pay attention to scientific research, basic medical research and clinical disconnect, so medical research can not progress.

Medical facilities

In the United States, non-profit hospitals operated by charitable or religious organizations dominate, followed by local government hospitals and private for-profit hospitals, which accounted for about 62%-20%-18% in 2003. The federal government itself operates a national health care system that is not open to the public, namely the Military Medical System run by the Department of Defense and the Veterans Health Administration, which provides health care to veterans. The Indian Health Service (IHS), which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services, provides health care only to Indian and Alaska Native people, and also contracts with private health care organizations to provide health care exclusively to them. Although non-profit hospitals for the general public are tax-exempt, they continue to charge high medical fees, especially for uninsured patients, and have been the subject of ethical controversy and lawsuits.

Hospitals provide emergency and outpatient services, but they are primarily for inpatients. Alternative specialty clinics include the "surgicenter," which provides same-day care after surgery without hospitalization, and the hospice, which provides end-of-life care for terminally ill patients with a life expectancy of less than six months.
