Unlike Britain, the US does not have a national health care service. The government does help pay for some
medical care for people who are on low incomes and for old people, but most people buy insurance (保险) to help
pay for medical care. The problems of those who cannot afford insurance are an important political subject.

Doctors do not go to people's homes when they are ill. People always make appointments to see the doctor in
the doctor's office. In a serious situation, people call for an ambulance (救护车 ). In America, hospitals must treat
all seriously ill patients, even if they do not have medical insurance. The government will then help pay for some of the cost of the medical care.
