Economic Issue 2: Out Of Reach---Republic Health Care Budget

http://bulatlat.com/main/2011/08/11/where-do-the-sick-go/

         I got shocked by the economic concern of the masses about the public health care budget here in our country. It is given that more than half of our population belongs to the below average family or commonly known as poor people living in the squatters and slum areas specially in metro manila and some in the provinces. They cannot afford the service of the doctor, medicine and other fees that is in the billing form in the Public hospital that owned by our government, though they had already released a budget of 570 million for every Filipino , still it is not yet enough because it only means we can only avail almost 300 pesos per year in the public hospital! it's very disappointing and frustrating to hear that. well lucky are those who has a stable work and elite people because they won't be suffering these issues. but the most concern people are those salary wage earner and poor people, all they can do is to complain and complain and wait for some donations from different private sectors or the worst, they're going to die so helpless. I wish the government will put more focus on this issue, they should prioritize this next to the educational budget because our health budget is placed rank 7 in the priorities this year.
