2019年高一英语：Our Body and Healthy Habits思维导图

Class, tell me. When you are ill in hospital for a few day，who will pay for it? Your parents? It’s very bad. The health insurance company? Good, it’s much better.

Today we are going to learn about the health care system in three different countries. Now listen to the tape and try to answer the question:

What are the three countries?

---Britain, America, and Canada.

Which health care system do you think is the best? Give two or three sentences to explain why.

--I think Canada has a better system, because health care is free. When you become ill, medical fees are paid for by the government.

What’s the problem with the American system?

The problem is that poorer people don’t have the money to pay for private health insurance. As a result, they often have both health and money problems.

Why have there been problems with the British health care system recently?

This is because the government has not put enough money into the health service.

What’s the result of the problems with the British health care system?

More people are using private health insurance. They see doctors and the health insurance pay the doctors.
