Healthcare system in Chile

What do you think of the health service in our country? In Chile, the health service it's composed of a mixed system, the public service called FONASA, and a private one called ISAPRE. Chilean health has the technology, the resources and the professionals to be good, however, the problem is not there, but in the great gap that exists between public and private health.

When people don’t vote, governments are less representative, so we get stuck and don’t achieve the changes that we believe are necessary to improve. Each election process is an opportunity that we have to change our society, just by marking a paper with a line; that’s why I always urge my friends and family to vote informed. Voting is a right that we must always protect and claim.
