Article b

At the moment I’m healthier than any man in the street. I’m fit again, although I had chickenpox not long ago. I had a temperature of 102 and my face swollen. Apart from colds and flu, chickenpox is the only illness I've had.

When we were children my mother gave us basic food like fish, rice, fresh vegetables and fruit. Junk food like hamburgers and sweets are expensive and we couldn't afford them. The kitchen is the most important room in the house because food is medicine. We weren’t ill when we were children because we ate the right things.

Now I don’t eat until after three in the afternoon because I like to train on an empty stomach.

I began smoking when I was six, but when I was sixteen my chest began to burn whenever I ran fast, so I gave up. My favorite drink is water or pineapple juice.

I don’t feel as if I’m getting old yet – no grey hair and my teeth are all mine.

(from the Sunday Express Magazine)

Text Study

Read the text and say how the medical care systems of Ukraine and America differ.

The health problems facing Americans are different, than those in some other countries. Sedentary lifestyles and risky physical behavior (drug addiction, alcoholism and a high intake of fatty foods) are the two greatest causes of adult health problem. Drug addiction is unfortunately becoming a major problem that afflicts the teens and even pre-teens. Nearly all children receive immunization against diseases. Although the government provides some aid to the poor, the United States does not have a socialized health-care program. Because health care is expensive, most Americans rely on private health insurance to pay medical costs. Poorer people often do not have this insurance. Health facilities are extensive and modern, except in some rural areas, and the United States is a world leader in medical research and training. The infant mortality rate is 8 per 1,000; life expectancy ranges from 72 to 80 years.

Should you visit the USA, you need to bear in mind that if you require medical attention, you will be expected to immediately pay for services rendered and/or provide an insurance policy number. Even if you do not have a valid policy for the USA, you may still be expected to pay and you will be reimbursed only afterward by your insurance company. If you are travelling to the USA and you are on medication, please be sure to get a doctor in your place of origin to write out a prescription in English with some type of official stamp or seal on it. Medications, readily available in your country, may be restricted there. You should go to a drugstore, or pharmacy to shop for medications, although non-prescription drugs are available off-the-counter in most supermarkets.
