U.S.military
veterans through a
nationwide network
of government
hospitals; while
active duty service
members,retired
service members
and their dependents
are eligible for
benefits
through TRICARE. 
The four countries
of the
United Kingdom
have separate but
co-operating
public health
caresystems that
were created in
1948:
inEnglandthe
public health
system is known
as
the  NationalHealt

inScotlandit is
known as NHS
Scotland,
inWalesas NHS
Wales (GIG
Cymru
 

),and in Northern
Irelandit is
calledHealth and

Northern Ireland.
All four
providestate-paid
healthcare to all
UK residents, paid
for from general
taxation. Though
the public
systemsdominate,
private health care
and a wide variety
of alternative and
complementary
treatments
areavailable for
those who have
private health
insurance or are
willing to pay
directly
themselves.
 The main
difference
between the
four
public health
care systems is
the patientcost
for
prescriptions.
Wales, Northern
Ireland
and Scotland
have
recentlyabolishe
d, or are in the
process of
abolishing, all
prescription
charges,
whileEngland
(with the
exception
of birth control
pills, which are
paid for by
thestate)
continues to
charge patients
who are
between 16 and
60 years old
afixed
prescription fee
of £7.40 per
item, unless
they are exempt
because
of certain
medical
conditions
(including
cancer) or are
on low income.
In
Australia
the current system,
known as Medicare,
was instituted in
1984. It coexists
with a private
healthsystem. All
legal permanent
residents are entitled
to government-paid
public hospital care.
Medicare isfunded
partly by a 1.5%
income tax levy
(with exceptions for
low-income
earners), but mostly
out of
generalrevenue. An
additional levy of
1% is imposed on
high-income earners
without private
health insurance.
Aswell as Medicare,
there is a
separatePharmaceuti
cal Benefits
Schemeunder which
listing and a
governmentsubsidy
is dependent on
expert evaluation of
the comparative
cost-effectiveness of
new
pharmaceuticals.
Moldova
has a low standard
of state funded
healthcare.
Healthcare in the
country is available
to all citizensand
registered long-term
residents. The
Ministry of Health
oversees the
health service in the
country and
allcitizens are
entitled by law to
equal access to a
minimum amount of
free healthcare.
Whilst there are a
smallnumber of
private GP
practices, there are
no private clinics
or hospitals.
Medicines are in
short
supply;shortages
exist for antibiotics,
anesthetics,
analgesics, medicine
to treat tuberculosis
and drugs used
inoncology amongst
others.
.
Learning foreign
languages
Nowadays, I can
certain affirm that it
is a trend to study
foreign languages.
Also, in the same
time, it isa
necessity. The
process of the
globalization made
people to travel,
move to another
parts of the
world,contact with
different
persons. Whether
it’s for professional,
social or personal
reasons, learning at
least oneforeign
language is a must
for anyone that
wants to keep his
or her head up high
in today’s
society.Knowing a
foreign language (or
more) is definitely a
social bonus.
There’s definitely a
steep hill toclimb
between being
presented as
someone that
doesn’t know
any foreign
language whatsoever
against
being presented as a
polyglot. Another
case when knowing
a foreign language
can be literally a
social blessing
iswhen meeting a
foreigner whose
language you
can speak. They’ll
be extremely
impressed by
your ability totalk
with them through
their own native
tongue, although
you’re on home
grounds and this fact
can singlehandedly
create a great
impression around
you. If the foreigner
happens to be part of
a business meeting,
thisimpression can
turn to a successful
business partnership,
bringing you both
professional and
socialsatisfactions.In
addition, many
students today want
to study abroad, for
this it is compulsory
to know
a foreignlanguage.
