Post 8: ~Health must be a guaranteed right~

Hello everyone!

These days, through different strikes and interventions, deep changes are sought in our country after years of injustices, abuses, violence, inequality, etc. With all the violence exerted by the military, cops, and in general, the government, the false democracy, in which we have been living all these years after the dictatorship, comes to light.
Chile needs many changes, one of them is related to health. Nowadays, health coverage is segregated according to the capacity to pay or the risk of people getting sick. If you do not have money to pay for a private consultation, you have to wait for months and months to be treated at a public hospital, and then months and months to get yourself tested, to have your exams checked, and so on. If a person has a serious undetected disease, how is he or she expected to receive timely treatment with all the above? Some people have money to pay for private consultations. Unfortunately, there are people who do not have money to get a medical checkup, and finally, some others who do not have money and cannot find any other way to get medical treatment but getting into debt to do so, is this fair?
In Chile, health is not prioritized (nor does it prioritize education, among many other things), the budget spent on health is very low, infrastructure is forgotten as well as resources, and so on; and not to mention mental health. For example, a psychological treatment at private establishments may take place once a week, and at public ones, there is so much demand that many times a constant rhythm in therapy cannot be followed.
With all this, we see how the most hardworking people, the citizens who put a lot of effort into their jobs, are also the individuals who do not have time or resources to go to the doctor. When they get sick and go to the emergency room of a public hospital, they are misdiagnosed because of the enormous demand that exists in these places full of stress and chaos, which finally means that there is little space or time to think about their mental health because patients see how nobody gives priority to their needs.
This is not fair, it is not dignified, it is corrupt and inhuman.
The right to health must be guaranteed in the constitution.
Until dignity becomes a custom!
