Health in Britain

This time in my blog, I will talk about the health about different class and regions of Britain.
Firstly, let us have a look a report, which date from the 2006 national population censes in Britain, the participant adults aged were all between 25 and 64. The result in the each of the seven social classes, in Wales and the northeast and northwest regions of England had high rates of poor health. There were large social classes inequalities in self rated health, and rated of poor health generally increasing from class 1(higher professional occupations) to class 7(routine occupations). And the women had higher rates of poor health compared to men in the same social class.
I got another form from BBC NEWS, on average, according to figures, the percentage of Gross Domestic Product spent on health in Europe is 8%, but in Britain is reckoned to be 6.8%. on the other hand, the counties which considered to be economic matches for the Britain, such as Germany, and France, spend 10.7% and 9.4% respectively. But there is little doubt that the Britain lags behind many other European countries in term of death rates from cancer and heart disease.
I just have been here 1 year, so I can’t comment health in Britain, because I had saw so much better in health services in Britain. I have some friends were from the diffferent countries and palce. we are in the disparate ethnicity, in here we have got the deference..Every thing in the health service are free although I just had saw the doctor only twice and never been to the hospital, but my friends told me, the doctors and the nurse are all every friendly, the environment in the hospital are better. Just form the date, I think relative to the local people who want to better health service and policy, for me, I think it’s enough, but have better than never, I still hope Britain government spend more material resources in the health public service.
