rwanda has better health care than america

ben franklin famously said at the end of the constitutional convention in 1787 that quotif we don039t hang together we shall surely hang separatelyquot that lesson of quotwe039re all in it togetherquot wasn039t lost on rwanda rwanda - a small nation in central africa - is one of the poorest and most underdeveloped nations in the world nearly 60 percent of rwandans live below the national poverty line - and in rwanda with an average income of just 560 per year per family - less than 2 a day - being in poverty meant bringing home and living on as little as ten cents a day from 1990 to 1994 - the nation had a civil war - and in april of 1994 - the rwandan genocide began - lasting for 3 months - and taking the lives of nearly 1 million rwandans and yet - despite going through a civil war and a genocide - and being one of the poorest countries in the world - the tiny nation of rwanda has something the united states doesn039t - a healthcare system that works for alltoday - the new talking point coming from the right against obamacare is that it raises taxes yet that039s exactly how rwanda went about creating a healthcare system that works for everybody today - only 4 of the rwandan population is uninsured - compared to more than 16 in the united states so how039d rwanda do it in 1999 - most rwandans never had seen a doctor and even when they were really sick couldn039t get into a hospital - primarily because costs were so high that average citizens simply couldn039t afford it knowing they had to take action - the government039s ministry of health started a pilot project of providing health insurance in three of the country039s districts with success in these districts - the program began to spread across the country in 2004 it ran into some kinks though the main one was that the government set insurance premiums at 2 dollars per year - and that was too much for for most rwandans to affordso - then - the program shifted to a progressive tax system for wealthy rwandans - insurance premiums increased to 8 dollars a year - while premiums for the poor decreased - to zero this is similar to what039s in obamacare - with poor and low-income americans getting free medicaid or tax subsidies to purchase health insurance at no expense today - the results of rwanda039s universal health care system are remarkable now - there is a massive network of community health workers across the country - in both cities and villages 80 percent of aids patients in rwanda are getting the treatments they need - which is really critical in a nation with one of the highest aids infection rates in all of africa just ten years ago - before the insurance program was put in place - life expectancy was a meager 48 years at birth now - its 58 and - in the last 5 years - deaths of children under 5 have dropped by half - and malaria - a once debilitating and highly deadly disease in rwanda - is now diagnosed quicker which means life-saving treatment is provided faster
