Medicine in your country

Hello everyone, 
People in Russian often criticize our level of medicine in free hospitals and private hospitals. And a lot of people think that medicine in other country better. What do you think about medicine in your counrty? Is it expensive or not? Is it good or can be better?

May I know why people in Russia criticize the level of medicine? I mean are those not effective or do they have any side effect?

In my country, it depends on what medicine you are buying! One can get some medicines free of cost at the government hospitals(medicine for fever, cold like small illness ). But the expensive medicines are not free of cost. So, one has to buy them in any drug store. Some people also think that the free medicines are not effective, maybe they are FREE:)

" And a lot of people think that medicine in other country better."

I guess we may approach the problem with Russian medical service from 2 points of view:

The former is if the patient can get financial support to see a doctor and arrange hospitalization as soon as they need.
The latter is the availability of medical service, which indicates if patients can get enough resources from the system as it is needed.

Do you know the generic medicine? I consider most of the drugs have been made under the general rules so a large number of commonly used medicines are cheap and effective no matter where you live in as long as your government can allow multinational medicine corporations enter your domestic market. However, the whole healthcare system concerning the insurance in patients' view is another story to judge whether a system is good or bad.

The U.S. is one of only two countries where it's legal to advertise brand-name medicine to consumers (the other is New Zealand), so you end up with a lot of people asking their doctors to put them on some serious medications they saw on billboards, in magazines, on television, or on the internet. Anti-psychotics, blood pressure drugs, blood thinners, etc. Like a lot of Americans, I have to buy my own health, vision, and dental insurance. My monthly payments for them are as much as payments for a decent new car, and mine are among the cheapest. Some people pay as much per month as they do for their apartments. If you don't have medical insurance, even a short ambulance ride or very basic set of blood tests can bankrupt a person. I got a standard range of blood tests last year, and the bill was $6,300 USD. If insurance hadn't taken care of that, I'd have been screwed.
