Healthcare or lack there of

Health care. Haha well health care and America is a what everyone thinks is a complete mess. That we deserve this and they don't deserve that but the fact is when you need to go to the doctor you can and you will be treated no matter the time of the year and will be cured. Here in Quiindy I realized today that arguments of who deserves what treatment really doesn't matter they just want some sort of treatment. I was told we were going to the doctor therefore the image of a office and waiting room popped in my head like it would for any other American. However, to my dismay it was not. We walked to the school which was occupied by at least half of Quiindy when I arrived i saw baby's in the arms of their parents and the older people trying to find a chair to wait out the day until their name were yelled. There were a group of about 7 doctors for the over 700 people. By the looks of the groggy eyes and swaying bodies I could tell it had been a long day for the people waiting. As each person walked out they held one of two things cough drops for their throat or Ib profen for their heads. There were no strep tests, no shots given or even a second glance. If you were terribly Ill you were still sent off with some cherry drops you were not different, you were just another face in this poor country that they didn't have the resources to help. It astounded me how these people lined up for this mediocre treatment. I do not know if it what by ignorance of them not knowing that a cough drop wouldn't cure all or the hope that it would. These doctors only come twice a year to hand out these candies and I imagine each time there is that line of hope waiting for them.
