Blog 2 - Healthcare system


Hello everyone, sorry for the delay.

When I have to write about the Chilean health system, I can only speak out of anger. 

The mixed system that exists in Chile -fonasa and isapre- determines the chances you have of surviving an illness or accident, and this possibility will be defined by your money. Those who have money can afford treatment and care in a private clinic, accessing quality service in a timely manner; who does not, gets a lifetime debt or a death sentence. 

Mental and physical health is not a guaranteed right today in Chile. Public health since before the pandemic was precarious and saturated due to the great demand it has. People die in waiting rooms or in long lines since the early hours of the morning.


I want to believe that this will change in the not so distant future. It is necessary for health to stop depending on our wallet. Access to health must be guaranteed by the State as a universal right. Will it be possible to achieve this in this new constitution?

Finally, I would advise you not to sacrifice your mental health in order to get your university studies. It is very important that you listen to your body when it shows signs of not being well. Do not neglect the hours of sleep, or the diet. Not subjecting yourself to excessive loads of stress that are likel...

Hello everybody! Today I'm going to talk to you about an album that I really like. I really don't know about music, I'm not an expert on the subject. But I can tell you that Shakira's album "Dónde están los ladrones" will never go out of style, and you will never stop singing it. No matter the place or the occasion, if one of its songs sounds, you will undoubtedly sing it. And it doesn't matter if you like Shakira or not, one way or another you know her songs. They are one of those songs that entered your mind without your permission.  This album especially is hit after hit. I listen to it in the shower, when I am traveling, to clean and when I am very drunk with my friends. It is always a great experience. Its songs can take you from moving your hips to the rhythm of "Ojos así" to singing at the top of your lungs "Si te vas", and "Moscas en la casa" makes you suffer for a love that can be invented haha. In addition, it has so...
