Topic
discussed: Healthcare system and working hours
Cultural
and/or linguistic topics you and your partner learned: We
talked about the health insurance system in America which is quite different
than Turkey. There is no universal healthcare in US unlike Turkey, Canada or
France. The hospitals and healthcare are private. Therefore, you must have
insurance. Health insurance provides different levels of financial protection
and the scope of coverage can vary widely. It means, you still have to pay some
copay even you have insurance.
When it comes to working hours, people generally work 40
hours per week for a fulltime job which is same as Turkey. But in US, if you
need to work overtime, the employee would pay for these extra hours which is
generally not valid for Turkey, except workers.
