Almighty Coach

In the afternoon, Allen took Li Dai to his training ground as usual.

If it were not with Allen, Li Dai would not dare to go to the black neighborhood alone.

It's just that Allen's mood is a bit low today.

"Alan, what's wrong with you, are you sick? It looks like you're downcast." Li Dai asked.

"Lee, I'm leaving Los Angeles in a few days." Allen said

"Are you going back to Virginia?" Li Dai then asked, "Isn't it easy to go to college?"

Allen nodded: "My mother went to a famous school in California, but none of them wanted me, and they didn't even give me the chance to try it out."

"So what are you going to do?" Li Dai then asked.

"Go back to the east and try your luck in Massachusetts to see if there is a second-rate school. Willing to offer me a scholarship." Allen sighed, then said: "Don't talk about these annoying things, let's go, let's Go to the mall first, go shopping, and close the mall if you go late. "

"What are you going to buy? Has there been a discount recently?" Li Dai asked.

After coming to the United States for a few days, Li Dai also knows more or less some American culture. American consumption is actually very rational. For most Americans, they are more willing to go shopping when the mall is at a discount. If there are promotional activities in the mall, it will definitely attract many customers. For Christmas promotions such as "Black Friday", many Americans will take advantage of the cheap and buy things for months or even a year.

"No discount," Allen continued. "I'm going to buy a set of Barbie dolls."

"Barbie? Isn't that what girls like?" Li Dai didn't expect Allen to be okay.

"Don't think about it, I bought it for my sister. I promised her to bring him a gift." Allen said.

"You still have a younger sister, never heard you talk about it." Li Dai asked in surprise.

Allen nodded, took out his phone, and found a photo. On the picture, Alan stood on the left side of a 15- to six-year-old girl, and she held a three- or four-year-old girl in her arms.

"This my sister Brandi, she just went to high school; this is my little sister Lisa, he is only four years old this year. Barbie bought it for Lisa." Alan explained.

"Your sister is very cute." Li Dai praised symbolically.

"She is also pitiful, she has congenital heart disease." Alan's eyes revealed a gloom of depression.

Li Dai pondered it again before he understood the word "congenital heart disease".

So Li Dai asked: "This disease is difficult to treat?"

"Yeah, the doctor said that Lisa could only live in her teens without surgery." Allen clenched her fists in pain.

Alan sighed for a while, and then said: "My mother was only fifteen when she was pregnant with me. Soon after she gave birth to me, my biological father left us. Later my mother met my adoptive father again, and there are still left My two younger sisters. "

Li Dai nodded. This situation is very common in the United States, especially among black people.

"My adoptive father is a good person. He would like to afford this family. However, because he has a history of drug trafficking and often goes to prison, he has never found a stable job, and my mother is only doing odd jobs everywhere. The environment of the place where we live is so bad that we ca n’t afford electricity, so we often have power outages; we ca n’t afford food and we are often hungry; we ca n’t afford water bills, sometimes we do n’t even drink water; The landlord rushed out, sleeping on the streets. "

Li Dai nodded. He also read some reports about the slums. He could imagine how hard Allen's childhood was.

"My little sister Lisa has had a bad health since she was a child. Not long ago, she was diagnosed with congenital heart disease. Lisa has no insurance, we can't afford medical insurance, and there is no money for Lisa to have surgery!" Alan 'S voice is very low: "And Lisa's age is relatively young, only if the experts in the senior medical center come to the main knife, the chance of successful surgery will be relatively large, which will cost a lot of money."

In the United States, there is no medical insurance, which means that seeing a minor illness will also be a heavy burden. Many poor families in the United States cannot afford medical insurance.

Prescription medicines, examination fees, and surgery fees in the United States are prohibitively expensive. It costs more than one thousand dollars to make a blood routine and call an ambulance. It may cost more than one thousand dollars. The bill is coming; for a caesarean section, the bill of more than a hundred thousand dollars is normal. If there is no medical insurance, the average working class ca n’t afford it.

Moreover, Americans do not have the habit of saving. Whether they buy large or small items, they are used to using credit cards. They spend tomorrow ’s money today. If they suddenly suffer from illness at this time, they may go bankrupt.

In the United States, the only thing you have to do to go to a public hospital is to wait. Although the price of a public hospital is cheap, you need to wait for two or three months to make an appointment for the most common examination ~ www.readwn.com ~ Many people are waiting to wait, the disease will worsen, or they will be cured.

Even in the emergency department, it is normal to wait for no one to treat you one night. The doctor only treats those critically ill patients and is too lazy to treat you. Compared with domestic registration in the morning, when he can see a doctor, today's results will be checked tomorrow. Ordinary chronic diseases will go to the emergency department. This is completely impossible in public hospitals in the United States.

Moreover, the highly skilled doctors in the United States are all in private hospitals, and many medical centers with research nature gather medical masters. The level of doctors in private hospitals is higher than that in public hospitals, but the prices in private hospitals are also better. The advantage is that as long as you are willing to pay, you can see a doctor on the same day.

You can also be reimbursed for seeing a doctor in a private hospital in the United States. The key is to see what insurance you have. Both insurance companies and hospitals have signed an agreement. The kind of relatively expensive medical insurance can even enjoy VIP treatment in top private hospitals.

Just listen to Alan and then say: "I doubt Lisa has no medical insurance, so if she is going to have surgery, she will have to spend millions of surgical expenses. Under normal circumstances, we simply cannot make so much money, so the only way is I become a professional player, whether it's going to nfl or nba, as long as I can become a star, I have money to treat my sister! If I can't be a star, Lisa will die ... "

"I'm really stupid. If I didn't fight that time, maybe I could go to nfl and continue to play football. Those college coaches will not shut me out like they are now. I can find one A good university, offering me a scholarship ... I really did a stupid thing. "Alan shook his head, and then said:" So, I swear, I will never fight again! "Js3v3 (Poxing Stone Academy )
