Bangladeshi politicians and healthcare

Md. Haider, Michigan, USA
I feel politicians of Bangladesh should not go abroad for treatment, since as public figures they are supposed to get service of the public health system. If this happens the health system may improve. They should remember how the people are suffering and how they are getting the treatment. In 2004, my brother was admitted in NICVD hospital, in one night I saw nearly 5 people dying, my brother survived the first night but passed away next day morning. He was a great freedom fighter and he never wanted any advantage from the government for being a freedom fighter. I felt sorry for myself and for my brother's family that includes three small children along with all the Bangladeshis, the victims of the bankrupt health system of Bangladesh. I cursed the politicians who are responsible for such condition of our healthcare system. Do we need these politicians who are not useful, who are nothing but looters? Should they be allowed anything more than healthcare facilities available in the country?
