Hey kiddo! Do you know what healthcare is? It's when you go to the doctor or the hospital if you're feeling sick or if you need help staying healthy. In the European Union (EU), they have a special system that helps people get healthcare.
Every country in the EU has their own healthcare system, but they all have to follow some similar rules. This means that if you're a EU citizen, you can go to another EU country and get healthcare if you need it. Isn't that cool?
The EU also helps make sure that everyone can access healthcare, no matter how much money they have. This is called universal healthcare. In some countries in the EU, this means that everyone gets healthcare for free. In other countries, people have to pay a little bit of money to see a doctor, but it's not too expensive.
The EU also supports research to find new ways to keep people healthy and to treat illnesses. This is really important, because it helps doctors and scientists understand how the human body works, and find new medicines to help people.
So there you go, kiddo! The EU is all about making sure that everyone can get the healthcare they need, and that we're always learning new ways to stay healthy.
