- MedicareГоворить просто «Medicare» как есть, это устоявшееся название собственной системы, аналогов которой нет в русскоязычных странах.
- Mental health care planСказать «план по охране психического здоровья» или «план психологической помощи от врача», при необходимости пояснить, что это оформляется через GP.
- LifelineСказать «служба Lifeline» или «горячая линия психологической поддержки Lifeline», сохранив название.
- Emergency departmentСказать «отделение неотложной помощи» или «приёмный покой скорой помощи».
