I really don't understand what this person is trying to say...Does he/she means they can't afford private health insurance or something to that effect? Thanks!!

A saúde pública nos postos de atendimentos,cada vez mais horrivel e não tem como nos tratarmos pois tudo deles é feito pelo particular.

Tough call

Explanation:
Maybe:
Health care in public clinics is getting worse and worse and we have nowhere else to go, whereas the rich all have (their) private hospitals and stuff.

It's not too closely glued to the original, but I think it conveys the feeling behind the words

Explanation:

Realmente, Mary, é uma linguagem muito coloquial e não exatamente correta, mas creio que a idéia é esta.

Lembro-me de uma empregada que tive no Rio, que falava assim, "quero ter um particular com você", ou "não tenho grana, tudo é no particular", etc. etc.
