Perhaps this is working better at the moment than the American system in some regards (such as price), but I'm wary of any third party (especially the government) setting prices. Should the government tell Apple what they can charge for a phone, or what you can charge for your web service? A good system should set the price automatically. For those rolling their eyes, yes, clearly this market system for health care has not been invented yet. But that doesn't mean it's not possible.
- gepi79 9y agoEuropean governments can not and do not dictate the prices of products of companies like Apple or BMW. IMO there is a clear difference between health and survival and a new phone or a new car.
- kulu2002 9y agoThat's precisely where everyone is mistaking. Healthcare has turned into profit making business. Doctors, healthcare organisations, Multi speciality hospitals are more concerned with profits, top line, bottom line, share-holder values, etc. In India, there are still some old, reputed, brilliant Ayurveda/ Allopathy/ homeopathy doctors who are treating patients for nominal charges over decades of their practice just because of one principle - Treating patient means service to God.
