When Does Hospital Capacity Get Overwhelmed in USA? Germany?
- raxxorrax 7y agoIn Germany, with privatization of hospitals, they more or less work under 100% load in normal circumstances. And that would mean regular overtime for doctors and nurses. You probably can imagine how quickly this would deteriorate if more capacity would be needed. On the bright side, companies tend to extract far less money from the unhealthy. From outside it seems the US has reached a level of perversion regarding medical costs that I cannot even begin to understand. But I guess that the gig economy doesn't allow people to take off while ill, so that might help hospitals again. Congratulations, I guess.
