It is slowly decaying here, in a central european country with socialized healthcare. It isn't because of COVID or aging or anything like that, but rather because of a systemic 'privatization' where taxes collected via mandatory private insurance companies are used to fund an alternative privatized healthcare system that then offers higher pay to healthcare workers.
- vjulian 4y agoDoes it boil down to physicians and other care staff not being paid enough?
- nathias 4y agoit boils down on the competition always being able to pay more because of how it is financed (for the state its an expense, for private health its an investment)
- VWWHFSfQ 4y agoI think it's similar, but obviously not nearly as extreme, as doctors in Cuba being paid nothing and constantly trying to flee to the USA while there is a perception that Cuba has a good healthcare system. The practice and care itself may be good but if you can't take care of the workers then it will still fall apart. Cuban doctors are actually slaves though. European doctors just leave the public services.
