I have seen the events when the same was done in Puerto Rico, destroying the public hospital system while incrementing the load on the private hospitals. At first everything seem fine, until you realize that you still have the same amount of hospitals and that you have just increased the demand.
This is happening nowadays here in Germany. The gov is privatizing the hospitals (and not only them).
They say if we have competition between the hospitals the costs will decrease.
But it's not. The costs are increasing, because the hospitals have to make high margins for the owners/share holders. And you can only increase with doing more OPs.
Also they have to save in every way (wages etc.) and so the hygiene get's more worse, because the working slaves are unmotivated and under pressure of decreasing all costs. The chief physicians must act like buisnessmen and not like doctors and a big part of their income is based on bonuses. Some of them who still have a conscience are resigning their job.
I have five damaged spinal disks and I'm glad that have a good doctor and haven't to be operated.
I was six months ill at home and since three weeks I'm doing my rehabilitation in my company, but I can't continue my old profession.
So now I'm doing a desk job in my company.
In the last five years in Germany the OPs at the back/spinal disks have doubled! So guess why...
And, a study came out that points that 85% of all OPs at the back here are unnecessary!
This is only one example for PPP of many in Germany.
Germany is selling the whole silverware which is owned by the Gov respectively by the people.
Only rich men can afford a poor state.
I hope "Mommy" in Berlin will go to hell as soon as possible.
Angie is very dangerous for the democracy, not only in Germany.
But most of the german politicians are it, too. Criminal Gangsters they are even like the Banksters.
For the matter of taxes, if they are used well for the general public, they are not a bad thing.
The scandinavian countries have very high taxes, but they also have a high level of living because of this.
But back to topic: Congratulations to the american people !
