I am catching up with posting online my articles.
This is the continuation of the previous article:
OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IS SICK - PART 1
I am sure that there are many more of similar examples showing complete ridiculousness our health care systems.
And so what is the point of even bothering to make the ranking of who has the best system if in the end it is fucked up anyway ?
You may leave in the country with the best health care system ( at the moment France is at the top of the ranking list ) but even then there will be people who get sick and even die unnecessarily as a result of basic faults within the system.
Now... this photo with the appointment with the specialist doctor for 2018 at 9.15 a.m. has caught a lot of attention of people who have expressed uttered disgust in their comments on Facebook.
But here comes another important question:
Is there anything else that we could apart from complaining and expressing our anger ?
Is there any practical solution to this serious problem ?
Well... one of the very first answers/ideas that come to our mind is to convince our government to increase the budget on the health care system.
OK... it makes sense but at the same time don't you think that this is a little bit like treating the symptoms instead of looking for the cause of the problem ?
I have already mentioned in my previous article that if you have private health insurance then you will be attended by the doctor/specialist. And that simply means that if you have social/public insurance then you have wait till the doctors attend first the rich ones who can afford to pay private insurance. So this simply shows us that the problem is more in how we allocate and distribute the resources instead of having lack of resources. If there was no private insurance or if everybody had private insurance then the waiting period for the specialist would be probably of maximum few weeks for everybody.
So as you can see this is not just about "forcing" the government to spend more money on the health care system. The problem is much more profound and it lies in the fundaments/principles on which we have created and constructed it.
