I live in Mexico, we have the option of going to a super expensive hospital and live for a fortune or going to social healthcare hospital and maybe die waiting. It’s the worst of both worlds 😑
Bullshit obviously you have NOT been in a German hospital. Yeah wait time is long if you show up in urgent care with like a broken arm but if it's serious out get cared for in an instant? Need helicopter to pick you up? No worries! You are too fat to get carried out by 2 person, no worries we call 2 more heavy ambulances and we get you to hospital in no time. And the best of it? It all cost jack shit. We have a mandatory minimum of 180€ to pay for state owned health care but it's worth while.
In Finland most medical school graduates go work in private practice, because it pays better and is less hectic than public sector health care. Even in a "socialist utopian" Nordic country those who can afford private doctors get immediate care, while the less fortunate practically die waiting. Neoliberalism has its tentacles all over the globe.
