    I mean, can’t even compare, it’s nowhere near yet, but we are definitely fast-tracking to the USA system.

    Step 1: The public sector is underfunded for decade+ bcs various austerity measures and low profit taxes & increasing loopholes. This bleeds not only tech purchasing but workforce too (to either private health sector or completely unrelated sectors with low wages).
    Step 2: Insurance businesses are massively stepping up their offers & are directly buying healthcare providers (with market consolation happening there anyway) to ensure claim cost control.
    Step 3: Make it necessary for everyone to depend on private sector healthcare & have private insurance.

    Luckily the water wars, mass migrations, and other more-or-less-world wars will get us sooner.
