nostr:npub16qct6ge6zdr72yxrw2cc0rsqyp9j9qrjs9pkz3gkydc839jrtk5sj8al6e the way it works here, hospitals only handle the advanced stuff. the private practices are usually for GP visits only. they are funded via a health insurance scheme with a copay for the patients, while hospitals and other inpatient treatment is completely free.
but if you think about it, doesnt that reduce burden of the government?
say 100 patients are available.
if no private practice all 100 has to go to the government practice increasing its burden.
the 20 wealthy ones can go to a private one, pay extra, and get treated more comfortably?
tbh private practice here are quite advanced, with some even treating cancer with top notch technologies
nostr:npub16qct6ge6zdr72yxrw2cc0rsqyp9j9qrjs9pkz3gkydc839jrtk5sj8al6e here i would say they operate more like a supplement to hospitals and doctor's offices that are covered through government health insurance, and there's outrage in the news when politicians are caught using private healthcare services, because the official story is that public is just as good as private, lol
