Setton Posted January 19, 2020 #26 Share Posted January 19, 2020 But oh, heavens, let's not risk closing tax loopholes. No, instead we'll cut taxes for the richest and corporations and blame the public sector who earn far less for more work! Idiots. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The U.K and Germany systems. Yeah, of course. The NHS is financed by tax money, the German system is financed by contributions by employees and employers. The systems themself are not that different I would say but I think money is the main problem of the NHS. Edited January 19, 2020 by toast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ethereal_scout Posted January 20, 2020 #30 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Think Germany is a combination of public funds and private medical insurance - think the split is approx. 50/50 but don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewinn Posted January 20, 2020 #31 Share Posted January 20, 2020 When has the NHS not been in crisis. a quick look through elections from 1955 onwards every opposition party has run on a ticket of saving the NHS in some form or another. As someone alluded to above they needed hospital treatment for a serious condition and was back home within a week. but apparently its in perpetual crisis. waiting list for hip operations or cataracts i guess you can only treat so many people at a time. like most things in life if its free generally a queue forms.

Essan Posted January 20, 2020 #32 Share Posted January 20, 2020 The irony is, if the NHS wasn't so efficient, people wouldn't be living so long and we wouldn't have a pensions crisis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two options here in Germany: statutory health insurance and private health insurance. Ratio in 2019: 73% (of the whole population) statutory and 9% private (18% others, like kids in families). None of the systems is public funded, except statutory health insurance for people with no or very low income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
