Private, paying patients get their appointments earlier?! Not in my Polaris 
if you want to be more evil implement insurance companies
Me who works medical irl and know how it does
Noussia! Messa Rightoussia
a follow-up event post prob
as a result of privatized healthcare
The poor would say otherwise
So the poor wait 6 month while the private, paying ppl get seen in 2 weeks?
That is a crime on humanity π FULLSTOP
If you manage to give everyone equal appointments then time reduces for everyone π
I could ramble on about that, but that might Go to far and too RL
just look at US healthcare system
i may not have lived there, but i heard it doesn't work
Huh? U.S.? Is that that one country from before the Frost?
You know that the US has a privatised one, right? Capitalistic paying stuff
Exactly what I am telling you not working
Europe is sliding towards that rn
ACTUALLY O-Care tried to away towards the EU system .... Just fyi
I'm pretty sure he was agreeing with you
Both private and state healthcare have their problems
Private is problematic with overpricing but overal provides a better quality service.
State ones are a big burden on taxes.
And there aint many places that manage to maintain a free healthcare program with a good quality service.
Privaticed DOES NOT offer better quality
On the contrary: i charge you for one surgery, either botching it or doing just the bare minimum, instead of what is needed. You need to come back for another, charging you again
Sure, state ones arent without problems. But a solidaric system, paid by all, for all bares less problems overall
i need to actually make a counter law
*draft
Don't π me !
It's what you asked for. Challenged me to do!
without state competition, yeah i agree. Pure private would be really bad.
Like we have free healthcare here, but overall (here) you would be stuck on a huge queue for most slightly more serious appointments / surgeries
regardless I think both this draft and any opposing ones already exist since this isnt something niche
but rather a 'major' thing
Havent seen any other drafts and since, to my understanding, HC is working on an emergency base mostly rn, it can't hurt to make the counter draft as well
meant as in "gm's already have something like that as a potential law"
Oh
and if privatisation laws dont exist, then we might be locked to city hospitals
but thats just a theory
Not even sure if privatization is going to even be a thing with since we have this mixed command economy.
-# herman codes my beloved
We've a command economy
-# Command* fixed
Just ask the Steward nicely for her to command less smh
Or command what we actually need π
Take command into our own hands! Do what is needed to save the city!

If this is advertised as "the people need to own the hospitals, not the Steward!" I can see a slight chance of it working
Worker coop hospitals π€
that's waht i meant
healthcare insurance in the United States
Healthcare having more funds benefits the poor as they have more resources to help with
We waiting 3 years for a apointment with this one!
As if. I know what I am saying: what the private people pay would level with the costs. There wouldn't be much more funds for the poor
State will just tax you more and more and then waste 2/3rd's of the money. Remove the middle man, remove the waste
for all HCS π
