Comment on Brexit

Sure, turns out that when you have a government monopoly on healthcare, you can pretty much just dictate the prices for every prescription or procedure.

Whether that results in better service however is an entirely different question – after all, why should doctors or nurses work extra hard if they’re going to be paid the same either way?

I don’t know how it works in the UK, but in Sweden there’s a pretty steep progression for doctors and nurses where performance translates to better titles, schedules and significantly better pay. A specialist nurse is quite well compensated.

Oh, you think all that money goes to doctors and nurses now?

  Oh no, I’m pretty sure a good chunk of it also goes to various useless bureaucrats.

    More and more hospitals are being sold to private equity.
