Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoIn several countries the mainstream party politicians (who are Neoliberals) have been slowly privatising healthcare by forcing them to outsource part of the work to the Private Sector and using the same technique as Thatcher in the UK used to privatise railroads (of which now, decades later, you can see the horrible results) - defund the Public service and then when the quality falls claim that the a Public Service is always incompetent and the the Private is always competent so the Public Service needs to be privatised.
On top of that there is the actual genuine problem (rather than artificial meddling with the Public Healthcare System to send more money into the hands of politician’s mates) that populations are aging and older people require much more Healthcare Services in average.
