    Also if there is under investment then that can severely hamper the system - we have that problem in the UK - demand is going up as the population ages, but the politicians won’t make the hard choices of taxing the elderly to support expanding the Healthcare system.

    Politicians are drunk on the growing private ‘optional’ sector, letting unequal access creep in through the door they got their muddy feet in. This absolutely has to stop.

    We see it here, as some regions take their levy and starve the public system in the hopes of forcing people shell out for the only option in this ‘optional’ alternative.
