Doctors in U.K. Going on strike because socialized medicine is so great.

[2aguy]

This is how great socialized medicine is………doctors go on strike because their socialized medical system doesn’t pay enough……..

One of the world’s most celebrated socialized medical systems is doing what socialized medical systems do: limiting patient care. Pending work stoppages could mean that the worst is yet to come for patients of England’s National Health Service.

Doctors, who are low-level government employees in the U.K., are going on strike.

Josephine Franks reports for Sky News that senior doctors, called consultants in Britain, will be joining their less experienced colleagues in withholding treatment:

Consultants and junior doctors are set to strike for several more days this week and early next month, bringing more chaos to the NHS after several months of walkouts and delayed appointments…
A health chief said the NHS is in “uncharted territory” due to the strikes, with thousands of patient appointments expected to be cancelled.
Saffron Cordery, deputy chief executive of NHS Providers, said this week’s strike action “can’t become the status quo”.

Sadly it can.

The problems are inherent in government medicine. And, of course, doctors in the U.S. are increasingly public servants, too.

Turning doctors into unionized government bureaucrats brings a host of problems, including the fact that politicians, not patients, decide what doctors are paid. This is of course a problem in the U.S. as well. England is a sort of preview of just how badly government management can mangle the incentives to provide medical services—and the duty to provide care.

Luiza…..how is this fake news?

Disagree , OP . They are threatening strike action because pay over several years has fallen hugely behind inflation increases ——— About 35 per cent from memory . A reasonable start point for dissatisfaction . The NHS may be following a doomed model but that is a separate discussion , though I happen to believe that free medicine for most of the population is unworkable for a variety of reasons . Simple numbers and mathematics for starters . But imho

I'm just waiting for all the enraged women to men trans injected with all that testosterone to go postal.

Happens every time.

Every time you put the government in charge of anything, the same thing happens. "We need more resources" they cry. I'm blaming a government that's far too big for all their self induced failures. Government should butt the fuck out and let people live freely.

Not many governments have figured out ways of paying their "professional" employees fairly, without the extortive influence of public sector unions. It's not easy.

In the US only the VA is socialized medicine. We have single payer private delivery.

/----/ The VA was so bad, patients were committing suicide in the parking lot. Fortunately, Trump fixed it by granting vouchers for private care. Unfortunately, problems still exist. But what the heck? Let's force VA-style healthcare on everyone.

And the VA is horrible.

Better than no healthcare.

The government.....

We can't manage the VA which only serves a tiny number of Americans, so we are now going to use the VA model to cover all Americans......and not be able to manage that even more....

Hi Sue. I am very supportive of the doctors. The whole country is.
Their wages started going down in 2010 when the conservative govt took over and decided we needed a smaller state.
Its another failure of conservatism and the main reason they will lose the next election.
Bring it on.
Its not just the doctors on strike. Teachers have also been on struke, so have civil servants. train drivers. lecturers and in fact everyone who can strike. People have had enough conservatism to last a lifetime.

Empty rant based on your lower working class upbringing and no basic understanding of political thinking and economics .
It is thanks to the low IQ end of the political left that we still have retards who think the NHS philosophy of over 80 years ago is still relevant and affordable .
Thank goodness your voice is just of one homeless vagabond squatting in a football club car park .
