      There is still something i don’t understand about your health care system, does an employee have to pay taxes AND part of their salary to keep themselves insured? If so this is in my eyes a huge red flag, since the health care system is private owned this means that the health care insurers can say the price is whatever they want and get away with it because the government has not input, and if the government will pay for your health insurance if you are not insured, doesn’t this mean that it is better to not be insured?

      ​@@09archange Since 2009, everyone (who does not receive other care) must have health insurance.
      87.3% are statutory insured. Statutory health insurer are all non-profit organizations
      10.3% are privately insured (selectable if self-employed or high income)
      2.4% government agencies (for police, soldiers, refugees ...)
      In the case of statutory health insurance: Employees and employers each pay around half to the health insurer. The employee chooses the health insurer. (There are still health insurer that only members of a company can choose from). If you become unemployed, you stay with your health insurance provider (unless you became unemployed before 2009, then the authority pays directly).
      The prices are determined by a committee made up of representatives from the health insurance companies and an equal number of representatives from the service providers (doctors, hospitals). If no agreement is reached, the state can intervene.
      There are still hundreds of exceptions and special rules

      There is no universal healthcare in the US and UVM Medical Center generates profit from insurance companies and medical bankruptcies.
      So why are there solicitations for donations at retail checkouts on behalf of UVM Medical Center? There is no transparency about where such millions of dollars in donations are going, nor to which administrations are getting paid extra bonuses. Think twice before donating to this hospital which also uses non profit status for tax shields, greed and more profits.

    The German system is more much more public than privatized. Here some numbers from the national statistics institute (destatis): It is true that the insurance comes with employment, but 87% of all employees are insured by public, obligatory insurances, so only 13% are private. Unemployment is no issue due to governmental coverage of insurance in that case (with equal medical supply), resulting in only 0,1% of the population being uninsured. Among the unemployed, it is 0,8%. In short: access is maintained high, while it is not directly tax-payer money that funds treatment, but rather non-profit public (but not governmental) insurances.

      Yes we have student loans, but the lowest US MD/DO salaries is already 2-3 times their salary. I would argue that the work hours and burden is worse for European physicians from what I've heard...In the UK for example there are a limited amount of specialty spots and you have to wait for someone to retire to be able to be a senior doctor.

      @arrekusu9709 Год назад +5

      No offense, but I think that it the real way to get someone to do something because they genuinely want to help and treat/care people. Too many individuals in the US get into medicine to then realize they do not like it, the money isn’t everything and they wished they could’ve gone about it a different way. I know too many physicians that wish they would have gone into a PA/NP path just like so many PA’s and NP’s wish they would have become physicians so they wouldn’t be limited in practice. When you follow the money you may not be happy.
      Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying money won’t make you happy. But I do think that the over saturation of Pat in the US for physicians does throw people off in what they may want to pursue that will make them happy. Instead, they pursue what will make them “rich.”

    • @arrekusu9709
      @arrekusu9709 Год назад +2

      Also to consider, I’m no physician in Europe but from what my friend in Germany told me, the government will pay for you to go to school to become a physician and all your required to do is work for their choice of hospital for a said amount of time. I mean if my education cost is covered, I have no loans and malpractice insurance is covered, or highly discounted compared to US malpractice insurance, I’d be pretty damn happy at $165,000 performing open heart surgery.
      The VA does the same thing. I will have med school covered, full scholarship, get an allowance a month for the duration of school, once completed and attended residency, have to work and obligated 6 years at the VA getting paid a fraction of what private sector physicians make but with zero school debt, VA covering malpractice insurance cost and I am clearing $135,000, I’m pretty set. But that’s also why everyone looks at the US to come to to practice medicine. People chasing the money only to come and find out that the money is great but it’s not just providing the medical care that pays you but the horrid hassle to rip that money from insurances hands.

    • @MrLegendra
      @MrLegendra Год назад +5

      @@arrekusu9709 Wishing to genuinely help/treat people and wanting to be compensated fairly for your hard work are not mutually exclusive. Sure, money isn’t everything but it is reasonable to expect to be paid according to your skills and sacrifices. There are few industries that have greater job security and salaries, the vast majority of students in med school enjoy helping people. Although, at the end of the day being a physician is just a job just like any other job - and therefore the market should dictate the salaries. Becoming a physician just has the added perk of being related to science and getting to help people with it. The higher salaries also attracts top minds and greatest talents, I rather be treated by a smart and competent physicians over someone who is doing this job because he likes helping people.
      The public service loan forgiveness program has been shown time and time again to be financially disadvantageous compared to the private sector including limiting yourself to movement and subjecting yourself to restrictions. What if you don’t like where you work? What if your partner gets an opportunity in another state?
      Once you start rotations, residency and become an attending you’ll realize how much work being a surgeon actually is and how unfair being paid $160k (not to mention crazy taxes) would be for your 10+ years of intense grind. I have friends in finance and tech that make that 2-3 years out of school, it just wouldn’t be fair for a surgeon to be paid the same.

    I don’t think you are right with the Bismarck Model!
    Private insurance companies are in the minority here in Germany. They invest the money of their customers and with the surplus and the insurance fees they pay the doctors.
    This is possible because when you are young you are healthy (so they have a cash surplus).
    They are also not representing the Bismarck model.
    The Bismarck Model:
    - the insurance companies are controlled by their members
    - in-out-of-cash: The money which comes in has to spend immediately for healthcare. They are only allowed to have 2 to 3 months in cash holdings

      I wouldn't assume that a UK bases system is what would benefit most Americans. We need to at least be willing to try things and admit what doesn't work and we should be willing to try things other nations have tried or adapt versions of them. We can take advantage of our ability to experiment with things on a state level before rolling out something federal. This may be one concern but the there's literally no perfect system for these things as sacrifices are going to exist to make choices as a society. I don't know what system would work best in the US, but it's issues are far reaching and many think it's due for a change.

      I think Canada's healthcare is better since it does not discriminate whether the person is rich or poor they are treated equally. The problem is an aging population and fewer people to work in addition, the Canadian government pass a bill that pushes nurses to the US (Bill 124). Canada forgets to compensate their nurses, They make a salary limit to nurses due to the pandemic. They overworked their nurses and in return, they pass a bill to punish nurses, Why not just Tax the Cannabis and things that make people go to the hospital like sugar food tax or salty food tax, just please not the worker who is heavily taxed. If you don't work in healthcare, Canada is a better place. If you need heart surgery or any emergency they don't discriminate and they will give it to you for free.
