A Hybridized Public/Private Healthcare System

 - Jake - 03-17-2023

Most trips to the doctor are not super duper serious and do not require exquisite skill on behalf of the Doc, relying on your basic medical training.

The private healthcare system is a big issue and there are many problems within.  One of the major problems is the incredible amount of money that is spent on basic treatment and prescriptions, with some scripts costing thousands of dollars for just a few pills or for a simple brace or pair of crutches, which is ridiculous.  The silver tape, built up bureaucracy and who knows who of the privatized healthcare system is to blame.  One of the only benefits of our system is that extremely skilled doctors can be found, but most often that is not needed.

Other countries have had alot of success with a public healthcare system in keeping costs to the general public down, but have suffered somewhat in retaining ultra-skilled professionals due to a reduction in the amount of money flowing through the system, which causes nightmares on the other side of the spectrum.

Texit.pro suggests a hybridized system.

A hybrid system would entail a way for most standard treatments to be handled by a govt regulated system, much like the police.  But then offer a separate system to where people with luxury income can elect to also enroll in a private healthcare "auxiliary" system which would offer higher pay for more skilled doctors and more critical and cutting edge medicine, so that way people would not be left with run of the mill doctors for extremely demanding/life-threatening procedures, and doctors could maintain their socioeconomic status, skill levels, general code and debonair.

Such an approach would also offer a less stressful, stable transition.  Would you concur?
