All corporations would have to agree to pay higher salaries for their employees. Usually politicians don't get things done when corporations are against such things, or things move only very slowly forward. Stichwort: Schummelsoftware in Autos von deutschen Konzernen. |
In Australia we have universal health care called medicare where a 2% surcharge is charged on a persons tax rate above a certain income level , now this system isn't perfect , it like most systems in the world is struggling to keep up with the expotential increase in medical costs , but it means that all Australians have a saftey net giving them access to medical treatment , private insurance unlike the US is mainly handled by employees rather than employers taking out an individual or family policy with a private insurer pretty much like any other form of insurance. The attraction of this in a country where every one has a healthcare card is non emergency procedures in public hospitals by shear demand have waiting lists so you may be on a 6 to 12mth wait or longer depending on the type of procedure, the same procedure may be done in a matter of days or weeks with private insurance.
Another side of this is a lot of specialists here work in both the private and public hospital systems, the trade off being in return for letting the specialists use expensive and hard to replicate facilities available to large public hospitals to treat some of their private patients they in turn do work for the hospital so you may get something like for every private patient they book in at the private rat, they will treat say 3 public patients at the hospitals at the public rate so the hospital wins by gaining access to top private doctors and surgeons and the doctors and surgeons get access to the hospitals facilities including theatre staff.
