According to an
OECD report published in 2013,
the Finnish health system is chronically underfunded. The Nordic nation of five million people spent only 7% of GDP on its public health system in 2012, compared with 8% in the UK. In 2012, the report found,
80% of the Finnish population had to wait more than two weeks to see a GP. Finland’s high taxes go on education and daycare.
Well, of course, if the legislature underfunds the thing, people are not going to be thrilled with something.
Oh and btw, unless something's really not right, were I to call today for an appointment with my PCD, the earliest appointment I can get will be at least two weeks from now, maybe a month. It may not be that way "in the middle of nowhere," but in D.C. and for top doctors in large medical LLC practices, that's normal.
LOL.
The Finns responding to Haley sure do seem upset.
But I love how you think spending 7% on your healthcare system is somehow bad, when the US is in double digits with worse outcomes.
But I guess you can see your GP a little faster? Certainly with a few dead moms, amirite?
