I'm listening to an interview with the Minister of Health, Mrs. Hazelina. He answers a question of small importance. It makes sense, but it's all marginal. Why doesn't anyone ask her a fundamental question:
-Is it worth the doctors taking out queues to specialists?
My 4-year-old granddaughter is expected to have a beautiful banal procedure, but it should be done as shortly as possible. Unfortunately, the NFZ can be done in 2 years. Privately, you can do almost immediately for any PLN 5 thousand. 1 can say that “the mediocre did not find specified money” and, of course, we will find it, but, IMHO, it is simply a granda. We pay for wellness insurance for tens of thousands of PLN and why should we treat ourselves privately?
Of course, doctors have no motivation to destruct ridiculously long state treatment periods.
I believe that a doctor employed "on a state" should have an absolute ban on working "in private". It's either public or private. Never and never.
Maybe then, like touching the magic wand, the queues to the specialists would be gone.
Or can it be that those who want to trust on private wellness care don't pay taxes on state wellness care, they just insure themselves privately?
One thing's for sure: as long as doctors pay for the queues, they will.
