EU’s bedste sundhedsvæsen

Hvor får man den bedste health care i EU?

Ifølge en ny undersøgelse fra Boston Consulting Group findes det bedste sundhedsvæsen i Holland, Schweiz… og Danmark! Men kommer dette sygehusvæsen i virkeligheden med for store omkostninger? The Economist har dette syn på undersøgelsen:

THE private provision of health care comes in several forms across Europe. In Germany and the Netherlands it provides coverage for those not on government schemes; in Britain and Ireland it duplicates state-run systems; and in France it tops up cover from official programmes. But do private health schemes lead to better care overall? A study by the Boston Consulting Group concludes that countries relying mainly on insurance—such as France, Germany and the Netherlands—provide better care than those, like Britain, Italy and Spain, that are chiefly funded by taxes and which spend less on health care as a proportion of GDP.

Vil man gøre det danske sundhedsvæsen endnu bedre, kan man altså enten lægge sig mere op af det hollandske system (der giver bedre service for de samme penge) eller Irland (der giver ringere, men stadig over gennemsnittet, service til væsentlig mindre penge).
