Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.



Finland's per capita healthcare costs are roughly half that of the US. We'd be damn lucky to have Finland's problems.

This https://www.politico.eu/article/finlands-government-collapses-over-fai
led-health-care-reform
/ article was far less obviously biased.

Finland has not collapsed. It's economy has not collapsed. The health care system has not collapsed.

The problems as outlined were - 1) existing decentralization, which led to disparities between areas in health care and 2) the failure of the government to bring both sides of the political spectrum onto the same page to centralize the health system.

FWIW Canada's healthcare went through a similar process of centralization in the 70's; resulting in a system of universal, lifetime, and free (no out of pocket) healthcare that costs roughly half per capita as the US's.

But Finland has some particular things that affect population health, and those are 1) population genetics, 2) heart disease (due to the traditional Finnish diet), and 3) alcohol.
