You mean the municipality, which you also are a part of, and pay tax to?
If the commenter you're responding to is from the US then no. We have privately owned for profit hospitals and often they're the only option in ones area.
People always get called out for assuming everything is about the US but Europeans do it just as much lol
Well, I can tell you the wait time is just as bad when it's covered by taxpayer money
There aren't very many hospitals or medical facilities owned by municipalities anymore. Most are either owned and operated by a private hospital network, or operate under a private trust.
The hospital I work at used to be owned by the state via the university, but our governor literally gave the campus away to a private trust that operates for profit. Super fun times.
Doctors offices are. Hospitals are funded by thr government. Either way paid for by your tax.
Unless you are American? Things are fucked there, that's no news. But most of Europe doesn't operate like that
I think we may be talking about two different countries....
Ahh, yep. Definitely different countries.
Quite a few doctor’s offices are owned or ran by a management group, partly to share or reduce their costs due to bureaucratic insurance companies and HIPAA compliance. Those same management groups use the doctors like a cash cow and attempt to shovel as many patients at them as they can because a venture fund is running the group behind the scenes.
Maybe in the USA. Dr Dropin is the only privately owned doctors office I know about in Norway, and they are generally not that often used
That's a funny name for an urgent care place, from the english "drop in appointment."
We have "legevaktå" for urgent doctor visits, so Dr Dropin isn't realøy needed for that either. Or anything for that matter. Which is way nobody uses it. It has to be paid fully out of your own pocket and it's expensive, and options exists.
I hear you, I just thought it was a funny name from my American perspective. Du lutger dritgodt.
