Cut healthcare, the crowing hen has laid an egg: shut up whoever is scandalized

Welfare and healthcare

Question: What is welfare? It is a social system that aims to guarantee all citizens the use of social services considered indispensable in a welfare state. Why this question? I read from multiple sources of information that the left is raising an outcry against cuts to healthcare.

If we want to be sincere we agree that all citizens they must have assistance from the National Health Service for their needs and that they should not have biblical times for their use. Unfortunately we are no longer scandalized and suffer at Fantozzi.

However, in order not to do injustice to the left, I would like to point out that in all governments up to that of Mario Draghi was present and also in force with the various Ministries. Question: why hasn't she been scandalized in the last 11 years and maybe even longer? It is widely believed that it is not just a question of base money, but that it is wants to privatize all healthcare (American style) simply for a question of profit. Could it be? Short memory? It is not fair to write an article without saying who and how much has cut and maybe even not spent.

Mario Monti Government 2012/13 promised but never disbursed 8 billion euros. Enrico Letta government 8.4 billion. Matteo Renzi Government 2015/17 16.6 billion. Paolo Gentiloni Silveri government 3.3 billion. Etc. Practically in total it seems that around 45 billion are missing.

Now let's move on to a question that may tease the minds: How much does healthcare spending affect the GDP (2,084.376 billion)? 8.7%, of which 6.4% comes from the state contribution, while 2.2% is private spending and by insurance companies. The question is: why does the Italian citizen have to take money out of his pocket that he has largely repaid with taxes?

It is not pleasant to be ironic about this sector, but from what we know, in a few years we will no longer need doctors and nurses (currently 17,000 doctors and 350,000 nurses are missing) who will “certainly” be replaced by much more professional figures without empathy That they will be called medical-android and they will use Artificial Intelligence to give relief to all our ailments and ailments, then there will be great savings and everything will go back to being free?

According to many, the dismantling of free public healthcare began in 1978 both to make room for politicians (politics always costs the State and therefore the citizens) and to open the doors to private facilities. I close with a Neapolitan proverb: Whoever has a lot of them is free from three things: money, health, freedom. (There are three things that those who have many despise: money, health, freedom).
