Health insurance - or more pain?

Discussions about health care in Norway is strange. On both sides shouting that we must do something. Now, health insurance has become a theme. Not because they are poor or expensive, but because it allows for faster treatment if you are willing to pay for it. Check insurance when they find out where there is free space in a more appropriate way, rather than the health care system can be done on your own. And they pay for services, and when found, is much faster than health care itself can do, you will be treated in the .... yes, only the health sector.

Should we make ourselves or the children?

Right now brought in the courts as if it will damage the health care system, where the main idea is that everyone should be treated as late. Apart from the importance of rapid treatment. Achilles tendon taken today for treatment only after 97 days. Monday readers of Health statistics for the South and SSB, it is clear from this that took much longer - even up to 3 times longer - than if you sign-care insurance for the same injury. Now, argues Professor of Social Medicine today that it takes 70 days for some treatments, longer for others - but that is acceptable and there is no crisis. Yes, it must be true. But why in the Norwegian business community to wait 70-90 days' sick-notes, when he went away with 30?

Insurance companies take advantage of parents' fears

And this will damage the health of Norway?

I understand that during the Norwegian health care does not impose conditions that facilitated that someone can actually get both means-tested treatment and care within the same insurance company can offer. For the last treatment in places exactly the same - whether you pay through your insurance or choose to stand in line at the Norwegian health care.

Health Rødgrønne queue to blame

And then that started to get difficult to understand. You really get out of the queue. There are a lot of pain all the time, if someone has insurance or not. Insurance products show clearly that there is capacity faster processing. The problem is that someone will pay for it. And that person can not pay for it. Norwegian companies are not so stupid that they do not realize that the long-term message because too much processing time is an expensive affair. Mon struggling with Achilles problems, must be because it takes 3 times longer, - where the costs are added to the business. Not only to cover the pain, but to check the temps, or let the job done. It's also great cost of money to train new people for short term or long. Besides the need to accelerate the replacement arrangements without a steady job. People who are sick will be normal again - just takes more time.

Offer through health queue

As written today in the newspapers today that a person really wants to do something about health insurance is sold, rather than doing something that gives the shorter treatment in the Norwegian health care?

Bjarne Håkon profit health long queues

Could not understand me. Why on earth can not the government introduce the same scheme - have tried and tested revenue - at all?

An example may be necessary to test the quality of life, the cost of employer costs for society and the individual's income.

Hold the thought about akillesen to be processed:

- About akillesen causing your problems so that exceeds the quality of life, you - yes, you have to be processed more quickly than you can wait for 3 months

- About akillesen on society through paid sickness, unemployment compensation and rehabilitation, - yes you have to treat more quickly.

Health insurance - forget it!

- About akillesen result in increased costs for employers through education, facilitation, low competitiveness - yes - you should be treated more quickly, or supplying employers compensation outside the normal period of sick-notes

- If you do not have the income to allow you to process in a private clinic, which has a waiting list is shorter - yes, - so will you provide for compensation from the state to ensure you get a faster treatment.



All this might be and try to some extent NOK today. That way it would in all Fal not caused by differences in economic class.


What about all the people who currently pay for this through health insurance? They may very well continue with this, which in turn will lead to competition much greater in the health care system today - where the turnaround is a significant competitive advantage. This will result in more efficient health care system, which also will control the quality as well.

This is a way not described today that households and businesses pay for the Norwegian something they are not used to. Men are not so foolish or business leaders. Waiting for treatment degrades job satisfaction, quality of life and cost of money. It's that simple. Norwegian business sector that do not pay the referee expensive for something that does not give value for money. Therefore, the increase in health insurance sales.
