I am 100% convinced you can have a choice of doctor and also cheaper healthcare. Things like price transparency in advance would already cheapen a lot. Also, I am not sure I would be able to argue that in Germany you have harder time to choose who to see.
Absolutely. You can walk into any medical clinic without having to check networks or get referrals. Procedures are relatively affordable and there is enough supply of local doctors (which from my observation seem to be a lot of doctors who got tired of the hospital grind and “retired”) where small ailments get looked at quickly and affordably.
The only mind-boggling thing about their system is that hospitals close on the weekends. Like…???????
