"в где я не прав".
Миша, не в где, а по чем.:-D You are right, but private hospitals are almost impossible these days. It is, as you point out, a function of supply of demand, but out system is so cumbersome and top-heavy, so overburdened with bureaucratic apparatus, so profit-driven and so defensive, that I am now at a total loss as to what it might take to reform it. Some genius reformer? I amdvery unhappy with the way this reform was conducted,but - we'll wait and see.... The only way I see to make it cheaper is to provide some universal Catastrophic coverage and make insurance totally independent of your place of employment. If you want to buy more - buy more, otherwise - just pay cash for anything no-urgent or preventive. I wrote on this idea of 3-tier insurance ( 1st- universal *basic for all, 2nd- buy coverage for illness, 3rd - "fancy- shmancy" policy for those who want it). Unfortunately, this reform was totally hijacked by insurance and Pharma lobby, and *, in this country, to paraphrase "кто платит, тот заказывает музыку", - кто держит кошелек, тот диктует законы.....Грустная ситуация.
