I have to register some people in insurance and I am too tired to do so.

But it will make their lives easier.
One of them is a little girl who needs three surgeries.
Her parents have no social security but if someone who is insured takes her under their guardianship, she will have a better access to healthcare.
I found someone. I am not capable of taking anymore kids under my name.
This little girl is cute. I even dreamed about her last night.
I also dreamed of someone who passed away telling me to check on his family.
I don't believe in supernatural nonsense but I often act on my dreams because I think some of them are my brain's way to interpret cues I miss on while awake.

I'm surprised that with your country's vast fossil fuel resources there is no seamless universal healthcare and social safety net

@ThirstenHowl
It is universal healthcare.
Public hospitals and polyclinics are free of charge for everyone, regardless of insurance status or nationality.
But medications are not and you need to be insured and/or have the nationality.

@Miram is the little girl from another country?

@ThirstenHowl

Yes, they're not algerian.

But to be clear, this problem can exist for algerians too.

There are people who are still not into documentations and the sort.

Also, although healthcare has been public for so many years. A public right. There is a new growing issue.

Private sectors have managed to corrupt the flow.

There should be a law which prevents people from both running a private business and working for the government.

Because it is more increasingly common to steal resources and pour them into the private sector.

It is insanely common.

There is a scandal every other year.

@Miram you go way above and beyond (no doubt in part because so many around you are doing the bare minimum or less) and are genuinely an angel, I'm sincerely glad for all the good you do, but also always concerned about you overdoing it to your body and mind's own detriment, every day I hope you will find more balance, and no longer be the one going it alone to help those in need, you need to manufacture an airborne virus that triggers a widespread mental paradigm shift in your colleagues

@ThirstenHowl

The government pays 100% for our training. It didn't in my case because I went abroad and won scholarships in different field than they sponsored me for.

But generally they pay 100%. You have no debts. I think it is reasonable to prevent letting the private sector grow in the way it does.

👀 Don't put good ideas into my brain.

@Miram I hate the coexistence of public systems with private (particularly for-profit) systems ... private will always erode the public system ... like in the US we need to completely abolish private sector health insurance, and replace it 100% with a public system, it's the only way a public system will be perfected and maintained, if there is no escape hatch (an a escape hatch which will sabotage and plunder the public system for its own benefit)

In healthcare I think at most the only valid role for the private sector is in manufacture of equipment and medicine, not in the delivery of healthcare (with caps on profit particularly when profiting from research originating in the public sector)

@ThirstenHowl Yes, healthcare isn't a market. It is a human right. In the case of biomedical technology, the existence of a market helps drive innovation.
