Forum Overview :: Motherfucking News :: This is why the UK and Canada are now moving towards Swedish-style HC

[quote name="Senor Barborito"]Under Swedish variations, it's essentially math-dictated capitalism - whomever treats the most people successfully (ACTUAL FORMULA FAR MORE COMPLEX THAN THIS, FACTORING IN ACTUAL PEOPLE GOING TO A GIVEN HOSPITAL, AVERAGE RECOVERY RATE FOR THEIR ILLNESS, ETC.) gets the most money. It's simply math at that point with the weighted values for those aforementioned 'other factors' acting as determiners are easily adjusted to deliver optimal results. Hell, run it through a good neural network and see how the neural nets adjust their weight average, and boom you've got the optimum values for your society. Quickly graph this against spending/health yield graph curve, pick a spending rate two standard deviations above your optimal (or not, you heartless fucker) return intersection and TADA you've got the figure for how much money you'll need to invest in your healthcare system, exactly, to make it the best in the world. --SB[/quote]
