Heile und Herrsche

What we are currently experiencing in Germany is a turning point: hospitals are being sold off from public ownership to corporate healthcare groups. The patient is being sacrificed to digitalization. The healthcare system is being transformed into a profitable model where economists and politicians hold the reins. Bernd Hontschik calls for a medical care system free from economic dictates. He poses the crucial questions: Do we need a hundred health insurance companies? Can the unrestrained pharmaceutical industry be tamed? Must patient data be stored on central servers? How can we put an end to the pressure of work and miserable pay in the nursing sector?.
