It's called "demand destruction." Deny health care to a segment of the population, and then the rest can receive enough. The only question is: which segment? It helps if it can be made to seem as if "they [we] deserved it."
Me, I still don't have a GP. A little over two years ago, I tried to register with a clinic, they put me on a waiting list, then invited me to register after two and a half months, then asked if I was juiced, and when I said I wasn't, told me I wasn't welcome anymore. I could have tried to find another GP, I suppose, but after that experience (the icing on the corona-cake), I became so disgusted with the entire medical profession that I simply haven't been able to bring myself to do it. I just use my vacation days whenever I'm ill. It's generally not a problem up to a week or so. Let's hope I don't get one of those two-week fevers this winter, because I might actually need a doctor's note. (And yes, that's how I actually think about doctors at this point: I might need a piece of paper from them. I certainly don't expect that cartel to actually do anything for my health.)
That is an astute observation about the economic aspect. Of course, if you can make a share of the population go with you because 'we are entitled to this', it's a perfect wedge.
As to your GP, well, what can I say other than I'm sorry, but I'm unsure if that's the right word in light of what you describe. I suppose that, not being a doctor and all that, if you don't need like acute, ER-style attention (after a car accident or the like), I'm unsure this matters much: all I've seen GPs do is ask a few questions, at best, and then prescribe some drugs, typically a somewhat stronger painkiller than you'd get OTC or, for virtually any reason, broad-band antibiotics (often as a 'preventative' measure).
It's relatively better here in Norway: they have time and there's a cap on copays; in Switzerland, they're all private and charge by the second, but they at least have a stake in figuring out what's wrong and are quite open-minded in terms of treatment, at least in my limited experience (I'm thankfully quite healthy).
Still, the medical profession is rapidly turning into a certification industry claiming special insights for handing out such papers, isn't it?
Sweden is currently undergoing a Measles-epidemic, according to the media, an epidemic spawned by some dastardly parents not vaccinating their offspring.
The real major source of Measles here is two-fold:
There's a Theosophy-sect living outside Stockholm, and whenever they breed a new generation children, sure as rain cases of Measles make a jump withing two years of that spawning.
And migrants from Africa, who are generally not vaccinated against Measles, and therefore sometimes cause tens of cases per year, nationally.
Yes, tens of cases. According to the press, this is an epidemic worthy of enacting coercive laws re: vaccinations (though not targeting the Theosophists or any Africans, as that'd violate religious freedoms/be racist).
Last time we had a Measles-epidemic, dr Tegnell was still in charge, and laughed in the face of the ignorant urinalists trying to whip up a frothy panic.
Well, we also get these in Austria--last time, they blamed the measles 'outbreak™' on 'imported infections' (yes, there was a wedding of Turkish-born people, and the hate was flowing incessantly because of these 'dirty foreigners™' spreading disease).
Same shit, different smell.
All I'd do is--direct people to Our World in Data and ask them to look for 'cases' vs. 'deaths from' (here: measles); the US example is the most telling--as the latter decreased significantly around 20 years prior to 'the vaccine™' appearing on the market.
Thanks for spotting this! I've fixed it, and, of course, it should have been Dec. 2023 (gut given this nonsense, it could have been whatever, too, at this point, I suppose).
I wonder how much doctors and nurses shortage is due to the large intake of the bioweapon, or unwillingness to take it by leaving the medical profession e.g. early retirement, etc.
Well, first responders (like my police officer brother-in-law), nurses, and doctors were 'offered' priority access back in early 2021, often incl. the AstraZeneca death jab.
Then there's the 'sectoral vaccine mandate', which often included the Covid poison jabs.
Some are clearly dead (which is why they phased out the AZ death jab), others are injured/disabled, and quite a few left, with or without taking them up on the 'offer™'.
And then there's always the option of going fully private, i.e., pay-as-you-go but you won't be forced to comply to guidelines.

"The last wave was in December 2021"? What kind of nonsense is this? https://abwassermonitoring.at/dashboard/

Who would want to work in a system like that anymore?
That was my first thought, too, but I guess we won‘t be getting answers.
