Bumrungrad International Hospital: a top hospital (video)

In my eyes there is nothing wrong with making a profit.
Even find it very tasty.
However, there are sectors in society that should be kept clear of the so-called market forces.
Example?
Public transport, mail, health care.
Even in the US the postal service is a government company, and so is Amtrak railroads.
And in healthcare, the number of government clinics is increasing.
Must be good for something.
I don't really understand what your comment about communism has to do with this discussion, if I may call it that.
Perhaps you mean to accuse me of being a communist?
Because I don't approve of the rampant wistfulness of many?
And market forces the only way to work efficiently?
Like the far-reaching fragmentation of public transport in the Netherlands?
Or the fragmentation of the railways in England?
Can I summarize it like this?
The consequences of liberalization cost the taxpayer more if it is not liberalized.
Public transport in the Netherlands has become about 22% more expensive, no longer from the state rack, but from the provincial rack, but from the pocket of the taxpayer.
In my view, health care, driven by insurance companies on the one hand and shareholders on the other, is a nonsense.
And that has nothing to do with communism, but with a sense of reality.
And as for staying in a state hospital, there are also private rooms with air conditioning, TV, refrigerator, bathroom.
With a realistic price.
And Robert, apologies, I had overlooked that you were insured through the employer.
However, in my case, and with me many, are not insured through the employer, are insured with a Thai insurance, or perhaps not insured at all.
And I meant that group.
Example:
Identical operation.
State Hospital 82000 baht, all inclusive
Private hospital 221000 baht.
Including private room, and an extra day at the state hospital.
Yes, also the same doctor!!!!!!!
Would I then be allowed to say that the private hospital is too expensive, or perhaps even steals from the insurance company?
Or from the wallet of the “customer”?
Oh well, I'm a communist, according to K Peter.

That the health care in NL is absolutely bad and especially with the mentality of doctors and nurses. In NL you are a customer and not a patient. There is an atmosphere of 'don't whine', as a sick person you have to keep your mouth shut and do as you are told. Outrageous in one word.
On the other hand, I have very good experiences in Pattaya Hospital and some hospitals in BKK. Very friendly and good care and with doctors and nurses who do their work seriously and with policy. An example:
In the middle of the night (approx. 04:00) I got serious problems with my right leg, I could hardly get out of bed. Called the front desk downstairs and explained my problem. Within 5 minutes I was taken from my apartment in a wheelchair, a taxi was waiting and I was driven directly to the Pattaya Hospital. They were already waiting for me there and I was immediately taken to the treatment room where the doctor on duty was already waiting. After I explained what the complaints were, they immediately investigated, took pictures and treated. Received medication and within two hours I was back in my apartment. After three days, the problem in my leg was over. So it wasn't all that bad (fortunately). But what matters here is the efficiency and the decisive and fast action of everyone. On the other hand, for example, I have been here in NL for 10 days!!! I've been getting my blood checked for cholesterol. Because my GP disagreed with my cardiologist. Simply scandalous.

And the price……………for NL standards a pittance.
And as for luxury. Here in NL it is now 'poor trump'.
