Italy has 2 months wait in the public system before the coronavirus. Italy’s 2nd best healthcare system is driven by their private hospitals.
their public hospitals are over run and met capacity The private hospitals still had beds 3 weeks ago
Italy's health system at limit in virus-struck Lombardy
Their public hospitals started turning away people. The private hospitals offered a little help.
“Private hospitals in Lombardy have offered up beds in intensive care units and more than a dozen doctors from the private sector have agreed to work in public hospitals to ease the crisis, regional president Attilio Fontana said.“
And their issue was directly because of the their public health issue.
Leap in coronavirus cases tests limits of Italy's health system
The weakness lay in the mixed structure of the National Health Service (SSN), with both the central government and the regional administrations sharing control of the system.
This approach led to some confusion during the early days of the outbreak when local governors adopted different approaches, sometimes leading to a clash with Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.
"A single line of command both in decision making as well as in communication is highly desirable in these circumstances," said Ricciardi.
Lack of doctors, wards
Italy built the SSN, its national health service, in 1978 following a "Beveridge structure" as a unified and centralised system with universal access to all the patients.
"In case of an epidemic, this is the best model, as it intercepts and treats all the cases," Francesco Longo, director of the healthcare sector at Observatory at Bocconi University (OASI), told Al Jazeera.
However, concerns arise about the resilience of the SSN.
"The government ensured that the different regions were provided with new protective devices, such as masks, but we are still receiving reports about shortages," Filippo Anelli, president of the National Federation of the Orders of Doctors, told Al Jazeera.
The association of medical directors (ANAAO) sounded the alarm about the lack of beds in intensive therapy in Lombardy, where 95 percent of them are full.
All over the country, intensive care departments are hosting 567 infected patients, while the national capacity is 5,395 beds.
"If Lombardy struggles along, I am worried about what happens if the virus reaches the southern part of Italy, where we lack both personnel and equipment," said Anelli.
According to OASI's latest report, investment in public healthcare accounted for only 6.8 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP), which lags behind countries such as France and the United Kingdom.
"This means that the system works efficiently, but constantly saturates its productive capacity and has few resources when it comes to emergencies," said Longo.
To face such shortages, the health minister arranged for a 50 percent increase of units in intensive care, doubled down the number of beds in infectious disease wards and laid the ground for the immediate enrollment of 20,000 new doctors and nurses.
They still have space bc italy didn’t nationalize the private hospitals.
Spain and The UK both knew they didn’t have the resources and took over private hospitals.
Where did you get that stat from that they have a higher respirator/ventilator per capita than the us? It’s a made up stat. U made it up
Logic and reality both left you behind somewhere brother.
naw u just believe white fairytales instead of ppl actually putting in work.
There’s a difference in black ppl helping write your policies like Biden
Health Care and Communities of Color | Joe Biden
- Doubling America’s investment in community health centers. Community health centersprovide primary, prenatal, and other important care to underserved populations. In 2015, 59% of patients at community health centers were people of color and one quarter were uninsured. The Biden Plan will double the federal investment in these centers, expanding access to high quality health care for the populations that need it most.
and black ppl just being on stage with u like Bernie. Motherfukkers even tried to work with Bernie and throw him a bone before the election. Sanders and Clyburn Introduce Bill to Expand Community Health Centers
When it came down to him actually putting it in his policies. Silence, absolutely nothing.
Bernie Sanders on Healthcare
Community health centers (CHCs) and school-based health centers (SBHCs) provide primary medical, dental, mental health care, substance use disorder treatment, and low-cost prescription drugs to 28 million people in 11,000 communities in every state across the country. They have received additional funding through the Affordable Care Actto support and expand their services.
Medicaid expansion is only effective if clinics, doctors, and hospitals accept it. That’s why Bernie fought hard to include a provision in the ACA to fund new Community Health Centers. It was a deft move that The Intercept described as making an “indelible mark on American healthcare, extending the number of people served by clinics from 18 million before the ACA to an expected 28 million next year.” This move allowed progressive Democrats to vote in approval of the ACA despite the elimination of a public option.
In 2019, Bernie introduced legislation with Rep. James Clyburn to fund and expand Community Health Centers and the National Health Service Corps, which supports healthcare providers who work in underserved communities and provides scholarships and loan-repayment to over 10,000 clinicians each year.
The Sanders and Clyburn’s bill would allow 5.4 million more Americans to receive the primary care they need.
Here’s a video of the news conference where Bernie introduced the bill
He didn’t add shyt about it. Just a open ended promise of expansion. No actual promise of funding.
But to the Bernie blacks I bet u think Clayburn and black politicians are loyal to “corporate dems”. Bernie had his shot to win clayburns endorsement. Just promise a certain amount of money to for community health care centers something we depend in our community greatly. Bernie refused to do so
even after we handed him the bill to “lead” earlier in the year. Y’all nikkas are straight comedy I swear
did u know the hbcu funding model “Bernie supported” allocated money from that to Hispanic Insitituions and hbcus got less money.
he copied that model from trump too btw. Black Bernie voters are lazy low information voters it’s apparent. U want to blow everything up to be “included with the cool kids” shyts disgusting.
low information voters are dangerous
So Italy, which has more hospital beds per capita than USA, ran out of hospital beds because dying patients couldn't access them, public hospitals were the MAIN ones serving desperate people while private hospitals continued to have unused space, and your answer is to double-down on the private hospitals.
Like people were getting fukked over because private hospitals weren't giving up their space and you see that as a selling point for private hospitals.
Not to mention that Bernie never suggested getting rid of private hospitals so those would all still exist under his system.
This would be shocking if I hadn't already pointed out all this shyt to you the first time you got embarrassed in a thread, now you doing it again?
Every point I make I prove you wrong, you double down, I prove you wrong again, you deflect to a new topic. You just want to keep a private insurance system SO HARD. Even though the USA is demonstrably providing by far the worst care to Black and poor citizens of any developed country, you want to double down on that shyt.
I really got to ask you how much of your income (salary or investment) comes from health insurance companies, because I've never seen a fool cape this hard unless his pockets were in it. But I'm not going to read your answer, cause at this point you well exposed and everyone else sees that enough to not justify wasting any more of my time. You bushed breh.

Sanders and Clyburn have been working together on the community health center issue for 15 years, it doesn't have shyt to do with the election.
""I have worked very closely with Bernie Sanders on many issues, community health centers, we've been working on that together for 15 years. I do believe that community health centers as well as other initiatives in rural America, I think that Bernie Sanders brings a lot to the table for people to consider," Clyburn said. "
His bill he and Clyburn were already pushing through Congress increases community health center funding by 10% every year. And he continues to push that shyt right now. Claiming he's silent on it is total bullshyt.
Where do you come up with this random fantasy shyt? Clyburn wasn't going to endorse Bernie under any circumstances, his endorsement was already set long ago, you just made that shyt up. At most he would have withheld his endorsement of Biden but there was no way he would buck the establishment and endorse Bernie, he wouldn't even endorse Obama in 2008. And Bernie DID promise a certain about of money for community health centers, did you not read the fukking bill you just posted?
Clyburn takes victory lap after Biden wins big on Super Tuesday
"Biden and Clyburn have a longstanding relationship, and the 14-term congressman said he had known for months he would endorse former President Obama's No. 2.
Clyburn told The Hill he started talking with a number of black lawmakers, including Reps. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio) and Cedric Richmond (D-La.), around Christmastime about what they needed to do to help Biden get the nomination.
“All of us felt he was our best hope not just to win the presidency but our best hope to maintain our majority in the House of Representatives, and to split the Senate,” Clyburn said."
"Clyburn, the highest ranking African American in Congress, has long been close with Biden and has been open about his affinity for the former vice president during the Democratic primary."
Bernie on Not Courting Clyburn’s Support: ‘No Way on God’s Earth’ He Was Endorsing Me
"After saying he knew Clyburn well and that they’d worked together on Obamacare in the past, Sanders added: “Look, it is no secret—Jim is a very nice guy, I like him and respect him—his politics are not my politics. And I respect him, but there’s no way in God’s earth he was going to be endorsing me.”"
You live in some fukking fantasy world. No one "handed" Bernie the bill this year, they've literally worked on this issue together for years.
Why would Clyburn hand Bernie a bill for the sole purpose of helping him when he's friends with Biden and he's openly said his politics align closer with Biden's and he doesn't think socialism plays in South Carolina?
The amount of bullshyt you make up is astounding.
Welcome to my ignore list.
lol u knew nothing about it until I told u. It was 100% handed to Bernie.
If Bernie co wrote the bill why didn’t he put something he co-wrote directly into his own healthcare plan?
U literally just made up Bernie wrote it with no proof.
Stay on the internet while real nikkas actually making moves. Lazy Bernie fans are ridiculous
when I learned this years ago I was shocked.
He was apparently until recently or... basically since he joined the White House, the poorest senator.
OK. And?
Its easier to accomplish than outright banning it right now.
This is what I'm talking about.
Incrementalism isn't terrible if you're actually marching towards a goal line.
Republicans will spend 20 years arguing a single bullet point then y'all act surprised when they run the map for a generation.
Its time to get strategic.
