I'm Italian and here public healthcare gets worse every day, thanks to continuous budget cuts and political incompetence. Nowadays if you want get blood tests in my region you have to wait months, or go through insurance, usually provided by... Your employer. Fuck them all.
Ouch. There is a big medical school here and there is a decent amount of medical offices in the area. I can walk down the road in the morning for standard blood work and view my test results on my phone by the afternoon. Specialists can still be months of waiting though.
I'm sorry to hear that… I expected something like this the moment the fascists won though. As far as I know you also lost social security (as in money for the jobless), right?
We probably have this in our future as well. Despite our government generally doing a good job (despite & except the neoliberal dick who once was our finance minister and just got fired) in this last legislature, far-right media propaganda is simply overwhelming. A christo-fascist outcome isn't too unlikely next time. 😔 It will wreak havoc on everything.
Yeah no the fascists don't have anything to do with this, or better, they're just the last of a list of legislatures going back to the 90s who kept cutting the public services' budgets, with a big upturn after the 2008 subprime crisis.
No we haven't lost unemployment pay, they removed, for better or for worse, what the previous government instituted and labelled as "universal basic income", which in the end took the form of a more generous unemployment pay, but we still have the standard one.
The truth is there's actually very little difference between "left" and "right" governments nowadays: 10 years ago Renzi, with an allegedly left-wing government, actuated the biggest removal of workers right in recent history... They're all rich kids anyway, all they care about is taking more and more money from the general populace.
