If you ask me this is the BIGGEST story today. But the LSM won't breath a word of this because it DESTROYS their narrative. But more than that it shows EXACTLY what they want to happen to America. And That is why they all hate Trump so much, he's MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.

Finland’s Prime Minister Juha Sipilä resigned Friday morning, one month ahead of an election.

“The social welfare and health care reform was one of our government’s most important objectives,” Sipilä said at a press briefing. “The snapshot of the situation that I got from the parliament obliged me to examine if there was a possibility of continuing the reform process. There wasn’t.

 

“My conclusion was that my government had to hand in our note of resignation,” he added. “I take my responsibility.”

Finland has a decentralized system of health and social welfare programs, where much of the administration is left to local municipalities. This arrangement has led to widespread geographic variation when it comes to quality and access to health care services.

The reform was meant to address these inequalities and reduce the growing cost of the country’s health care system, which has come under increasing stress from an ageing population. It included centralization of the administration at a regional level.

Last month, Sipilä spoke to POLITICO about the “very difficult” social and health care changes, calling them the country’s “biggest reform since the Second World War.”

“The publicity and discussion and debate during the process we have had in Finland, it has been painful, and it shows that people are afraid of change,” he said.

There has been general agreement among political parties of the need to reform the system. However, the parties differ when it comes to the finer details, which has led to the current impasse

Sipilä’s Center Party had agreed to some reforms pushed for by the center-right National Coalition Party that would allow for more privatization of health care services, but this move was fiercely opposed by the left-leaning and Green parties,  Laura Kalliomaa-Puha, a professor of social welfare law at Tampere University, said.

“It has been politically extremely difficult,” Kalliomaa-Puha said.

“Prime Minister Sipilä will request to resign because the health care reform cannot be accomplished during this government term,” Antti Kaikkonen, the head of Sipilä’s Center Party’s parliamentary group wrote on Twitter. He added: “If anyone asks what political responsibility means, then I would say this is an example of that.”

According to local media, President Sauli Niinistö asked Sipilä to remain in office as a caretaker PM until an April 14 parliamentary election

Finland's government resigns after healthcare reform fails

• The president approved Prime Minister Juha Sipila's resignation and asked his government to continue as a care-taker government until a new cabinet has been appointed.
• Sipila had previously said he would dissolve his center-right coalition government if it failed to push through its healthcare and local government reform.

Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipila announces his government's resignation at a news conference at his official residence, Kesaranta, in Helsinki, Finland March 8, 2019.

Finland's government resigned on Friday after ditching plans to reform the healthcare system, a key policy, the Finnish president's office said, throwing the country into political limbo.

The president approved Prime Minister Juha Sipila's resignation and asked his government to continue as a care-taker government until a new cabinet has been appointed.

The collapse of the government comes just one month before parliamentary elections are due, after Sipila failed to push through the reforms. The changes were crucial to the three-party governing coalition's plan to balance public finances.

Financial constraints are colliding with the healthcare costs imposed by Finland's fast-ageing population. But cutting those costs is a major political obstacle in a Nordic country that historically has provided an extensive -- and expensive -- healthcare system.

Sipila resigned "because the healthcare reform cannot be accomplished during this government term," Antti Kaikkonen, the head of Sipila's Center Party's parliamentary group, wrote on Twitter. Several governments have tried to push through reforms in different forms over the past 12 years.

"Since elections were already set for 14 April, the resignation of the government is not a big deal at all at this point. Still, it does create some ugly headlines," Nordea's chief analyst wrote on Twitter.

According to the government, the reform could have curbed the annual growth of Finland's public social and healthcare expenses to 0.9 percent from the current estimate of 2.4 percent between 2019 and 2029.

Sipila had previously said he would dissolve his center-right coalition government if it failed to push through its healthcare and local government reform

Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipila stepped down just weeks before a general election after failing to push through parliament plans to overhaul health services and social care in the face of an aging population.

The former businessman tendered his resignation to President Sauli Niinisto, who asked him to stay on as caretaker until the April 14 vote.

The decision is seen as a tactical move that will allow his Center Party a freer hand during the election campaign in the northernmost euro country.

“The collapse of the government is in a way surprising, but also understandable,” said Pasi Kuoppamaki, chief economist at Danske Bank A/S in Helsinki. “Now the coalition partners can focus on campaigning for the elections without needing to cooperate closely. There will be no major impact on the economy.”

Sipila’s decision is also an admission that the government was unable to rally enough support to push its pro-market reforms through parliament

In the US, healthcare costs are now around 3.6 Trillion$ annually.

 

Many from both political parties think it is good for govt. to control it...I don't see how that could ever work other than

increasing the costs. I think the only way to "reform" healthcare is more competition from the marketplace, and less govt. involvement.

 

Perhaps we should go back to the early model of healthcare, where it was not for profit, like in the 60's and 70's before Nixon and Kaiser came up with the insurance scam that was in part responsible for the gradual increase in costs.

 

It is a mess, not just in the US but other countries. I often wonder how anyone survived in the days before people wanted govt. to control their lives? That never works, it only creates more dependence and statism. I think folks need to realize a country such as the US that has 320 million + people residing here is not an easy task to manage it all...not to mention trying to fool people into thinking govt. healthcare is a "good thing".

 

Healthcare must begin with the person taking care of themselves first, eating properly, rather than running to the ER for everything like it has become now.

 

Finland is feeling what happens when political promises are made that can never be carried through.

 

Thanks for the post...
