While thinking of the manpower of the operating theatre, FY sighed, "You know, with the new proposal of medical insurance, the situation would be worse."
"Quite right, there would be even greater a demand for private surgeon," YH remarked.
"But not physician I suppose ?" I said, "The scheme seems to cover only surgery or some one-off treatment, but not for long term care of chronic medical diseases."
"You're right - and that screws up the whole thing," FY pointed out, "Good surgeons would go to the private market. But, for very complicated operations or high risk cases, private hospital would not take them up. On the other hand, there are fewer experts to handle these cases in the public sector."
"There would also be much problem in the training for new surgeons." YH pointed out.
"And, after all of the hassles, it doesn't help much to reduce the spending of the government hospital - the majority of which is for the care of people with chronic diseases." I added.
