Primary healthcare services are provided by general practitioners (GPs), other private practicing healthcare professionals such as dentists, physiotherapists, and psychologists and by the municipalities which are responsible for home nursing, prevention measures and rehabilitation. ]]> 2017-12-13 07:40:11 UTC https://padlet.com/amalie_jh/a0dnxlsdkuar/wish/215687964 Sweden's high tax rate astr2128 https://padlet.com/amalie_jh/a0dnxlsdkuar/wish/215688008 Sweden uses the universal welfare model, which means mainly the public sector is responsible for welfare in the country.

Welfare in Sweden is primarily founded by taxes, and executed by organisations in the government as well as private ones. The very first welfare system in sweden was the mandatory aiding of the poor was introduced in 1734.  In 1913 elderly care was arranged.
  
The Ministry of health and social affairs is tasked with handling welfare laws and making sure the system works in Sweden.

The entire population was equal access to health care, and it is mostly free of charge. However, dental services costs money and varies in price depending on dentist, as they have private clinics.
 Sweden uses almost a third of its welfare income on immigrants. A large portion also goes to the working force and education. More than a third and the largest budget is with the elderly.
Sweden has very high taxes compared to other countries, the money goes to fund the bigger state and provide rich welfare to its citizens.

Within the Danish welfare system, a number of services are available to citizens, free of charge. This means that for instance the Danish health and educational systems are free. The Danish welfare model is subsidised by the state, and as a result Denmark has one of the highest taxation levels in the world. ]]> 2017-12-13 07:42:07 UTC https://padlet.com/amalie_jh/a0dnxlsdkuar/wish/215688338 The U.S. spends more on healthcare than any other country — but not with better health outcomes mari320u https://padlet.com/amalie_jh/a0dnxlsdkuar/wish/215688375 The US spends much more per person than any other developed country, but despite spending more, the results don’t necessarily yield better health. Both Italy and Britain, for example, spent at least $5,000 less per person than the United States on healthcare, and yet the population of each of those countries has a higher life expectancy at birth than the United States.

In 2010, Obamacare became the closest the US has come to a system of UHC. A legal mandate now requires all Americans to have insurance or pay a penalty. About 26 million people remain without health insurance despite these advances.

Salaried workers and employees below the relatively high income threshold of almost 50,000 Euros per year are automatically enrolled into one of currently around 130 public non-profit "sickness funds" at common rates for all members, and is paid for with joint employer-employee contributions. Provider payment is negotiated in complex corporatist social bargaining among specified self-governed bodies (e.g. physicians' associations) at the level of federal states (Länder). The sickness funds are mandated to provide a unique and broad benefit package and cannot refuse membership or otherwise discriminate on an actuarial basis. Social welfare beneficiaries are also enrolled in statutory health insurance, and municipalities pay contributions on behalf of them.]]> 2017-12-13 08:15:58 UTC https://padlet.com/amalie_jh/a0dnxlsdkuar/wish/215695217 Employer-sponsored healthcare mari320u https://padlet.com/amalie_jh/a0dnxlsdkuar/wish/215695420  In 1943 president Franklin D. Roosevelt imposed an effective freeze on labor wages, and companies started offering health and pension benefits as a way to retain workers instead. This was the beginning of employer-sponsored healthcare, though there was no government mandate to offer it (except in Hawaii). Unions began negotiating the benefits as part of what they could obtain for workers. The rest of the population wasn’t covered, but it meant the unions didn’t put pressure on the government to create a public health system.]]> 2017-12-13 08:17:05 UTC https://padlet.com/amalie_jh/a0dnxlsdkuar/wish/215695420 vlad0117 https://padlet.com/amalie_jh/a0dnxlsdkuar/wish/215695667 2017-12-13 08:18:41 UTC https://padlet.com/amalie_jh/a0dnxlsdkuar/wish/215695667 German welfare history vlad0117 https://padlet.com/amalie_jh/a0dnxlsdkuar/wish/215700428 Otto von Bismarck, the first Chancellor of Germany (in office 1871–90), developed the modern welfare state by building on a tradition of welfare programs in Prussia and Saxony that had begun as early as in the 1840s. The measures that Bismarck introduced – old-age pensions, accident insurance, and employee health insurance – formed the basis of the modern European welfare state. His paternalistic programs aimed to forestall social unrest (specifically to prevent an uprising like that of the Paris Commune in 1871), to undercut the appeal of the Social Democratic Party, and to secure the support of the working classes for the German Empire, as well as to reduce emigration to the United States, where wages were higher but welfare did not exist. Bismarck further won the support of both industry and skilled workers through his high-tariff policies, which protected profits and wages from American competition, although they alienated the liberal intellectuals who wanted free trade. During the 12 years of Hitler’s Third Reich, the National Socialists expanded and extended the welfare state to the point where over 17 million German citizens were receiving assistance under the auspices of the National Socialist People's Welfare (NSV) by 1939, an agency that had projected a powerful image of caring and support.

They are in charge of running hospitals and (through collective agreements) managing the general practitioner system. 

The hospital sector is responsible for specialised examinations as well as treatment and care of somatic and mental illnesses. A GP will refer patients to a hospital or to a specialist for specialised treatment. 

Hospital treatment is free of charge for residents in any region of Denmark, and emergency treatment is available to any person in need.
