1/ Our #healthsystem is unraveling. And it's happening fast. Last week alone we saw silenced scientists, gutted safety nets, and cancer info teams shut down. We’re not just spinning wheels, we’re speeding toward collapse. So what would building something better really look like? 🧵

Lordy, the waiting lists. And the procedures not properly covered by Medicare. (I have been so grateful to private surgeon & anaesthetist generosity in reducing fees for repeat necessary treatments.) Australia's #healthsystem now rich v poor, city v regional, especially maternity.
Struggling to afford specialist doctors’ fees? See if your GP can refer you to one of Australia’s free public hospital clinics

Excellent treatment is available for outpatients – though where you live matters and wait lists can be long

I'm not going to say the US healthsystem is great or even good but listen to stories of various countries and you see they all have issues even though they're universal.
UK: so NHS is massively understaffed thanks to policy choices that they have LONG wait lists

Because...
1. Labour started the project
2. Tax cuts needed more money
3. If we had an IT systems that actually worked, it might improve productivity and wait times in the healthsystem and undermine this government's goal to privatise it

ACIP now not recommending the HepB vaccine is an atrocity. This is against the grain of major medical organizations and doesnt make sense in a healthsystem where prenatal care/screening are a struggle for many and deaths from HepB are unnecessarily high.

On paper, the system works for families like Raewyn’s. In reality? It only works because of her. This post makes visible the invisible labour of parents navigating complex health, disability, and social systems in Aotearoa NZ:

Let's stop trying to fix symptoms of #HealthSystem problems; instead we should be carefully considering what exactly should be addressed at the root. Political expedience & 4 yr election cycles make us jump to inelegant policies that have unintended, often negative consequences.
