Private Hospitals and Private Medical Insurance
Nearly ten million people already have some type of health insurance policies in Spain. Population growth, immigration, and the transformation of health in consumer products have fueled the healthcare sector and private medical insurance.
The private hospital is already a mass product that deals with the private health sector and private hospitals, we can draw some conclusions and issues to consider in our comparison of medical insurance:
- An increase in population from 39 to 46 million inhabitants, and a state that can not meet all the demand.
- A sprint on new medical technologies.
- A higher level of demand of the citizen.
- An improvement in living standards that has led to a significant proportion of the population aspires to a certain comfort during a hospital stay.
- Preventive medicine and aesthetics also appear as private health services.
- The improvement in the level of information for patients, now become demanding consumers.
- An average of 66.5 days of waiting for surgery (117.9 in Catalonia, 45 in Valencia).
In conclusion to this overview of the health care sector and private health, indicated that the growth of private health sector is produced by the best information from people, and because people get sick with or without crisis.
Are we willing to pay for medical insurance? Every time I see clearer than it is worth having a private health care.
