Our Health Care isn't rotten to the core, it has some minor and some major flaws but calling it "rotten to the core" sorry Penguin but that's an utter exaggeration!
Sooner or later there will be a solution for the flaws of our health care system, but this will take years, but it will happen.

About the aspirin-link:That's why I wrote down the price fopr generic Aspirin, too.
Anyway, the agenda for affordable medication is a whole different thing than the "every-man-for-himself" agenda like those FDP-wankers want to do.
The latter is going on since years. Just look at all the privatization of hospitals, nursery homes,etc. It happened in a massive scale during the past 20,25 years. It didn't raise the standard of health care, nor lowered the costs for the patient, it only lowered the staff costs and their work conditions. The profit goes to those private companies.
Another example: It is an open secret that most people who take care of their elder relatives can only do so because they rely on illegal caretakers (who do a great job btw, and are the ones who keep the wheels spinning of a humane care for old people at home) Is anyone addressing this problem, that the so called "care insurance"(Pflegeversicherung) is nothing but a sad joke? No, Augen zu und durch. Pay more and more into any pocket but for the ones who need it the most and are the weakest members of society. Old and poor: a fatal combination...
The last "health reform": Several hundred insurance companies who all offer the same? And of course our premiums raised and also the subsides from taxes, who would have thought so?
No, man, our system needs a radical reform, not baby steps. This would mean
showing the middle finger to big pharma and all the other profiters from our health costs.
I am in favor of a tax based system, like in the Nordic countries. This is a thing where taxes do really make sense, the "tax ideal" so to say: invested into the common need. Better some money gets down the drain by some government screw-up, than feeding people who life off basic human needs. However this would directly be antagonistic to the very core of our corrupt banana republic. So: no hope for any change in Germany...
