Centralisation always failsby Nick Hudson South Africans will start hearing about Value-Based Medicine. Pay attention when you do. This is the next step in the implementation of inferior centralised medicine, brought to you by the same people who pushed lockdowns and vaccine mandates. It's supposedly based on rational cost-benefit analysis. But remember that lockdowns and vaccine mandates both failed massively on any sensible cost-benefit analysis, so you need to read this as putting lipstick on a pig. The pig is socialist, centralized medicine. Most of the country's hospital doctors have already been introduced to the concept. Many are shrugging, and taking the view that this is simply another iteration of changes in the way they are paid by medical aids, and nothing to be alarmed about. But this is the same apathy that caused them to go along to get along when the depravities of the Covid policy response came their way. They now need to demonstrate some spine and get organised against this. Tag lines such as "a bad system is better than a good specialist" will accompany this offence against independence and the sanctity of the doctor-patient relationship. Such codswallop is fashionable among the fools who believe that good clinical medicine can be implemented by algorithmic protocols dusted with the woo-woo of "AI".
