So it's the same thing everywhere, that we just don't
have enough slack in the system, supposedly, to do the reforms in the first place.
Yeah, this is one that is kind of near universal.
I mean, it's kind of the outcome of the structure of government in Western democracies, which is that most reforms are not made in a way such that they survive progressive governments.
And it's funny because I was actually discussing this with a friend of both of ours, and I believe someone who's been on your podcast a few times, Eric Lonergan, last week.
And so we were talking about Andy Burnham and the UK reforms, and we were quite literally talking about what those mechanisms would be that could survive.
I mean, I don't know.
Are we going to get another 10 prime ministers in the UK in the next year?
But basically... Who knows?
Right.
Yeah.
Right.
I mean, one would assume that any health reform in any Western country or developed country is going to streamline it, reduce costs and increase capacity.
So in whatever way, the specific mechanisms of delivering that in Ireland, it didn't happen.
And we've seen multiple failures since of not only increasing, but like ballooning costs of health care to the state against a backdrop of much, much worse outcomes year on year.
So nil-pois for slainte aux carats, unfortunately.
Malheureusement, it did not happen.
It's gone, it's dead, it's buried.
David McWilliams can't even remember what the hell it was.
Well, many things, because you're now in the position of needing to reform the system that cannot reform the many things that it cannot see or do or whatever.
