Imagine for a moment that the above news would not have happened. What kind of events would be in the public eye? Any others that would provoke a reaction from society. The mass consciousness of citizens is «tied» to events, and for the media this is a kind of ordinary business.

The opinion that the state provides the population with “free” services is erroneous. Free services simply do not exist. Any service has a certain price, it is another matter who pays for it — the consumer or the state. If the consumer, then for him this service is paid, and if the state, then for the consumer it becomes «free», since it was purchased with budget funds. However, it should be noted that the budget itself is formed at the expense of tax and non-tax revenues, the payer of which is ultimately a citizen who receives this «free» service. When paid services are created, healthy competition will appear on the medical services market, which will force medical institutions to improve the quality of services and fight for the best price, provided that there are no administrative and corruption barriers. Another question is how will this service market be regulated? What should be the rate of return for the provision of these services? What indulgences are provided in this case for taxpayers — after all, if on the one hand it is added, on the other hand it should decrease?
