There wasnt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy conclusion was that my government had to hand in our note of resignation,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/valtioneuvosto\/status\/1103943525211680768\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">he added<\/a>. \u201cI take my responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finland has a decentralized system of health and social welfare programs, where much of the administration is left to local municipalities. This arrangement has led to widespread geographic variation when it comes to quality and access to health care services.<\/p>\n<p>The reform was meant to address these inequalities and reduce the growing cost of the countrys health care system, which has come under increasing stress from an ageing population. It included centralization of the administration at a regional level.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Sipil\u00e4 spoke to POLITICO about the \u201cvery difficult\u201d social and health care changes, calling them the countrys \u201cbiggest reform since the Second World War.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe publicity and discussion and debate during the process we have had in Finland, it has been painful, and it shows that people are afraid of change,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>There has been general agreement among political parties of the need to reform the system. However, the parties differ when it comes to the finer details, which has led to the current impasse.<\/p>\n<p>Sipil\u00e4s Center Party had agreed to some reforms pushed for by the center-right National Coalition Party that would allow for more privatization of health care services, but this move was fiercely opposed by the left-leaning and Green parties,  Laura Kalliomaa-Puha, a professor of social welfare law at Tampere University, said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been politically extremely difficult,\u201d Kalliomaa-Puha said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/finlands-government-collapses-over-failed-health-care-reform\/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&amp;utm_medium=RSS&amp;utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Read More<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n[contf]<br \/>\n[contfnew]<br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRMd3Tz2gX9xSa6CJyaOj2dokBVcrdaT4yY3R3RI7YmL18vCLZZ\"\/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/&gt;Politico&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/h5&gt;_&lt;\/p&gt;[contfnewc]_[contfnewc]_&lt;\/body&gt;&lt;\/html&gt;\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finlands Prime Minister Juha Sipil\u00e4 resigned Friday morning, one month ahead of an election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe s..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":116112,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-116111","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
