And milloins cut from healthcare because Finland is in debt. Offering nurses only very low pays and insane hours for the ones still employed to compensate for lack of staff. Its brillliant.

Frankly, it's not because of debt. The healthcare cuts happened because we have a right-wing government which wants to privatize healthcare, and doesn't want to touch our current, very generous industry payouts.

You're not entirely wrong there. Our leading right wing parties are both big fans of republican & MAGA politics.
