The Independent Barents Observer

Today, October 7th is Russian President Vladimir Putin’s 71st birthday. That is in itself nothing to celebrate.

October 7th is also the birthday (2002) of the Barents Observer. We are 50 years younger than Putin, but substantially more fit for work.

On such occasions, we need your help to present Putin with a gift to remember, a present he dislikes more than most: Free and independent journalism. For readers inside Russia and globally.

Over the last 12 months, the Barents Observer has established a strong newsroom for Russian journalists in exile. In Kirkenes, northern Norway.

Denis Zagore came from Murmansk.
Georgii Chentemirov arrived from Petrozavodsk.
Liza Vereykina formerly worked for the BBC World News in Moscow.
Olesia Krivtsova outsmarted the FSB and fled Arkhangelsk.
All four left their country as repression against free and independent voices reached an unprecedented level.

The Barents Observer is crowdfunding our non-profit newsroom for Russian journalists in exile. We need your support more than ever.

Cross-border journalism from the north, in English and Russian languages, makes a difference. It is more important than ever to counter lies, propaganda and war. We promise to stay strong on our mission, fighting censorship, in times of unprecedented challenges.

Twice as expensive to go to the doctor - if the Social Democrats get to decide
Published 10/5/2023





The Swedes pay among the highest taxes in the world for care and social care. Nevertheless, we have to pay hundreds of rupiahs every time we visit the health center. the emergency room or end up in hospital. It is not enough, believe responsible social democratic regional politicians who now want to double all patient fees with the justification that it is "reasonable".

It is in the Västra Götaland region, where the Social Democrats rule, that the shock increases are announced. A regular visit to the health center, which today costs SEK 100, will cost SEK 200 after the increase.

It will be even worse for those who become acutely ill or injured - a visit to the emergency room will henceforth cost SEK 400. And if you are hospitalized, you must also pay more for each day you occupy a bed. The same for those who need rehabilitation after illness or injury.

The changes will come into effect from the turn of the year if the proposal is hammered through, and the ruling Social Democrats in the region are confident it will happen. It has already been approved by the Strategic Health Care Board.

S in the region: "Reasonable"
There they also wave away popular criticism of the increases. A doubling of all fees at the same time as the levels for high-cost protection are raised "is reasonable".

- It is reasonable to adjust, says the Chair of the Strategic Health and Medical Board, Janette Olsson (S), in a comment to the media.

According to Olsson, patient fees have been stagnant for too long, so doubling on a board is nothing strange, she believes.

Pensioners snubbed exemption from fees
The Social Democrats in the region are also backtracking on the promise of continued free visits for 65-year-olds that was previously announced. Free nurse visits for people over the age of 65 are now being abolished.

The Social Democrats, who governed the region also during the previous term, introduced the exemption from fees before the 2022 election. Many pensioners appreciated the reform and it is assumed to have contributed to many over 65s voting for the Social Democrats in the election. Now that the election is over, the reform is withdrawn.

Fee for chatting with care in app
When it comes to visits to hospital emergency rooms, Olsson justifies the discouraging fee increases by saying that they want to cut the queues and waiting times, which have increased as more and more people go there for non-urgent ailments that they should have gone to the health center with. At the same time, the emergency rooms are burdened more and more with gunshot, blast and knife injuries resulting from gang criminal settlements.

Anyone who uses an app or video chats or talks to a healthcare provider on the phone must also be forced to pay for themselves according to the social democratic proposal. If it is clubbed in the regional council and the party gets what it wants, it will be as expensive as a physical health care visit.

100 million more of the citizens' money
The Social Democrats expect that the increases will mean that they receive an additional 100 million in money from the residents each year. In Stockholm, where the Social Democrats also rule, a regular tax increase has been decided instead.

Other parties in the region have not yet officially taken a position on the increase package. It will finally be decided by the regional council at a meeting later this year.

What a strange world we live in
