My first Van zanten comic of the year for the economist magazine ESB, for an issue about health care. Here is my translation…
Man: Our healthcare system has to be changed! – Let everyone try a placebo for a while. Then we will see who is really sick. – In theme parks, we are waiting in line for hours for just a train ride. Why can’t we wait a few months for a hip operation? – Taximeters in ambulances! And an Ambulance-Uber app. – If doctors are just sales outlets for the pharmaceutical industry, legalize the medicine trade on the internet. – One is lucky and is never sick, the other has bad luck. Let’s introduce a gambling tax on health.
Woman: Is he mentally confused or a politician with a new party?
VZ: I can’t tell.
