Strange, isn't it? Suddenly, medical privatization is popping up again... Jaemyung and Minseok...
The fact that claims such as "medical privatization began with the Participatory Government" and "Rhyu Si-min is the originator of medical privatization" are resurfacing today
cannot be viewed merely as a debate over policy history.
In a phase where the Lee Jae-myung administration's approval ratings are falling and the People Power Party is showing signs of recovery,
there is sufficient incentive to use this as a political frame to weaken the policy legitimacy of the Democratic Party and the progressive camp.
Of course, it is true that the Participatory Government pursued medical industrialization and deregulation.
However, grouping medical industrialization, for-profit hospitals, and the privatization of health insurance into a single concept and labeling it the "originator of privatization" erases the complexity of policy history.
In particular, it is necessary to pay attention to the way this issue is being brought up again now.
If the purpose were to calmly evaluate the policies of the Participatory Government, one would also have to look at
which policies were expanded under the Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye administrations, and what was brought back into the public insurance sector under the Moon Jae-in administration.
However, the moment you single out Rhyu Si-min and the Participatory Government to brand them as the "originators," it becomes closer to a political frame than a policy analysis.
Summoning the past of the opposing camp when an administration's approval ratings are shaken is an old political tactic.
The current "Participatory Government medical privatization origin theory" also needs to be read in that context.
However, to criticize that political intention, one must not deny the medical industrialization policies that the Participatory Government actually pursued.
After acknowledging the facts, one must distinguish how far those facts actually go and explain what Myung-bak and that birdbrain did..
How President Moon Jae-in reversed it..
The situation created by Jaemyung and Minseok, who made us have to explain all this..
I hate Jaemyung and Minseok..
