Sweden’s Minister of Social Affairs, Annika Strandhäll, told newspaper Aftonbladet that the country’s elderly and not refugees, are overloading the healthcare system.
The Swedish health care system is so overloaded that the care queues for surgery are so long that patients literally start to rot, Aftonbladet reported earlier.
Strandhäl is convinced this is not due to mass migration to Sweden. When readers of Aftonbladet claim that it is the acceptance of refugees that has made Swedish healthcare worse, the minister answers:
“That’s not true, that’s not true! We have a rapidly aging population in Sweden. Life expectancy increases by 3.5 hours a day and we have a larger number of chroniclers with life-long relationships with healthcare today than 30 years ago.”
According to Strandhäll, “the number of people aged 70 years and older will increase by 300,000 by 2025. That is the big problem, according to her. Refugee reception has nothing to do with it”.
Here is an Angry Foreigner. Worth watching as there are some sensible immigrants. This guy has received death threats. Imagine that.
I really hate the Swedish govt.
I would be happy to take in any Swedish refugees into my home. Any and all members of the Swedish Bikini Team first.

Golly. Would Death Panels help?
The fact that they paid into it for decades doesn’t seem to register with this dimwit.
Elderly overloading healthcare system...tell me again how socialism works out so well for everyone....
You Betcha!
Talk to informed American doctors who can attest to the fact that recent political attitudes in the U. S. reflect the same conclusion by government officials, thus, the approaching rationing of care under Democrat/Liberal/Progressive ideology, if that ideology is allowed to dominate in legislation.
“Golly. Would Death Panels help?”
The corpses of elderly (and other undesirable) Swedes could be recycled into Soylent Green food pellets for the immigrant masses.
their plan is, no doubt, to simply increase the death-rate. Gotta save face, and a few crowns
It’s the elderly who are running around setting cars on fire and attacking women?
Europe is lost.
I guess Swedes will just have to start dying younger to not overload the system for needy refugees. I’m sure the health care system can do something to help with that.
In the old days, families used to take care of their elderly. Then it became the government’s responsibility. Then the government decided that they did not that responsibility...
Just another Nazi
Ms. Mengele, ready to start snuffing out old people and inconvenient babies
According to Strandhäll, “the number of people aged 70 years and older will increase by 300,000 by 2025.
. . . and?All this was highly predictable, and predicted, decades ago. What did you do about it, other than encourage the electorate to put its head in the sand and believe that the government would take care of things???
Social medicine=die, geezer!
