How does the current healthcare financing system contribute to the decline in ICU bed capacity?

This underfunding directly impacts pandemic preparedness. The planned new national organization for infectious disease control will be less effective due to budget cuts that prevent the hiring of necessary personnel to develop crisis plans. Furthermore, the absence of a robust information system to predict outbreaks, as seen in Denmark's effective pandemic response, severely limits anticipatory measures.
