    For some reason he is still immensely popular. I never got it. He fucked up the German Healthcare System in the first place, and was in the board of one of the shittiest for profit operators for years. (Which also famously tried to circumvent the minimum wage in Germany)

      I don’t get it as well.

      He is the one who actually is responsible for the fucking DRG fuckup. Literally his main work.

      Unlike what he claimed in various talk shows he is not a real doctor. He did study medicine but did not start his junior residency (AIP) and never has worked as a doctor in his life - he was already a member of parliament when the requirement for people to do the AIP year was waived - one of the main reason being him…(That is unrelated to the general change in training, different rules). That doesn’t count for me.

      And he did a full 180° on literally everything he promised and demanded once he was in office,in terms of financing, COVID, everything.
