노인은 증가하는데 병원은 사라진다" 한국 요양병원의 몰락, 그 진짜 이유

We are now in a super-aged society where the elderly population has surpassed 10 million, meaning one in five people is senior. By common sense, nursing hospitals should be overflowing with patients, but the reality is the exact opposite. Over the past five years, 218 nursing hospitals have quietly closed their doors, and by 2025, the number of closures was double that of new openings. This video delves into the true nature of this inverted market, where hospitals fail the more patients they accept. Based on official statistics and policy documents, we calmly examine the structure of the daily fixed-rate system, which results in deficits the more patients are admitted; the government's plan to reduce hospital beds by 25 percent by 2027; and why the bill ultimately falls back on our parents and ourselves. We have avoided letting emotions get the better of us, presenting only verified figures and facts confirmed by sources.
