    Another example are the birth giving refugees.

    Admittedly I don’t watch the news, but I’ve never heard of this. When I’ve heard about problems in birth care (or health care in general, really), it’s mainly the effects of cutting funding: Shutdowns of clinics in rural parts, especially in the north, leading to long distances to care; Not enough beds for the demand; Trouble with finding staff for the summer. It sounds short-sighted to me to blame refugees for a problem that’s been brewing for decades.

      My bad, the phrasing was weird. I have changed the phrasing now. Thanks! I meant to liken people that go abroad to deliver their babies to refugees, not to blame the shortcomings of the Swedish health care system on actual refugees. The blame lies solely on the ruling class.
