Hospital Overcrowding

Hospital Overcrowding is a situation where a nation's healthcare system is too small to keep up with the demands of the population, upsetting Parents and Retirees who are hit hardest by the lack of medical access.

Overcrowding in hospitals is often caused by a mix of a poorly funded State Health Service, high rates of Immigration and/or Violent Crime, and long Lifespans. Raising the level of health service funding is the easiest and best way of fixing the situation, but reducing immigration and violent crime will also help the system by reducing the number of people requiring medical attention.
