New rumours say Sipilä's ready to go down to 15 districts. No one gets what they want, nothing will be gained, and everyone will praise their great ability to compromise and work together.

Most of that stuff is already banned by the law forum moderator so don't worry. Having more laws will not limit their availability to people who didn't care about them in the first place.

What does it mean, in practice, if there is more or less of these SOTE areas?

If I get mauled by a bear, will they deliver me to some hospital 500km away instead of the one that is 1km away just because I live in SOTE area X so I must go to hospital X that is 500km away because that is my designated hospital?

Will the money all these SOTE things operate on be distributed so that all small and medium sized poo poo gets closed down and then there will be some 10 locations in total in the entire nation where these services will be provided?

The idea is that every region gives all your health services. So illnesses that are expensive to treat but hit only a microscopic part of the population are more expensive to treat if the area that has to arrange the service is small. Basically, not every little township, or not even every municipality, or not even every maakunta needs a doctor who specializes in rare illness X. If you have five sote regions, you may need ten of them, two each, if you have 18, you'd need eighteen of them. This is an abstraction but you get the idea.

The other point is economies of scale. If you have a large soteregion with large central hospitals, you can treat people needing hospital treatment more efficiently.

The other side of the coin is that a sote region distributes money and decides on health care, so it needs to have elected people running it. The more sote regions you have, the better people will be represented. However, the experts agree that 12 regions is more than enough to guarantee adequate representation. Kepu wants more, because the more sote regions there are, the larger percentage of sote council seats are in kepu control. Instead of just reforming the health services, they also want to create an additional layer of provincial government that local kepu members will be elected to in droves.

It's the same logic as municipal mergers, but writ large. The reason the kepu elite has put its foot down on Sipilä is because they want "jobs for the boys", as Yes, Minister put it.

Specialised medical care is resource intensive, expensive, and the treatment outcomes are better in bigger units. If you get mauled by a bear you should be glad if they haul you to a big hospital with competent doctors.

Yle ran the numbers and if there were five sote regions, three of them would be dominated by Kokoomus; if you had eighteen, nine of them would be dominated by Kepu (and one by RKP!). That's the whole issue in a nutshell. Kokoomus's original program called for five, so fifteen is three times that. That's why the 18 was a hard pill to swallow, when they'd already come halfway and agreed to 12.

Edit: Soini says there's no compromise proposal as leaked by Susanna Koski from Kokoomus, so we might still be able to see this poo poo run into the ground today.

Edit 2: I checked and currently there are 20 sairaanhoitopiiris, so basically the kepu proposal is not really a major difference to that at all. The only difference is the funding model, since right now the SHPs are funded by municipality joint organizations (HUS is a great example) so basically every SHP and its member municipalities duke it out on how the SHP is funded by them.

The math gets very difficult if you discount SDP, Greens and VAS. And you ought unless they're bitten by the stupid bug, because new elections will be excellent for them. They have zero incentive to hitch their wagons to Sipilä for the remainder of the term. Rhetorically speaking any claims of "well it's your patriotic duty to govern!" can be pretty handily disclaimed by pointing out that the PS voters have been stabbed in the back and kyllä kansa tietää and so on. You just turn Soini's appeal to the people against him.

Without SDP, Greens and VAS, and without kokoomus, the only remaining option is the comedy option of Kesk, Pers, KD and RKP (oh yeah, and RKP and Pers in the same coalition, that'll work) with 101 seats (not including the speaker).

That's not the sort of coalition that can do the things Sipilä wants to accomplish.

If there's no feasible combination of parties to create a new government, elections are the way out.

It's entirely possible for there still to be some other solution like Kesk, Pers, Kok disbanding and then immediately having new negotiations to create a "new" coalition but that seems like a waste of time if they can't agree on sote presently either.

A minority government is one of those comedy options but I really don't see it happening. Everyone is at least okay with new elections except perussuomalaiset, and everyone knows this, so they have no bargaining position whatsoever. Soini gambled on selling grandma, sitting out the term and either weathering the blows with something to show for his supporters by 2019, or just retiring straight from the back of the ministerial Audi. This gamble seems to be backfiring spectacularly.
