That is typical of socialized systems of medicine. It is similar to France. It is also one reason why doctors in these systems will not go the extra mile for a patient unless they have clout, can bribe the doctors, or there is an implicit threat.
My son was born in a German hospital where I had private insurance. I had a big, giant room plus an adjoining room to myself while the German women were three to a room. Their rooms jam packed with visiting family, etc.
The nurses made it very clear I had "erste classe" (first class) accomodations.One actually told me it was unfair that I had such a large room to myself.
