Italian term

non trova intermediazione

Italian to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
From a journal article entitled "Dati ISTAT, cresce la spesa sanitaria a carico delle famiglie senza controlli sull'appropriatezza":

"Oggi la spesa privata non trova intermediazione, questo non risponde ai parametri di serietà e correttezza"

I just cannot get the meaning of "non trova intermediazione".

Thanks in advance!

James (Jim) Davis Mar 30, 2023:
Regulated I believe the meaning is to be found in the labyrinth of the private-public relationships in the Italian health system with the "convenzionati" private health providers contracted by the state, where the government acts as an intermediary laying down regulations to decideg who gets treatment and who doesn't as well as the cost. In other words it is regulated ("intorno al 4-5%") while where the Fondo sanitario nazionale is concerned the government decides "intermediates" or regulates everything. After all, a Google on "Health service intermediation" in quotes gets only two hits and would leave most readers guessing.
Claire Knell (asker) Mar 29, 2023:
Another example... "C'è da un lato il Fondo sanitario nazionale che pesa oggi intorno ai 127 miliardi di euro, e che ovviamente è intermediato dalla presenza dello Stato nell'erogazione delle prestazioni sanitarie; dall'altro c'è una spesa privata che oggi pesa intorno a 40-45 miliardi, ma qualcuno dice anche di più, che trova intermediazione per una misura irrilevante, intorno al 4-5%.

is unmediated

I think this is what the phrase means. There is no mechanism or oversight controlling consumer health costs.
Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : We don't know what it says before this, and therefore whether the reader will understand "unmediated", but this is the meaning. It certainly works in Claire's second example.
