Kind of reminds me of my brief eye-opening trip to socialist Cuba in '93.
It is well known throughout the world of Cuba boasting it's free healthcare and how it has made some accomplishments. Their entire medical and educational system really is absolutely free and "equitable"--all gov't subsidized. The gov't would fly your destitute ass to mother Russia for a brain op (well, maybe just the gov't connected ones really).
Now, read carefully here.
The socialist Cuban gov't. is so inept and destructive that it has never, ever really been able to provide enough FOOD to it's herd. These days a majority of the population is malnourished at varying stages.
Are the 'workers' grateful and proud of their free medical/educational system?
Sure, in their own sarcastic, twisted way.
They tell me their free medical is good for when euthanasia is needed to end the pain and complications from years-long severe malnutrition.
So what's it all about?
Gov't is sure to provide "free" healthcare to all but not concerned much for feeding them?
All the free health and education is really a big media/PR coup that has garnered prestige throughout Latin America. Socialists have always been quite obsessed with this. Kind of like the image of the Soviet/Iron curtain's perfectly trained and beautiful pampered Olympic athletes on the world stage while the rest (real population) of their countrymen rot in misery and despair with little to eat.
It's true.
Been there.
Seen it.
Socialism (in theory and in practice) makes me sick.
I don't care in what form it rears its ugly head, it must be stomped on like a filthy cockroach.
Never been to Canaduck, be don't doubt the sad state of its healthcare. Shouldn't be surprised. They take after and are (always were) good amigos with Cuba--at the expense of its loyal ally, the USA.
