Hm, I wonder if that is due to socialism in the former Soviet Union. This is what I'm talking about: http://mises.org/story/3650 http://mises.org/story/3650 As for my medical experiences - when I was in public clinics, I had to frequently bribe doctors for service and pay for my own drugs, anaesthesic, etc. Furthermore, the subway is usually full of posters asking for donations for people who have life threatening illnesses that the system won't help cure. Reply to child poster: I meant that the problems with Soviet health care were caused by the fact that the Soviet Union itself sucked, not because of something inherent in socialism.
