(Unless of course, you're a high ranking CCP party member, that way you can enjoy all the goodies from all over the country for free, including free blood plasma from young people* to keep you feel good when you're old. *Caution: HIV maybe included due to technical difficulties).
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoTechnically we (and our employers) pay for it via payroll deductions from our paycheck (the one labeled social health insurance?
