Apparently, Russia is going in the opposite direction. Public hospitals are being ordered to transition to private hospitals. The Soviet Union was a prime example of the failure of socialized medicine and their people know this.
Putin may be a dictator, but he believes in free markets much more than our detestable president. Putin appears to be acting in his nation’s best interest and it must at least be argued that Putin is a Russian nationalist. Zero is clearly not. Zero is an international Leftist and clearly anti-American. Such a cruel paradox.
