The Soviet system and today’s Russian system treat people with cancer, even the elderly.
“The Soviet system and today’s Russian system treat people with cancer, even the elderly.”
Oh, I agree, they had, and the Russians have, a pretty good health care system - but my point was, with the life expectancy as it was, they could afford to do that, with very few people actually getting “old”!
An idea that I though was very good in the Eastern Bloc, was the idea of an entire hospital dedicated to one single type of illness or type of surgery. Look at it this way, regardless of what the AMA thinks, some doctors are better than others. But if you do something a lot, eventually you will get fairly good at it.
