I honestly think Russia is done. The only reason the Soviets were effective in WW2 was the American support from their rear lines, and American tolerance of Soviet invasion of Eastern Europe

Universal health care sux because only known treatments are paid for.. if you need a different treatment plan, you are on your own or traveling to another nation. In the US, the poor & ages get universal health care, the middle class pays for it, the upper middle & rich pay for new health care options that gets invented, and everyone who is brought to a hospital gets serviced, regardless of ability to pay. I pay a lot of money in premiums, which I seldom use, with family members paying 100% for other treatments that insurance does not cover. If I was in a universal health care system, new taxes would still go to the same system that I seldom use, and a lot of the treatments that we purchase would be outlawed… so many in the US are quite happy with not having universal health care.

@Executioner9000 - the US middle class gets charged $$$ to pay for free healthcare of the poor … the price for universal access I know more than one poor person who paid nothing to have their babies in hospitals… just never claimed a known father & had no job at the time.

@tonygray9174 - “2014 in the Crimea invasion” The US was running with a Russian sympathetic President, whose election was made possible by Russian propaganda supplying US communist party and the communists organizing paid protesters on the streets during election years. Putin pushed too hard, when Ukraine decided to disregard calls to negotiate at the hands of an inexperienced Vice President sent in to make him capitulate Zelenskyy shamed the US liberals into helping him

@olasek7972 - “military… healthcare… Russia has neither” The nation of Russia is a gas station masquerading as a nation. Russians get nothing, military, healthcare, representative government, living young men.

@NickSteffen - “Universal health care… similar to his Medicare works now” Medicare works now by the medical system charging the government below true cost, and recovering the cost through paying customers. “Bigger problem in the US is… the price” The price to the public is partially driven by the medical industry subsidizing the poor & elderly with the high prices to the Middle Class. If Universal Health Care is based upon Medicare or Medicaid, the costs will rise for them all. I would prefer a catastrophic health care option for all Americans, paid by an private insurance, subsidized by the Federal Government, keeping everything else private. If people fall behind on their catastrophic coverage, they can catch up on their payments before benefit usage. This is similar to what is done in South Korea.

@chasmarischen4459 - “But they will send you the bills” - because every person owes others for services rendered. Many Americans historically don’t believe in slavery, many Americans historically do. A worker is worth his wages.

@NickSteffen - “charge Medicare below list price… still making a profit” Ummm… no… not necessarily. Many health care providers provide services to Medicare recipients where they do not make a profit, then they admit a large enough number of other customers to make up the difference. There are a some unscrupulous providers, looking to scam the system, by charging things they did not do, in order to make up the difference. I have family members where they noticed this, and stopped using those doctors. Many doctors stop working, because the government Medicare & Medicaid cuts are too great & they just can’t make the ends meet. We lost older doctors like this, who were Frank with us about why they left the profession. We watched younger doctors decide to go into medical real estate types of business, so they could pay back their medical schooling loans. We occasionally go to other doctors, who only take cash, because they don’t want to deal with the headaches of Medicare, Medicaid, and Health Insurance, with all of their regulations… they give a rock bottom price, can make ends meet, and take care of our problems & problems from friends. Doctors are people, too. Hospitals are often just facility owners with doctors being contractors. The older the facility, the higher the cost. The closer to urban centers, the higher the taxes. I just watched another hospital start closing, on the news, tonight. The reality of making ends meet applies to everyone,
