Socialist health care

The Soviet Union no longer exists, and for that we can all be thankful. One of the main reasons I'm thankful -- besides the obvious -- is that if it was still around we'd be subjected to leftist ninnies interjecting into every discussion about the country that "at least they all have jobs" or "at least they all have a place to live" or "at least they all have free health care."

Seriously. You can imagine the conversations yourself:

Normal person: "Can you imagine waiting in line for three hours to get a loaf of bread?"
Twit: "Yeah, but at least everyone has a job."

Normal person: "It must be hellish living in a country where even your own neighbors may be spying on you for the secret police."
Commie apologist: "Yeah, but at least they all have a place to live."

Normal person: "Did you know that the body of the East German Trabant car is actually made out of compressed cardboard?"
Normal person 2: "Wow, that sucks."
Marxist college student: "Yeah, but at least they have free health care."

Now, I was a kid when the Soviet Union collapsed, so I didn't have to experience too much of this. However I still encounter from time to time -- especially in the DC area -- people who are willing to make excuses for Cuba. Yeah, sure, there is widespread political oppression -- but at least they have free health care! That's the mantra of every Cuba/commie apologist -- at least they have free health care. Yeah, well, read this commie lovers. Then for all of you thinking about getting a second home in Havana, check this out.
