Bernie Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez and their ilk like to praise socialist health care. Exactly one month ago (link) I wrote that and that Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez, and their ilk describe health care in Denmark and Sweden as ideal, but they say nothing at all about health care in Venezuela, which is very socialist.
This article at a public media website describes how bad health care is in Venezuela. For example: Patients who go to the hospital need to bring their own food and medical supplies like syringes and scalpels, as well as their own soap and water. Cases of measles, diphtheria, malaria, maternal mortality, infant mortality, tuberculosis, HIV infections, and AIDS-related death have all increased sharply.
What the article entirely omits saying is that this is socialist health care. Being the article was written for a member station of NPR (National Public Radio), I am not at all surprised.
Hat tip to Gus Van Horn (link).
