Compared to what the US have had today - even a "sovietzied" health care system is far preferable over "the right to deny health care" as it is today....

And the fact on it all, is that most russians of today, dearly want to get back to the old health care system, where you could get decent, public health care for free.... After the brake up of the old USSR, most of the public health care system broke with it - and even though it have been tried to be rebuild, it is far from what it was before... In the mid 1980s, the USSR had a first rate public health care system... Today in Russia, not so.. And many have expressed rather armament, that they wish they had something like the old system - or at least a decent public healtcare.. Specially as old illnesses are on the rise - Tuberculosis who was under control, and almost eradicated as a medical issue in USSR is now on the rise in Russia, and in many of the old Soviet unions, as public health care plummeted, and the whole system broke up.... And Tubercolosis is today, one of the illnesses that many fear could make a nasty comback... As millions have no imune against the illness...
