2. Well, I don't understand some things

Like, why the Venezuelan president is being treated in a foreign country instead of receiving treatment on his own country ?
If things are so good there , why then I have to send money every time that one of my relatives get sick and need medical treatment because they can't afford to pay for medication or they need some special test.
"The population discovered what quality, humane and free healthcare is" the article say , but if you ask my father in-law, my-mother-in-law, relatives of two friends who died because they couldn't afford their cancer treatment, and so many people who cannot afford their medication, they would tell you otherwise. I am not so sure about what to believe anymore.
