Chavez Don't Want To Talk About Hospitals

[Karl Marx's Camel]

Hospitals lack essential things like medicine. People have to buy medicine, when it is supposed to be free.

And when the journalist confront Chavez about this, Chavez answers like a true politician, cleverly avoids teh question and the guards pull the journalist away.

Thoughts? What do you think?

[Janus]

Well, Chavez has promised a lot of things that he has never really delivered. A lot of it is just rhetoric.

[Andy Bowden]

Chavez is one man, with a lot of faults. His ideology is still social-democracy with some rhetoric about imperialism now and again.

What matters is the grassroots Bolivarian revolution - they're who we should be supporting.

Is general healthcare free?

[Janus]

I've heard that there are general health missions that provide free medical treatment but they're run down and not very large despite all of Chavez's talk.
