Adentro Barrio Adentro: An American Medical Student in Venezuela
http://upsidedownworld.org/main/content/view/1615/1/
I'm not excerpting the article. It is rather mundane. But I posted it because it mentions the hostility of the U.S. government towards Hugo Chavez. As you read it, think about what would happen to Obama if he tried to introduce a real national health care plan in the U.S.
He will probably do something, but it will have to be something that denies basic health care to the poor, because unless basic needs are denied to the poor, the rich can't feel smug and superior about being rich. Attempting to interfere with corporate profits is defined as terrorism in the U.S., and an effective national health care system would have to interfere with corporate profits. A predatory capitalist health care system is always more profitable than a socialized system, because when those without money die for lack of access to health care, those with money are terrorized into paying more for health care. It is only by deliberately reducing the supply, that market prices can be driven up.
