I used Russia's healthcare system when I worked there briefly. Excellent, and that was 20 years ago. It's also free at the point of service for Russian nationals. Have never had to use America's healthcare so I can't compare.

Currently Russia is building new hospitals all across the Federation, including cancer treatment facilities, some of them specifically for children. They're spending big sums of money to improve the lives of people through the territory with infrastructure investment (roads, rail, schools, clinics, day-care etc.) and Putin (like or loathe him) often meets with the people of the various regions to hear their concerns, get their inputs, and acts upon it. Imagine, a government that listens!

People in the West just really have to wake up from the bs garbage that have been fed for many years! :( ''they are the most free nations in the world" and 'the most informed" and on....

American society has sadly developed the ethos that the almighty dollar reigns supreme, so our corporations prioritize profit over people and planet at every opportunity. I wonder how many more expats the U.S. will have to lose to other (more free) countries before our government realizes its overreach has become untenable and unsustainable.

Russia and China also have wireless radiation and electromagnetic frequency emission standards that are 1000 times more protective than in the U.S. That also accounts for their better health.

Vaccination of children is not mandatory in the UK. There are no penalties for sending an unvaccinated child to nursery school or any other school.

The US is trapped in a solipsistic bubble of self-congratulatory propaganda.

Vaccines offered through the national immunisation programme in the UK are not mandatory.

Vaccinations are also not currently mandatory in the UK during a pandemic.

The Government took steps in 2021 to make vaccination against Covid-19 a pre-requisite for working in health and social care in England, with limited exemptions.

These regulations, however, are set to be revoked, subject to parliamentary approval.....

Medical and ethical opinion is divided on immunisation policies that involve some degree of coercion.

Some countries, such as Italy and France, have mandatory vaccination policies in place.

In response to falling vaccination rates, some have extended existing mandatory vaccination programmes, or introduced them for the first time, such as in Germany......

The present Medicare system as it is practiced is inferior in comparison to basic care in the commie nations of the 1960s. Doctors in the US presently routinely deny or delay care, something that was not allowed for doctors in commie land. The result is already shortening life expectancy.
