This makes the American government more suited for creating a medical care system then China. Socialism has nothing to do with it. (In fact, economically, China is much more a capitalist state then most).
WHAAAAAT? China has a rigidly controlled socialist/communist government. The only glimmers of capitalism are in Hong Kong and in some market places on the mainland. Hong Kongs system already existed under the Brits and when China took over it hated to change such a lucrative source of taxation.


Thus we play the fools with the time, and the spirits of the wise sit in the clouds and mock us.
