"Everyone has the right to health protection and care. The state guarantees this right:

-- by providing free medical and hospital care by means of the installations of the rural medical service network, polyclinics, hospitals, preventative and specialized treatment centers;

-- by promoting the health publicity campaigns, health education, regular medical examinations, general vaccination and other measures to prevent the outbreak of disease. All the population cooperates in these activities and plans through the social and mass organizations."

There are certainly reasons to be skeptical about a 25-year-old running for office, and so I want you to feel sure that I take the campaign seriously.

How Progressives and Liberals Can Hand the Nation’s Public Health Care System Over to the Private Insurance Industry

1) Never mention that private insurers have motive and duty to charge as much money as possible, indefinitely, and to deliver the least level of services as possible, indefinitely.

To various legislators and heath activist groups. and so forth.
