no communism here

I went to Walgreens to pick up medicine for my elderly parents.
I waited in line... how long? don't know precisely,
but at Walgreens about 90 per cent of the time I do....
The medicines were not ready...
but if I wanted to wait an hour...


Funny! I remember that during Communism people were always waiting in lines...
Ah, but with Communism health care was universal
And even today in Slovakia, a post-socialist (former Communist) country, medicines are
cheaper.
And when I lived there I never had the kind of problem I have at Walgreens--e.g., waiting in line to find out the medicine which was supposed to be ready is not.... No, I had no such problems...

I believe that the modern Slovak health care system is very similar to that which they had under communism...
