Poor Chinese Man Amputates Own Leg

[MrPrezident]

Debate over health care policies in Canada and the US can become shrill at times. These two recent articles from BBC somehow put things into perspective, showing what happens when you don't have all the rules and laws and legitimate democratic debate over policies. Market forces left to run wild create real victims.

One would think that the PRC as an official Communist one party state would have universal state health care.

Honk Kong and Macao has universal health care

Unfortunately, things are not so simple in China. 250,000 Chinese people without health care

That is one tough guy.
I have a lot of admiration for him, did what had to be done in tough circumstances.

The PRC is anything but communist, despite the name.
