1) we know from examples like East/West Germany that communists live at about 20% of capitalist standards of living,
2) recent survey of routine appendectomy surgery is socialist CA showed range of $5k to $55k,
3) CBS evening news this week had story about how shopping for drugs reduced price from $700 to $42 for one prescription,
4) neighbor recently complained to Dr. about shortness of breath while playing ice hockey. $11,000 in tests later one cardiologist said borderline pulmonary hypertension, another said not really, ignore it and enjoy hockey. Where's IBM's Watson? Veterinarian said very similar tests for animals on very similar machines would cost $850.
