In the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic all health care was free for everybody! Oh, what a paradise .well, until you actually experienced the workers paradise, as the communists proudly called it, in real life.
...
Well, you get what you pay for, right? Right!
What do you expect from a dentist on a salary set by the states pay scales? How about a really ugly crown and no anesthetics (Novocain was in short supply, distributed by the state to dentists by a system of rations on monthly a basis); well, a small envelope with big money casually left at the receptionists desk, would make miracles.
What do you expect from a doctor on a states salary? Dont you worry, you always got your aspirin!
...
It still was not as bad as in, say, Cuba, where patients have to bring their own sheets to the hospital. However, if you had to stay in the hospital for a prolonged period of time, it was customary to drop every once in a while an envelope with some money into the large pocket on the nurses apron. That way you would make sure that your sheets were changed on a regular basis, the cup of tea would be on your night stand without a long waiting period.
There were actually two health care systems. One for the ordinary mortals, one for the elites like well positioned communists and top athletes.
...
Oh, by the way: After my arrival in America, the American dentists re-did virtually all the dental work that we brought with us inside our mouths. Some dentist just could not believe what they found in my and my wifes and mouths. They threw it all in the garbage.
