No electricity, no antibiotics, no beds, no soap: A devastating look inside Venezuela's crisis-hit hospitals where 7 babies die a day, bleeding patients lie strewn on the floor, and doctors try to operate without tools

• President Nicolas Maduro claims Venezuela has the best healthcare in the world after Cuba
• But death rates are soaring and hospitals are filthy as supplies run low and electricity is shut off
• The nation is in economic crisis after price of oil - their main monetary reserve - plummeted
• Images taken by the New York Times show patients lying on the floor covered in blood and babies dying

The impact of Venezuela's economic collapse on its people is almost impossible to put into words.But these images inside calamity-hit hospitals go some way to communicating the devastation.Since oil prices plummeted, all aspects of everyday life - electricity, food, paper - have been rationed.Critically, medical centers are in crisis. Without soap, antibiotics, power, gloves and x-rays, surgeons are struggling to keep patients alive.

Pictures taken by New York Times photographer Meridith Kohut offer a glimpse inside some of the most notorious centers - while President Nicolas Maduro claims the socialist nation has the best healthcare in the world.

Bravo left wingers. Bravo!!!! Yeah, that Hugo Chavez sure made things great there. Let me tell you. So much better there than here.



Watch that.

Left wingers folks. Left wingers. They still think the bathroom thing is a real problem. No, they actually have no clue they are used as pawns by their socialists in order to divide and conquer this nation. This nation that they ALL think is a disaster cause of the free market.

That is right folks.

Just watch it.

"No electricity, no antibiotics, no beds, no soap: A devastating look inside Venezuela's socialism."

And a devastatingly pointless thread premise that fails as a preach to the choir fallacy.

No one of significance or merit advocates for ‘socialism.’

And yet Bernie advocates a socialist system for us.

I am a capitalist that believes that it needs to be regulated for it has downsides too. You just look foolish comparing social democracy's to what is going on in Venezuela that is more or less ran by a thug that favors one people over all the rest. I could post a dozen countries in Europe and Asia that are hybrid systems that are doing very well.

A few are even more wealthier per capital then America.

I believe in a private sector! I post excitingly all the time about the greatest apple, microsoft or spacex break throughs. I love the private sector! I like what walmart and even what Trump has been able to do as we're a wealthier country because of it. That doesn't mean that I and the workers shouldn't be able to form unions and have a voice. Of course, the op would like to bring back slavery and make them be nothing better then surfs. Is that what you want me to agree too to make you fucking happy? idiot???

I fucking hate what is going on in Venezuela and believe it is bad economics to destroy your private sector, but I also believe it is unmoral to allow it to do what ever the fuck it wants to the American people. Also some things like roads, police and science investments that benefit our society shouldn't be profit driven! This been around for about 9,000 years before Karl fucking Marx was even born!

There's a big difference between what most of western europe does and Venezuela does. I strongly oppose the dictator in Venezuela! But, Did you know that western europe is a hyrbid system that has far less wealth gap then America, higher gdp per capita within a handful of nations and better quality of living???

Wow, you are a lot dumber than I thought. Even dumber is the moron that agreed with you.

You are all such losers. Unreal losers.

Let the Hollyweirdos bail out what's left of Hugo's shithole. And perhaps his daughter might want to kick in some of the $3-4 billion she's somehow amassed to help her fellow citizens.

You don't seem to know much about Europe and the frailty of many European economies. Look more closely and you may be surprised:

"Concern has been mounting in the International Monetary Fund and among some EU officials that lax enforcement by Mr Juncker has allowed Italian and Portuguese debt to rise to levels that may become unsustainable. Both countries’ national debt is now near 130 per cent of economic output — the same level Greece had at the outset of the crisis in 2009."

Isn't that about the same ration one encounters when buying a home...

... seems to me it'll take `em 30 years to pay it off.

Electricity, antibiotics, beds........Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway have all those things

Maybe because they built their economy on more than just oil

The left wing does it all the time. The want government to control everything. They ignore all the evidence that it's a stupid idea but it's like trying to turn a Muslim into a Jew.

Here we go. The Nordic countries again. They are so freaking predictable.

The freaking morons have no clue. They even deny they are socialists and then defend socialism incessantly.

They then bring up the Nordic countries as If they understand a thing.

I hate them.

Your heartfelt concern for the people of Venezuela is overwhelming. I am assuming you are doing all you can to help them in their plight.
