It will be the end of the Democrats as a Party

In Slovenia, the Social Democrat government (Bolshevik traitors run by greed and capital) changed the drug system to something similar in Germany. If you don't buy generic drugs, you need to pay a little extra. People have already started protesting, as people react differently to other compounds in a drug, creating more problems then solving them.

The system in Slovenia is different. You have universal health care, a contribution taken from your pay check, which can and in certain extends will pay your entire bills and for a ridiculously small additional amount paid to a private insurance firm, you get everything paid. So for around 10 additional Euros, you can get anything.

Yet how do you or anyone explain how someone like my father, pay for his heart medications, which cost around 500 euros every 3 months, medications which keep him alive. And not only that, how would he pay for life important surgery, which has saved and prolonged his life for several times now? I know from personal experience what universal healthcare coupled with a cheap private insurance can do. It saves lives. Are there lines in our hospitals? Sure. Yet considering our GDP per capita, Slovenia is doing quite well in the HDI (#26) and Life expectancy, so I'm not trading our system, where it is the person who is important, for a system where status is imporant.
