Doctors Say Venezuela's Health Care in Collapse
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/doctors-venezuelas-health-care-collapse-20798932
------------------
Driving the crisis in health care are the same forces that have left Venezuelans scrambling to find toilet paper, milk and automobile parts. Economists blame government mismanagement and currency controls set by the late President Hugo Chavez for inflation pushing 50 percent annually. The government controls the dollars needed to buy medical supplies and has simply not made enough available.
Doctors not allied with the government say many patients began dying from easily treatable illnesses when Venezuela's downward economic slide accelerated after Chavez's death from cancer in March. Doctors say it's impossible to know how many have died, and the government doesn't keep such numbers, just as it hasn't published health statistics since 2010.
Almost everything needed to mend and heal is in critically short supply: needles, syringes and paraffin used in biopsies to diagnose cancer; drugs to treat it; operating room equipment; X-ray film and imaging paper; blood and the reagents needed so it can be used for transfusions.
Last month, the government suspended organ donations and transplants. At least 70 percent of radiotherapy machines, precisely what Gonzalez will need once her tumor is removed, are now inoperable in a country with 19,000 cancer patients — meaning fewer than 5,000 can be treated, said Dr. Douglas Natera, president of the Venezuelan Medical Federation.

4. Reminds me of communist Romania 1989.
Shortage after shortage, even though the country had huge amounts of precious metals and oil it could export.
I tiny protest about the eviction of a pastor grew into huge protests against the regime because people were simply fed up with it. And the regime miscalculated: They thought they could calm the unrest with money.
I have the feeling that Maduro will loose the good-will of the venezulean people in a way that money and supplies can't mend.

5. I think there will be some sort of autocoup in the near future
Another chavista will take power. They will not willingly allow a non-chavista to become president.

7. Maduro a scape-goat?
I don't remember: Wasn't he handpicked by Santa Chavez as his successor?

9. yes, of course. Someone who Cuba can easily control.
However, if the situation worsens much, and it looks bad, Maduro may "resign". Diosdado Cabello who heads the parliament is likely to take over. He is a military guy like Chavez who also participated with Chavez in the 92 coup.

11. He clearly can't rule competently from the grave

12. They are his policies in place and Maduro will not deviate from them
Maduro will not undo any of Chavez's policies and programs no matter how detrimental. Calling himself the son of Chavez and wearing a track suit, he still pretends that he is channeling Chavez. No matter the consequences of those horrible polices as this article demonstrates.

Coming to a community organized country near you soon. The entire USA is going to be like the southside of Chicago after King Barky the Incompetent is done.

I was wondering how long it would take a DUmmie to post this nugget from Drudge's site.

No, it has just became more clear to the world since he died how his failing policies were ****ing everything up.

Can't believe they are backing of Venezuela now. Thought it was the greatest ****ing thing since sliced bread a couple years ago?

Yeah.
It's the difference between night and day, the Venezuela campfires of yore, and the current ones.
But surely there's at least one Yugo apologist left on Skins's island.

There are a bunch of them. Judi Lynn is the biggest Venezwhora, but she picks her battles. When she's losing, she tells people they need to learn about the area first and report back.
Meanwhile I assume she lives in the US in a palace somewhere.

If they can back off one crazed socialist, why can't they see the 0 for what he is?

Honestly? Because they are so short sighted and determined to get their way. They really can't see past a few days. This is why the are horrible when it comes to economics.

The Barry Press Conference with DUmmie logic.
Barry: …and now I’ll take questions. Fred from CKN news, you go first.
Fred: Thanks Mr. President. I’d like to know if you’re willing to take responsibility for the economy being in the crapper?
Barry: That’s a good question Fred. I can say without any hesitation that I am not at fault.
Fred: But Mr. President…
Barry: Look Fred, let me…uh…give you some proof. First let me ask you a question. Are you responsible for the economy being in the crapper?
Fred: Well, no. I just report the news, but…
Barry: Okay. Good. So it’s not your fault. Okay, let’s see…Dave with TRK Reports, are you responsible for the economy being in the crapper?
Dave with TRK Reposts: …What? No. No. I just take political photos.
Barry: Good. Now let’s look at this… Fred isn’t responsible for the economy being in the crapper, and Dave isn’t responsible for the economy being in the crapper so it must be somebody else’s fault. If it’s somebody else’s fault there’s no way it can be my fault. Besides I’m too busy playing golf.
The DU collective: OMG! He’s right! If it’s somebody else’s fault it can’t be his. It must be Shrub’s fault!

Hmmm, reminds me of the Soviet Union. When the truth finally came out they were an empty shell. The wizard's Green Curtain of Oz fell, and everything was exposed.
Start with the OP and replace "Venezuela" with "Amerika". Then replace "Chavez" with "Obama". That should do it!

Well it reminds me of every commie/fascist/socialist/progressive/democrat experiment ever tried. As to the replacements---SPOT ON.
Smart people will start hoarding toilet paper like gold....because it will be.
We are over the cliff. I think the question now is will there be tens of millions of deaths at the end of this horrific experiment in collectivism or just millions? I'm betting tens.

Wow. Where's JudiLyn when you need her?
