Re: Roy Medvedev interview (on Putin)

I understand that Russian health care may be free, as Chris says, but my Russian
friends tell me that to get decent treatment you have to bribe people.  One possible
difference between the Soviet and the present system is that today a typical doctor
might have difficulty surviving on her official salary.  Lou's description of the TB
cases seems consistent with my informants.


I find the juxtaposition of different views on this subject interesting.  I also
appreciate that the tone of the discussion has changed.
