It amazes me how many in the USA looked upon the types of governments imposed upon various countries by the USSR as utopian societies, the socialist dream, the true dictatorship of the proletariat. Originally Posted by Jackie S

Are you trying to argue that West Germany's healthcare was better than East Germany's?

Which system is more efficient and provides better care now...Germany's or Americas?


You need to tell Putin we won the Cold War and he needs to quit trying to win it back by compromising Trump!

Now you're just playing stupid because you don't want to admit you can't retain anything you read.

Are you wandering off in the weeds again?

Did you look up 1989 per capita income in East Germany v. West Germany? What does it tell you about which economic system delivers the goods and which one can't? Originally Posted by WTF

Twenty five years on, economists estimated the total tab for German reunification at 2 trillion euros!

Question for the great oracle of knowledge WTF...

Did that 2 trillion flow from west to east or east to west?

In other words, was the cost of reunification borne by taxpayers in West Germany? Or by those living in the socialist paradise formerly known as the Deutsche Demokratische Republik?

So, to sum it up... West Germany gives East Germany 2 trillion euros...

And in return, East Germany gives its Western brethren... better football coaching, a few daycare centers and ideas on bottle recycling!

And what is the ground-breaking contribution of the "East German model" to healthcare? Are you ready? ... (drum roll) ... it's to have doctors "share office space, medical equipment and expertise" in one building. How amazingly innovative! Who woulda thunk of it?

Long live socialism!


Got anymore laughable links to try to evade my questions?

The German Health Care System

Who is covered?
Coverage is universal for all legal residents. About 85 percent of the population is covered by social health insurance and 10 percent by substitutive private health insurance. The remainder (e.g., soldiers, policemen) are covered under special programs. Undocumented immigrants are covered by social security in case of illness. All employed citizens (and other groups such as pensioners) earning less than €4,237.50 (US$5,422.80) per month (€50,850.00 [US$65,074.00] per year) as of 2012 are mandatorily covered by SHI, and their dependents (nonearning spouses and children) are covered free of charge. Individuals whose gross wages exceed the threshold, civil servants, and the self-employed can choose either to remain in the publicly financed scheme on a voluntary basis (and 75% of them do) or to purchase private health insurance.

Your dumb ass keeps trying to deflect to healthcare.

Let's try this simple question, asshat... Which economy could afford a more lavish healthcare system for its citizens - West Germany or East Germany?
