Powerful new post by Yuri Maltsev about the hard lessons learned through the failed experiment of Soviet universal healthcare. Yuri worked as an economist on Mikhail Gorbachev's economic reform team before defecting to the United States. He is a senior fellow at the Mises Institute, a Professor of Economics at Carthage College, and the editor of Requiem for Marx. He was also a speaker at the Regular Joes, Powerful Voices event organized by the Fox Valley Initiative.

Special thanks to David S. for bringing this article to my attention.
