Venezuela Socialist Government Showing the U.S. (capitalist gov) how to provide health care to EVERYONE (instead of making greedy insurance companies richer)! - 90% of Venezuelas population currently benefits from some type of government-funded healthcare - The new Constitution of 1999 states that healthcare is a fundamental human right that should be guaranteed to all. To make this mandate a reality, the Bolivarian government has increased spending on healthcare – it currently stands at 4.2% of GDP – and created free clinics in poor urban and rural neighborhoods, as part of the program “Barrio Adentro” (“Inside the Neighborhood”). As of January 2009, Mission Barrio Adentro has made the following accomplishments: 24,884,567 Venezuelans have benefited, about 88.9% of our population. 630,491 lives have been saved. 6,531 People’s Medical Clinics, 479 Integral Medical Diagnostic Centers (CDIs), 543 Integral Rehabilitation Centers (SRI), 26 High Technology Medical Centers (CAT) have been opened. 13 People’s Clinics, 459 People’s Opticians and 3,019 Consultation Centers and Dental Clinics have been opened. Due to these ambitious measures, nearly 90% of the population currently benefits from some type of government-funded healthcare. - link venezuela-us.org/salud-en-numeros/
