schestowitz"Junkies run a scam where you superglue one digit, wedge a plastic card into coin return slot, leave it a day or so, then come back with pliers remove plastic card and get a torrent of coins, diminishing returns these days I'd imagine but it still goes on... Borough of Kensington & Chelsea employ people to go round taking call girl cards down, they get replaced almost immediately... A friend of mine (a woman as it happens) Apr 07 00:18
schestowitzhas been collecting these cards for decades, she literally has a couple of thousand all nicely presented in photo albums, I've been trying to convince her to turn them into a coffee table book : ) Of course a lot of people use them as public conveniences too, .

schestowitzDoctors and the public need protection from both unethical businessmen and corrupt government.Apr 07 09:52
schestowitzPrivate medicine is good if it is properly regulated and it's not incompatible with decent public health care. Private hospitals thrived in Louisiana even though Long built good public facilities. Needless to say, the private facilities were competitive. With proper regulations, they can be ethical because they will be run by doctors instead of businessmen.Apr 07 09:52
schestowitzI don't really know much about Soviet medicine but I suspect it's an example of what happens with unregulated monopoly business. I'm told by someone who was treated in Soviet hospitals that the party had good facilities for themselves but could barely keep clean water available to the rest. With a tight state monopoly, the state behaves like a single, inefficient company. We might get something similar if we let health Apr 07 09:52
