Funny how my cards have worked everywhere in Europe I've been this century. (Plus Turkey, over a decade ago.) With a population nearly twice that of the USA, and more ethnicities, languages, and national borders than you can shake a stick at.

Because "ethnic background" makes such a huge difference in how to care for people's health? Is it the quirky dietary habits of the common flu, or the incomprehensible language of cancer tumours that is the bigger problem...? Or is it just -- as usual -- the off-putting diseases and contagions of "those people" that civilised doctors can't treat?

If you really can't see that the "ethnic background" argument for running your country in such a shitty way is and always has been an utterly bogus tactic by your oligarchs to put the plebs against each other, then... Then maybe you're not the courageous free and independent thinker it's always seemed you like to see yourself as. Maybe you're still much more stuck in the "bubble" than you thought you were, in your own little amniotic sac in the rentier propaganda matrix.
