Depends on how you define medium distance here. Probably it is not "two bus stops away", but rather "neither inside the city, nor between them". Then suburban tranins like these.
Agreed, but cycling for short distance(depending on definition) in city most of times less convenient that walking or using regular scooter(which in some countries legally same as walking). But this depends on infrastructure, and I can imagine cases where it is more convenient: when you can store bycicle without moving it upstairs. For same reason it is very convenient to use bycicles in rural areas.
Academy of Sciences existed over 4 political systems and over 4 economic systems. Even under Putinism it doesn't look like goverment place as most corporations. What we call goverment place look should better be called along the lines of dictatorship place look. Because this is how power that does not represent interests of society should be called.
True. My point wasn't preventative care instead of emergency, but preventative care should be if not part of UHC, then at least provided to every citizen by state.
Especially if their entire bill is 0.
Nurse that can diagnose is called feldsher. Has secondary special education(between secondary and higher).
That's why I said too little.
Maybe. Maybe not. Medicine is not making chairs or making phones.
This is valid concern. Result here doesn't seem completely predictable to me, because as I understand physician's wage is disconnected from price private hospitals charge. Cutting salaries is likely, but not the only outcome, because a lot of money was spent on communicating with private insurances.
Having healthcare is better than not having it, but if it will be limited to poor and old, then it will be heavily underfunded like public transport.
I mean in certain somecountries it is part of UHC.
Better than nothing.
