Newborn babies are dying from conditions only found in remote regions of the planet that have no access to such amenities as electricity. When the head of Venezuela's health ministry offered up data showing what a disaster the healthcare situation in Venezuela was, she was sacked. Cuban "physicians" are abandoning Venezuela for Brazil and Colombia.

No sterile gauze. No aspirin. No antibiotics. No insulin. No cancer drugs. Needles being resharpened, "sterilized" and reused. "One time use" medical supplies being used on multiple patients. Hospitals with no electricity and running water.

Women cannot find formula for their babies. No diapers, sanitary napkins or tampons. (Kimberly Clark's factory was nationalized" when it shut down because they couldn't get raw materials. Now it is owned by "the People".... and still produces nothing.)

The "poor" get foods from the CLAPS (distributed monthly)... providing they show up routinely for pro-government rallies and make no noise regarding the lack of democracy. Any dissent is met with no food.

Most nationalized companies produce nothing, and workers get paid for producing nothing. Government employees show up only a few days per week, and remain employed ONLY if they are faithful to Chavismo. They only produce should you pay various "fees" (bribes... in dollars, please) to expedite "lost paperwork"*.

*My wife's family had to come up with the equivalent of $27,000+ (dollars only) to get their passports, so they could leave "legally". Not that there was anything wrong with their old passports. You need special "documentation" to fly out of Maiquetía... and don't forget the "fees" to be paid to Chavista goons prior to boarding. (You are not allowed to take dollars out of Venezuela... the goons will personally exchange your US dollars ($1 = 6200+ Bolivars on the black market...but the official rate is 10 Bolivars. Guess which rate YOU get?)
