Fausta, via AOSHQ
21st Century democratic socialism's healthcare in the news:

Aníbal Chávez, brother of the late Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chávez, died on Sunday of complications of bacterial salmonella and brucellosis in the intensive care unit of the Military Hospital in Caracas, after having been transferred from the Varyná Clinic in Barinas and airlifted to the Santa Sofía Clinic in El Cafetal.

The Venezuelan government made the death announcement, and Nicolás Maduro tweeted, "My condolences to the Chávez family on the passing of mayor Aníbal Chávez. Eternal honor, brother!"
