I pay $15k a year health insurance for my family, it only kicks in after I spend $5k, and a doctor can say I require one thing and the insurance can reject it (discuss.online)

“Basically” three. Cuz a reasonable person could disagree that all three are good examples.

  • Burkina Faso (under Sankara)
  • Guatemala (under Arbenz)
  • Chile (under Allende)

I'm not familiar with the first but Allende's socialist policies hit some big issues even before the US took it down and Guatemala wasn't even socialist much less communist. So they're good examples of US stopping leftist governments and social policies but imo not good examples of specifically communism working well.
