Did you know that in the USSR, you could dial the number "03" on the telephone, and a free ambulance would come to help you? Here is a picture of one of the ambulances (nicknamed a "loaf"): (upload.wikimedia.org)

Yeah it does kind of look like a loaf of bread.

Anyway, this is just a reminder that free healthcare is IMPOSSIBLE, we just do not have the technology!

It's UAZ-452, produced since 1965 and still up to this day in crapton of various models which all still retain the characteristical original look. The pictured is probably UAZ-3962, dedicated ambulance model, also still in production, nicknamed "Tabletka" (pill).
