A little context: In Brazil, public free health care is universal. You may be homeless, a legal or illegal immigrant, a tourist, undocumented, never having paid insurance or taxes, but you have the right to use the health care system. As it should be, everywhere.

Keep in mind the health care isn't exactly the best and you'll probably be in a queue for a while, but at least you don't go bankrupt after a visit to the hospital.

I know, I'm Brazilian! It's the largest public health system in the world, and Brazil is not (yet haha) a superpower, so all things considered (and despite all the corruption), they do a pretty good job. In some regions it's even decent, once you survived the lines.

And people keep on staring at me as if I was crazy when I tell them that the multi-polar world order had already arrived. It isn't over doesn't event, it's many small ones combined.

Exciting times.
