This brings to mind my favorite George Will quote, from the spring of 1993. Asked his opinion of the difficulties experienced in the ramp-up of Clinton Administration, Mr. Will Replied:

“I disagree the the administration is in disarray; this is what liberal government looks like.”

Similarly, the North Korean health care system is not in disarray. Everything is going exactly as to the plan. It’s just a crummy plan.

This is normal in North Korea. It’s the Old Normal for that country. Currently there are efforts underway to define a New Normal in the USA, in everything from health care to employment to bailouts of favored groups, using the same crummy plan.
