Socialized medicine in action

At least 5,000 Russians have marched in a protest against plans to lay off thousands of doctors and close hospitals in Moscow, AP reports.  Doctors, patients and other protesters braved freezing cold on Sunday to voice their opposition to an ongoing Moscow health care reform that could remove up to 10,000 doctors from their jobs and close 28 hospitals  and clinics by early next year.
