George Orwell in his masterpiece novel “Animal Farm” said, “in Soviet Russian Socialism, all are equal but some are more equal” and in fact according to me in our Socialism borrowed from Soviet Russia, some are not only more equal but are sacrosanct requiring divine type of treatment they get during their sicknesses. These privileged people are coming from the ruling elite segment of our society and having all the powers at their disposal they get best of treatment like super human beings compulsorily needing extra ordinary treatment.
See the medical treatment they get in the private hospitals at tax payers cost while the common men are dumped in the government hospitals where there is no surety if they are going to survive or not. In fact there is a vast difference between the treatment provided in the government hospitals and private but only the more affluent can afford treatment in private hospitals and yet we boast of our equality which is nothing but a big joke.
Members of political class normally do not get admitted in the government hospitals for Corona Virus inspite of the tall claims by the authorities concerned that government hospitals are better equipped with all the facilities but in reality public feels lot of risks are involved in the government hospitals. Unless this fear is removed from the minds of public, there cannot be any confidence in the minds of the public who feel there is no equality in medical treatment. For example if he was an ordinary citizen instead of Parricar, he would never get such a fabulous and the expensive treatment at the cost of tax payers money. Public fund is wrongly utilized by our political leaders in the name of equality which is the fake equality.
