For that, you need to look back to the Bourbons or perhaps Louis XVI.
The problem is, the Imperial Aristocracy respects the individual Imperial Amerikan Subject perhaps only a little more than Louis XVI. The only reason they cannot yet behave as they wish is the pesky 225 year traditions of the Old American Republic (born July 4th, 1776 died Dec. 12, 2000) are still so fresh in the minds of many.
The Busheviks must proceed slowly if they want to seize the prize undamaged. After all, this nation is bristling with arms and the one central tenet of it's character, as it was with the Roman Republic, is that it will never bow to a King.
So Imperial Power must be consolidated by other means, always paying lying lip service to the traditions of the Old American Republic by people who hate those traditions and want all the unchecked power and wealth for themselves.
How does this relate to medical care? Well, you know of the touching concern of Louis XVI and the Aristocracy for the peasants. You know that brutal monarchy is better served by an ill-educated, ill-informed, confused, tired, harroed, and hurried populace who lack the critical tools to understand what is happening to them, let alone to stand up against it.
The Busheviks don't want the peasants to have proper health care. Every peasant that receives proper healthcare takes awau from Rich People's Health Care.
Perhaps you cannot understand, being a member of the Free World which Imperial Amerika has so recently left. Guard your freedoms, BonjourUSA, for unscrupulous men in every nation, including yours, are watching events here in the Empire and calculating just how easily it would be for them to do the same in their nations.
Just as the 1990s saw an expansion of democracy after the American model, so shall the 21st Century see an expansion on Neo-Totalitarianism after the Amerikan model.
Guard your liberty, BonjourUSA and remember that the most dangerous thought you can have is "It can't happen here."
As the destruction of the Old American Republic shows...it can happen anywhere and at any time!
