Cheap shags
When one reaches my age one believes that nothing can surprise you, but this is a flagrant mistake. One believes you have already seen all. However when you least expect it, bang! A new monstrosity makes you wobble.

Long time ago I read a book written by Barbara Smucker, Underground to Canada. It is an amazing novel for teenagers —also for adults— that talks about slaves who cross US toward Canada in order to become free men and women. Slaves who use some people, abolitionists, and an ‘Underground Railway’ to escape from their owners.
«Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is about ensuring that people have access to the health care they need without suffering financial hardship. It also helps drive better health and development outcomes.»    
On this occasion there is a column (Kate Hodal, The Guardian) where I find a frightening practice that many women from sub-Saharan Africa and Asia are bearing nowadays: one more case of sexual slavery.
According a recent study (Chatham House´s papers), when a woman goes to have a baby she has to face up to a bill of £1500; let us suppose that this woman has means enough, she pay the services and bye; otherwise if this woman doesn´t have sufficient financial resources —which happens frequently— she and her baby are detained by the doctors. Yes, these women settle their debts submitting to these lascivious ‘professionals’.
«The UHC Forum aims to galvanize the health sector, countries, development partners, civil society and the private sector toward the common goal of UHC, including pandemic preparedness, and highlighting country success and breakthrough experiences to accelerate the progress of UHC.
In the most extreme cases, women that are even tied to drainpipes, starved and are physically and psychologically degraded. You will be asking right now how long this situation lasts. It´s very simple. Suffice it to say that it results of divide 1500 by 2,16: 695 intercourses. For these bastards each shag works out a little more than two pounds!
«Sustainable Development Goal 3: Health. Ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages. Health targets for SDG 3 are 3.1, 3.2... 3.8 Achieve universal health coverage, including financial risk protection, access to quality essential healthcare services and access to safe, effective, quality and affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all
And from what one can see, this crime is common and accepted by such society. Politicians make use of this in their politics campaigns. I can believe it. I imagine this poor woman calculating how many sexual relations she has left to satisfy her owner and that he gives back all her papers.
All this as for the mother. As regard the baby, in the twenty-first century, there are children who are born slaves; they are not free while their mothers have not cancelled their obligations. Why happen this? Because hospitals, clinics and health services are private. Although these practices also occur in public establishments in a lesser proportion, among other things because there are fewer. Human basic rights shouldn´t be private because in this way the rabble who rule the money set up a personal business with its rules and these rules are against universal values.
