I'm searching for an accurate account of the Soviet healthcare system… preferably a highly critical one. Article and book recommendations would do just fine as I don’t expect anyone to type out a wall of text that systematically examines all aspects of the Soviet healthcare system.

My entire family, including myself, are from an ex-Soviet state, so I know about the absurdities of the health care system, such as people bribing doctors, bureaucrats, etc., but I’d like a scholarly examination of the Soviet healthcare system because people don’t take personal experience seriously in arguments. It’d be nice to be able to provide a few quotes from a scholar.  

Thank you for your time.
