But I can get toilet paper.
Apparently there’s TENS OF THOUSANDS of Cubans who at the hands of the bloody tyrant Castro didn’t live long as anyone.
The Left is brain damaged.
Yeah - and I guess the average annual salary is about $240. So they are paying PLENTY for “free” healthcare.
Leftist romanticize about brutal dictators as long as they’re leftist dictators. Mental disorder.
Read a story in the last month that said the whole spiel about Cuba’s “excellent” health care system is BS, and it is actually worse than it was before Castro. But can’t remember where I saw it.
I went to Havana around the year 2000. I had an accident related to bar stools, booze and women but I fell off the stool and split my cheek open.
Went to clinic; they patched me up. Free? Nope. Wouldn’t take AMEX but Visa, sure. $125! So much for free medical care.
and a fortieth the income...
If I could choose to live the same length of time in prosperity or poverty which would I choose? Hmmmm, such choices.
I see no reason to believe this.
It is a common belief among Americans.
Cuba has definitely pretended to provide great healthcare and be at the top of the field in medicine and biotechnology.
But, Cuba is a closed society without free press or free speech.
Claims made under such circumstances are under no obligation to be believed or accepted, and in fact the opposite is true.
When a government maintains an closed society without free speech and press it is hiding things and any claim they made should be met with skepticism and a very high burden of proof.
Hey Atlantic idiot...The gulag costs next to nothing. And I think you should volunteer to go over and live in your paradise.
Isolation and geography/climate has a lot to do with it. Not because they have a wonderful healthcare system.
“Read a story in the last month that said the whole spiel about Cuba’s “excellent” health care system is BS, and it is actually worse than it was before Castro. But can’t remember where I saw it.”
Anyone who thinks medical care is better in Cuba than in the US is absolutely delusional, and welcome to go there the next time they need health care. I’ve honestly never seen as much abject ignorance as I’ve seen among leftist ‘true believers’.
What complete feces.
I was there in the 2000’s working in the interest section. All of the typical socialist ills - including free health care. It was free - but locals couldn’t even get bloody aspirin much less other medicines.
Delusional leftist scum.
I don’t want to live like the Cubans.
Starting tomorrow we force Doctors, Nurses and Caretakers to work for slave wages.
That should help solve the Cost equation.
“Isolation and geography/climate has a lot to do with it.”
IMHO, falsified data has a lot to do with it.
Why do Cubans live as long as Americans?
It’s the same reason Cuba claims a higher live birth rate than Americans...
THEY DON’T COUNT THEIR ABORTIONS.
Why do Cubans live as long as Americans?
They don’t count murder/suicide/disappeared persons/firing squad deaths in their stats.
Cubans live to old age in spite of not because of. Cubans usually.live into their 80s and 90s naturally in the US. It’s a miracle they still do.in Cuba. Good old.Castilian genetics and plantains.
