Liberals have oft exalted communist Cubas free health care system. Isnt it wonderful? Why cant we do that?
Of course, for one thing, the free system in Cuba isnt nearly so wonderful as Sicko Michael Moore made it in his propaganda film. Frankly, I wouldnt take my dog to a Cuban hospital.
It isnt just Michael Moore; CNN depicted the Cuban system as a model for America, too.

There's no subtlety here: Communism is double-plus good, and anyone who disagrees is un-American. Sheesh!
Communism always appeals to someone w/ no first hand experience w/ it. The theory is so alluring..the outcome is disastrous.
Would somebody please explain how a “right” suddenly has penalties attached for not exercising said right?
Only in the twisted minds of LIBs is this possible.
Healthcare in Cuba isn’t “Free”. It costs you you! Try leaving.
This is how it will affect me. My company pays for my insurance premiums, and as long as my wife's place of employment does not provide a Health Plan, they pay hers as well. If her employer does offer one, but she chooses to stay on my companies plan, the I pay her monthly premium.
If there is a Government option with mandate it will be as if her company has a plan, and we will be forced to decide, between the government option, or paying a premium to stay on mine. This is why I say BS every time I hear Obama say this will not affect you in no way , if you like the plan your on.
Yes, are they going to jail all the people in the USA who haven't bought guns yet? Actually it is not the same, health care is not a right, it is a privilege. The left is insane, anyone who thinks they aren't just isn't paying attention.
