Sen. Harkin should feel free to travel to Cuba for his future medical care, he'd get first hand knowledge of it.

As Forrest Gump’s mama used to say: “Stupid is as stupid does!”

THIS IS THE FAMOUS ‘GREAT AND FREE HEALTHCARE’ THAT REGULAR CUBANS RECEIVE

[Repeal The 17th]

He has decided not to run for reelection so he feels he can show his true colors, now.

[fhayek]

Is this the same ‘remarkable’ health care system from which Fidel Castro fled to Spain for HIS medical treatment?

[digger48]

I’m surprised he didn’t reflect on the many fighter jet missions he flew over Cuba back in the day...

[amnestynone]

He should talk to the Cuban emigre I talked to. She said they do indeed have Doctors and hospitals. But, they have no medicine and for that measure no sheets for the hospitals. Her uncle is typical he makes money on the black market to pay for medicine that he needs for a serious health issue. He buys it abroad because it and other medicine is not available in Cuba.

“Their life expectancy is now greater than ours,” he said.

Harkin is a Moron!

[RginTN]

Dems have no skepticism about a Communist dictatorship claims. huh.

[lurk]

History repeats itself. The NY Times sent a reporter to Stalin’s Russia, and he came back saying it was awesome.

Of course, he did not move there, nor did more than half a dozen believers.

[hinckley buzzard]

Tom Harkin has long been a credulous fool when it comes to medicine and such. He was the force behind the institutionalization of the collection of quackeries known as "complementary and alternative medicine." Crystals and pyramids anyone?

He is also a lying Viet Nam Vet wannabe. So I'm sure we can take his word for the wonders of medicine in Cuber.

How does Harken get re-elected?

I'd suggest the the Eastern 2/3's of Iowa voters are Commies.

[Seaplaner]

Harkin... gushed ... "they have a lower child mortality rate than ours."...

"Their life expectancy is now greater than ours," he said. "It's interesting — their public health system is quite remarkable."

Oh, my. Hailing from a Democratic [sic] Party that deals in wall-to-wall lies and perpetual deceit, does he not suspect Cuban propaganda to be faked from start-to-finish? (Alternatively, might he be going along with the "gags"?)

[Steely Tom]

Only socialism, communism, and the other collectivist left-isms can make use of idiots. That’s because they’re suited only for ruling over a population comprised of idiots.

Capitalism has no use for “useful idiots.”

I don’t know how useful Harkin is, but he certainly is an idiot.

[Sooth2222]

Harkin, a Democrat, recently spent a week in Cuba, apparently taking in all that the island prison has to offer. On his return, he told reporters that Cuba is a "poor country" — did he think they didn't know this? — but gushed that "they have a lower child mortality rate than ours."

"Their life expectancy is now greater than ours," he said. "It's interesting — their public health system is quite remarkable."

You do understand that they cook the books, Senator, particularly the books that they show to you -- I guess not.

Even though Cubans can't afford to buy 32 ounce soft drinks to get fat, can't afford crack cocaine, and aren't allowed to buy guns for the drive-by shootings so popular in Democrat cities in the US -- they still don't live as long as we do.

[SERKIT]

Another Harkin dung heap.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The “mortality” Harkin mentioned is bogus. In the US, we allow “at-risk” children to be born. In Cuba, they're aborted and thus not counted in the statistic.

[TChad]

The dream of a society in which everyone is equal has become real in Cuba. Everyone gets $20 per month plus a ration card.
