Commentary by Daniel Alman (aka Dan from Squirrel Hill)

In Cuba, if you’re a tourist with U.S. dollars, you get great health care.
And if you’re a high ranking government official, you also get great health.
But if you’re just an average Cuban citizen, you get the kind of health care that’s in these photographs.
All of these photographs are from the internet archive of the website therealcuba.com. The reason I’m using the internet archive is because the account at the original website “has been suspended.” I don’t know the reason for the suspension.
Source for all photos: https://web.archive.org/web/20100404025459/http://therealcuba.com/Page10.htm
The caption for the above photo says, “Floors full of excrements, bare mattresses, terrible food and even worse medical attention.”
Comment from Daniel Alman (aka Dan from Squirrel Hill): The above photo shows one of Cuba’s environmentally friendly green ambulances, which does not burn any fossil fuel.
The caption for the above photo says, “Gentiuno reporters counted 27 dead roaches on the floor.”
The caption for the next four photographs below states:
These photos were taken at Havana’s psychiatric hospital, known as Mazorra, in early January of this year and taken out of the island by people who risked their lives to show the world what really is happening in Castro’s Cuba.
These are several of the more than 40 patients who died of hypothermia at the hospital, when temperatures near freezing hit the area where Mazorra is located.
These patients died because of the negligence of those in charge of this hospital, and after they died, hospital officials threw them on a table, one on top of the other, like bags of garbage at the local dumpster.
This is the fantastic healthcare that Cubans receive, according to Michael Moore and other useful idiots.
Patients are treated worse than animals. It is the cruelty of that brutal regime that has been oppressing the Cuban people for more than 51 years, while the dictator murdering and oppressing Cubans is referred to as “president,” and embraced by Latin American leaders who were democratically elected.
Many show marks that indicate that patients were beaten before they died.
The caption for the above photo says, “Yes, those black marks are flies.”
How do you know what Bernie does or does not want?
Did you ask him?
Blogs. Wow.
Good post, nice blog, is it yours?
I really hope the state of health care is not this bad in Cuba! Those poor people :-/
I lived in Miami for a couple of years in the 70’s
Got to know some Cuban Americans...great people and great food :-)
The nurses had better be really, really cute or they got ripped off.
bump
That doesn’t excuse clickbait headlines.
But, but, but...where are the Potemkin hospitals???
Bernie is one dangerous old bastard. How can the people from Vermont be dumb enough to keep electing this clown. He would dump on his own mother to get a vote. Where is all the money coming from to pay for a losing campaign?
George Soros.
That’s messed up. But funny.
Really? I would have guessed Mayor Homo was the Soros project.
As a Medical Corps Officer I jumped at the chance to visit a public hospital in a Latin American Country. I was horrified. I had no idea. But the photos in this article? Yup. Take a good look folks because that’s what “free” healthcare looks like. And these folks are lucky. Where I went they didn’t serve food. If no one brought you food you didn’t eat.
Thanks. And yes, it’s my blog.
Wow!
You know what Bernie wants by what he does: he wants the destruction of the US.
People sort of naturally expect that “medical” would indicate certain standards of hygiene would be met or the outcomes would be horrible. I was interested in Nuerosurgery and the doctor that invited me made sure I got to see “the room where they do Nuerosurgery. It was a small room, no door, linoleum floor from decades deviously with tears and holes and a barber chair. She assured me people actually survived. It just proves humans can take a lot more than we assume.
That was my first thought.
Not “We are right to condemn Cuba, its ideology and leaders” but “Those poor people. Those poor, poor, people.”
They sure have solved the obesity problem.
Looks more like a prison, a third world prison.
