The Cuban leader received treatment on a par with the best in the world. >B?But most Cubans, reliant on the supposedly universal health system, have to pay for even basic drugs such as aspirin and the equivalent of £30 for "extras" such as X-rays.

The leftists always seem to forget to mention that.

Raul was probably standing there with a pistola aimed at their heads. Like those Iraqi soccer player with Usay, failure was not an option.

Don't you realize that while it takes the average Cuban factory worker three months to earn enough to pay for an X-ray, and seven months for a pensioner to save the money necessary for an X-ray, the uninsured in America are denied medical care completely? So the Cubans are inconvenienced by having to save their money for X-rays, that's paradise compared to having no access to medical treatment whatsoever, just ask those in an American emergency room waiting to be turned away for having no insurance.
