What Cuban medical treatment if it even is for real?
Socialist medicine is awesome...says nobody
Coming soon to a hospital near you, thanks to Obama and his cronies
It’s free and worth every penny.
Well that would be the best thing Cuban medicine has ever done.
... because no American dies of cancer? What a c**p article.
Here’s a theoretical question — Had Chavez come to the USA for treatment for his type of cancer, would he have fared better?
Cancer 1, Cuban Medicine, Nil.
Bingo. Post of the thread!
I can see tomorrows news... This just in - Hugo Chavez is still dead!
What was that fat lard moore saying about cuba medicine.
Chavez is dead, according to Drugereport.com
“Cuban Medicine Killed Hugo Chavez”
As long as something did. A drone would have been preferable. Maybe Sean Penn will die of a broken heart.
“... because no American dies of cancer? What a c**p article.”
I wonder where the Cuban doctors studied? I wonder if they are up to date, and if they are on a par with contemporary outcomes?
I wonder precisely the type of cancer Chavez had, and what the expected outcome is, with the best treatments?
Or IOW did Chaves have a chance, even with the best doctors?
Then, they can have Michael Moore as well. Let’s give it a few more years.
You can be your a$$ the the tub o’ lard doesn’t get his medical care down there.
Cuban medical treatment is in tiers. There are luxury ultra modern hospitals for foreigners and the elite, and a third world nightmare with no medicine bandages or toilet paper for everyone else.
Ordinary Cubans get medical treatment that would be considered good — in the 1950’s.
The Doctors, nurses, etc. are paid less than bartenders in resorts catering to tourists. They aren’t allowed to emigrate. Those very low salaries are the key to keeping costs down — that and little money for high-tech medicine. When Doctors are sent to other countries, their families are kept behind, to ensure that the doctors return.
Cuban medical care is actually quite good. You just don’t hear about it unless you go outside of the US.
Apparently he was better off without doctors. The doctors made the cancer untreatable. He would have done better by living a clean life and not stealing from others. At least then, he would have ended up in the right place.
And thus you have the main problem with big government. It has killed far more then it can ever save.
