The beauty of a democratic, capitalist system is that problems are approached with an eye to finding what works. In totalitarian systems it's ideolgy regnant. Somewhere you got turned around.

Let me see here: I'm all for a capitalist free market system with no gub'mint involvement; you're singing the praises of the biggest totalitarian system in the Western hemisphere and your conclusion is that I'm turned around?

BWAHAHAHAHA!

Nice try, old bean.

My reply was "What good is the new stuff if no one can afford it?"

And yet you believe that Cuba, a country that can't feed its own people, can't supply jobs and has no free market, can afford all this modern technology? You're bullsh!tt!n' yourself, Larry.

Cuba turns out good cigars despite all the bad stuff.
Why can't it have a good medical system as well? I'm open to exploring the possibility...which is more than I can say for you.

Sorry, missed this in my first reply.

No. You missed the point. They can't(I think) afford the new technology. Yet I'm told they deliver excellent health care by most measures. How do they do it? Do they do it? Can they do it?

I'm curious as hell. Why aren't you?
