Free healthcare even for foreigners! What’s not to like about Cuba? Weather there is good, too.

After yugo finds himself on the underside of the grass it will be one less two-bit, totalitarian, socialist dictator in the Western Hemisphere.

After November it will be two less.

Anyone for a “Dead Pool”?

Going to a communist hospital in Havana or Moscow is signing one’s own death warrant. Cause of death - socialist universal healthcare.

Hugo Chavez traveled to Cuba on Saturday for another round of cancer treatment,

What, are they going to give him some top-secret "sugar-mo therapy"?

What else have they got?

He must be worried that someone in Venezuela will inject him with some real chemo. Dictators have a hard time trusting their own people.

In a just world, the democrat party political class in Washington would give up their ultra-luxury healthcare (exempt from ObamaCare they mandate for the proles).

The democrat politicians and bureaucrats would be forced to go to Cuba, to get the same care that Crazy Hugo sought out.

Oh, that includes Michael Moore, who makes films saying what a medical paradise the flea-bitten shantytown/prison island of Cuba is. He actually sneaks into very expensive private clinics for his own real world care.

Imagine how Venezuela’s medical community must feel. Sheesh..
