dividing a nation’s “human development” score, obtained by looking at statistics on life expectancy, health and education,


Life expectancy can be skewed if a country lies about infant mortality. The US counts infant deaths from the first breath, some countries only count babies alive after six months. I imagine Cuba is in that group.

Health? Yeah, Cuba thrives on medical tourism. Anyone with a serious disease goes to Cuba for treatment.

Education. Cuba claims 100% literacy—that’s how good their schools are. It is one reason why students from around the world go to Cuban universities and why Cuba is a world leader in science, math, engineering and the arts.

What a load of crap.

Meanwhile, Cuban citizens have to bring their own light bulbs and linens to the hospital.
