premier cigars and quality public health care too

Why Cuba Is Exporting Health Care to the U.S.

Cubans say they offer health care to the world's poor because they have big hearts. But what do they get in return?
They live longer than almost anyone in Latin America. Far fewer babies die. Almost everyone has been vaccinated, and such scourges of the poor as parasites, TB, malaria, even HIV/AIDS are rare or non-existent. Anyone can see a doctor, at low cost, right in the neighborhood.
The Cuban health care system is producing a population that is as healthy as those of the world's wealthiest countries at a fraction of the cost. And now Cuba has begun exporting its system to under-served communities around the world -- including the United States.
The story of Cuba's health care ambitions is largely hidden from the people of the United States, where politics left over from the Cold War maintain an embargo on information and understanding. But it is increasingly well-known in the poorest communities of Latin America, the Caribbean, and parts of Africa where Cuban and Cuban-trained doctors are practicing.

Black balled, black listed, disavowed Cuba produces not only premium quality cigars, but Health Care, too . . . ?

Way to go Castro and the Cuban people … !

Must really chap the health professionals in America to be forced to admit the health care regime utilized by Cuba appears to produce a “healthier” citizenry.

Your corporate controlled mass media make sure “we” – that’s you and me never receive the truth about Cuba’s health, just like your corporate controlled mass media makes sure you and I don’t see the American flag draped coffins arriving on American shore from Iraq and Afghanistan.
