Cuba's world class health system




Okay, I'm going over old ground here, but then again, it's a point that seems to need to be made over and over again.

How many times do you still run into some idiot who seeks to make excuses for Castro and his thuggish dictatorship by droning on about a Cuban health system they've never actually experienced first hand as first or world class?

Way too many even now.
In the context of a post on Cuban doctors working in Venezuela defecting in increasing numbers by crossing the border into Colombia, the Captain's Quarter's blog points back to an earlier piece that contained photos of a Cuban hospital that we wouldn't take our pets to, let alone a person.
The photo above is an example.

a photo that we cant know real or not.whatever.. the point is you cant expect Cuba to be modern as US because of the embargo. but if you can really open your eyes: the infant mortality rate is way better in Cuba. They may not be very good at speacialists but they are perfect in preventive medicine. And also free and high quality healthcare is a constitutional right. Why? Because they care about people not profits! i am not a communist but i am also not an idiot.
