Exposing Cuba’s abysmal health care
One of the "good" hospitals: Placetas, in Las Villas province
ABC Spain has published an article today, "The false myth of Cuban Health Care," which argues that the only real success that can be claimed for the Cuban medical system is the official propaganda that the Castro regime has disseminated about it.
The best phrase: "The myth of Cuban health care is crumbling as quickly as its dilapidated hospitals."
This won't surprise anyone who has lived in Cuba or still has relatives on the island. But it might come as a surprise to others. Without a doubt, some readers in Spain and Latin America will dismiss it as mere opinion or else as false counterpropaganda cooked up by a fascist newspaper.
Among the not-so-shocking revelations:
There are really two levels of care in the Castro Kingdom: one for nearly every Cuban, another for the elites. While Cubans do have access to health care, for the vast majority, it is sorely deficient, even dangerously inadequate
The Castro regime manipulates health care statistics.
The Castro regime sends far too many doctors to third world countries and to Venezuela, creating a physician shortage on the island.
Those doctors who do stay in Cuba routinely accept gifts and bribes, and these under-the-table payments are often the only way to ensure proper care.

Glad to see this, but those who refuse to accept the truth will keep doing that.
U.S. prisons also have free health care to make sure that the inmates rejoin their prison employment as soon as possible.
I think most influential leftists know this perfectly well and have for years, just as they know the "free education" is a glorified indoctrination system which they would vehemently denounce if it Castro, Inc. were right-wing. Poor ignorant people in Latrine America are a different matter, but they're not the ones who make or influence policy toward Cuba.
Can you imagine any of the Hollywood cretins finding this acceptable for THEM?
Even if health care was good for average Cubans, it would NOT be "free." Absolutely nothing you get from a totalitarian system is free. You're paying for it with your freedom.
Don't ever buy the ignorance excuse from the usual suspects. They know it's all BS, but it suits them.
