Finding Dr. Sanjay Gupta in Cuba: “I found in him a refusal to subscribe to the Oliver Stone/Michael Moore school of willful blindness…”

Frances Martel at Mediaite has written a lengthy article interviewing CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta in Havanna, Cuba. Dr. Gupta is in Cuba to investigate for himself the facts about Cuba's healthcare system that everyone seems determined to hold up as a prime example of a successful government/state-run system. Democrats, Hollywood celebrities such as Michael Moore [...]

Watch On An Empty Stomach …

I don't know what is worse ... The Cuban healthcare system, or the detached leftist/liberals living in a comfort zone far, far away from it, but bowing adoringly to if from their safe distance for "the cause".

Oct. 11 - Michael Moore was interviewed on Friday, October 9, by Sean Hannity on Fox News Channel.
During the interview, Hannity played excerpts from Moore's documentary "Sicko" where he presented a false view of Cuba's healthcare.
Hannity then told Moore that he wanted to show [...]

Amnesty International: America Makes Cuba Sick

Amnesty International released a report earlier this week indicating that the U.S. and its embargo is responsible for the deterioration of health in Cuba. I was going to post some personal thoughts on this, but after reading this piece by Sylvia Longmire at Dallas-based Examiner.com, I figured I'd let her explain instead:
Unfortunately, the Amnesty report [...]

Cuba’s vaunted healthcare system exposed

From TalkingCuba:
The hearse led a procession through the streets of a Cuban town then out into the countryside. It was converted from a 1980’s era Chevy S-10 blazer, a rare model to be found in Cuba where nearly all American-made cars predate the 1959 revolution. But a few foreign embassies and consulates imported [...]
