Cubans now being billed for “free” medical care

The Castro dynasty has always constantly reminded their enslaved subjects of their debt to the so-called “Revolution.”

In fact, Castro, Inc. has spent more than five and a half decades defending its repressive laws as “necessary” for sustaining the so-called “free” benefits of health care and education.

This week King Raul took the reminding to a whole new level.

From now on, Cubans will be presented with a “symbolic” bill every time they receive any medical care.

The bill will itemize the cost of every visit or procedure, to remind Cubans how lucky they are not to have to pay.

Knowing how Castro, Inc. works, this must mean that “free” health care is probably about to be phased out.

And you can be sure that the costs itemized in these bills will be hugely inflated.

After all, aren’t there enough Cuban Yo-Yo’s abroad who have the means of paying for the healthcare their relatives receive in Castrogonia?

From Q Costa Rica:

A report from Cuban television noted that Cuban medical institutions have begun to provide their patients with symbolic bills with the actual cost of services rendered.

Miosotis Moreno, director of Economics and Planning at the Ministry of Public Health (MINSAP) clarified that the health services will not start actually charging their patients, but the account is “symbolic”.

“It is not the intention that the services will be charged … It is only so that the people feel the commitment with the services that we are offering today, how we do it, what the cost is to the Ministry of Public Health and the country,” the official said.

According to the National Television News, the bill seeks to help the Cuban people know “that the services in our health system are free [for users], but cost [the system].”

“Most Cubans were born with the Revolution and we never worry about how much a surgical operation costs, or a clinical analysis, or an ultrasound, not to mention many of the other medical services that the population receives,” said the program’s director in the report.

“This way it is convenient, it is educational, it is a better way to give recognition to what we have done … It allows institutions also to really see what we are investing, it forces us to be more aware of the costs, which for a long time has been something that has not been given the right importance,” said a professional interviewed in the report.

The report was aired on Saturday, March 18, during the Noticiero del Mediodía.
