Does it occur to any of you nimrods that these are simple questions that the press should be asking of the administration instead of just taking pictures of exited Cubans in Havana, and pissed off Cubans in Miami? We should not be satisfied with platitudes from the administration. We should ask...what is the plan?

Does it ever occur to you that the plan has never changed? What is this, nimrod?

What the hell does that prove? Our government plots and funds all sort of useless programs aimed at achieving questionable ends. If the Cuban people are oppressed and the Cuban regime presents a threat to us, eliminate their leaders and complete our goal of regional hegemony.

According to the UN's World Health Organization, Cuba's health care system is an example for all countries of the world.
The Cuban health system is recognized worldwide for its excellence and its efficiency. Despite extremely limited resources and the dramatic impact caused by the economic sanctions imposed by the United States for more than half a century, Cuba has managed to guarantee access to care for all segments of the population and obtain results similar to those of the most developed nations.
During her recent visit to Havana in July of 2014, Margaret Chan, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), impressed by the country's achievements in this field, praised the Cuban health care system: "Cuba is the only country that has a health care system closely linked to research and development. This is the way to go, because human health can only improve through innovation," She also praised "the efforts of the country's leadership for having made health an essential pillar of development" [1].

World Health Organization Ranking; The World’s Health Systems Cuba 39 right after USA...
Plus.. population comparisons: Cuba 11.27 million which is less the 4% of the USA population of 310 million...
Country with most biomedical research articles:
Of almost 3,000 articles published in biomedical research in 2009, 1,169, or 40%, came from the United States.
the next closest NOT CUBA...Great Britain at 300 articles...or 10%..
The Most Innovative Countries In Biology And Medicine - Forbes
Biomedical research expenditures: Medical research - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
So again... how can any logical rational sane person (obviously you are not able to do the modicum of research...) come to the aberrant conclusion
that Cuba has a superior health care system as these pictures illustrate? Pictures are worth a 1,000 words!!!

Nice anecdotal article... but again doesn't support the statistics..
Cuba per WHO 39th...after the USA!
Cuba's population is equal to Ohio.
Cuba's population HAS NO CHOICES in the matter as it is a dictatorship. Like what you want here you want the state to run you from womb to tomb!
Like the rest of the Cuban economy, numerous reports have shown that Cuban medical care has long suffered from severe material shortages caused restrictions on the export of medicines from the US to Cuba.
Health care in Cuba - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Ah... those EVIL Americans and the EMBARGO!!
Why is there an embargo? hmmmm... couldn't be because the Cubans have such a "good health care system"? NO...
Exports from WHERE??? USA? That far inferior health delivery country?
The difficulty in gaining access [AGAIN EVIL AMERICAN EMBARGO!!!] to certain medicines and treatments has led to healthcare playing an increasing role in Cuba's burgeoning black market economy, sometimes termed "sociolismo".
According to former leading Cuban neurosurgeon and dissident Dr Hilda Molina, "The doctors in the hospitals are charging patients under the table for better or quicker service." Prices for out-of-surgery X-rays have been quoted at $50 to $60.
Such "under-the-table payments" reportedly date back to the 1970s, when Cubans used gifts and tips in order to get health benefits.
The harsh economic downturn known as the "Special Period" in the 1990s aggravated these payments.
The advent of the "dollar economy", a temporary legalization of the dollar which led some Cubans to receive dollars from their relatives outside of Cuba, meant that a class of Cubans were able to obtain medications and health services that would not be available to them otherwise.

How disgusting! EVIL American embargo!
Once again people like you are ever so willing to cast American as the bad guys! WHY?
Why are you people so f...king stupid to totally ignore that the reason for the EMBARGO was Cuba is a dictatorship 90 miles away!
You obviously never were alive as I was during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis when truly Americans didn't know if we were going to be alive
the next day! Nuclear missiles 90 miles away. But you have no memory of that!
All Castro had to do was become a benevolent dictator and not be doing what most dictators do such as these atrocities committed by Castro
in the name of Communism...
"When feminist icon Barbara Walters sat quivering alongside Fidel Castro in 1977 cooing: “Fidel Castro has brought very high literacy and great health-care to his country. His personal magnetism is powerful!” dozens of Cuban (genuine) feminists suffered in nearby torture chambers. From exile today many of them recall the horrors:
“They started by beating us with twisted coils of wire recalls former political prisoner Ezperanza Pena from exile today. “I remember Teresita on the ground with all her lower ribs broken. Gladys had both her arms broken. Doris had her face cut up so badly from the beatings that when she tried to drink, water would pour out of her lacerated cheeks.”
When Barbara Walters Was Charmed By Fidel Castro The Daily Caller
Remember those women and their marvelous experiences under Castro....and his torture chambers when you tout Cuban health care!

Cuba has managed to eradicate 14 diseases with the embargo in place. The United States embargo. It's absolutely amazing that you can sit there with eyes wide open and say something so ******* moronic as people like you are ever so willing blah, blah, blah.
Say that shit out loud. You can do it. Say it. Say, "The US embargo denied medicine to Cuba."
People come from all over South America to attend the medical school there. Do you know why? Because Cuban people live longer. Because the birth mortality rate is the lowest. The doctors make house calls. Those that live in poverty have access to preventative health care. They do this for a fraction of what the US pays.
The outdated 2000 WHO report that you keep referring to has long been viewed as bullshit. You see, before Cuba started this they based their health care on the US model. It sucked.
So, ya, do your research.
But you won't because you are truly terrified that someone might look at the model in Cuba with a bit more integrity than you have and start putting two and two together. Ain't that right?

How about this for Cuban Castro integrity???
Anderson vs Republic of Cuba, No. 01-28628 (Miami-Dade Cir. April 13, 2003): "In one final session of torture, Castro's agents drained Howard Anderson's body of blood before sending him to his death at the firing squad."
Eighteen thousand bodies would eventually join Howard Anderson's in mass graves.
This tally comes -- not from some Cuban-exile scandal sheet in Miami -- but from The Black Book of Communism, written by French scholars and translated into English by the Harvard University press, not exactly an outpost of the vast right-wing conspiracy. But this cold statistic doesn't tell the whole story.
Carlos Machado was 15 years old in 1963 when the bullets shattered his bound body. His twin brother and father collapsed beside Carlos from the same volley. All had resisted Castro's theft of their humble family farm.
On Christmas eve 1961, Juana Diaz spat in the face of the Castroite executioners who were binding and gagging her. They'd found her guilty of feeding and hiding "counterrevolutionaries" When the blast from that firing squad demolished her face and torso Juana was six months pregnant.
Traditionally, firing squads have only two of its members with loaded guns. The rest shoot blanks. Not Castro's. In his, all ten members shoot live ammo -- all ten bullets rip into the staked hero or heroine. This incorporates more members into Castro's criminal organization, more members to resist desperately any overthrow of the system with the consequent settling of accounts.
Cuba's population in 1960 was 6.2 million. According to the human Rights group Freedom House, 500,000 Cubans (young and old, male and female) have passed through Castro's prison camps.
At one time during 1961-62, 300,000 Cubans were jailed for political offenses islandwide.
This makes Castro's political incarceration rate higher than Stalin's and Hitler's.
Also, the longest serving political prisoners of the century spent their hell in Castro's Gulag. Senores Mario Chanes de Armas, Angel de Fana and Eusebio Penalver all served thirty years in Castro's dungeons. Consider that Alexander Solzhenitsyn served 8 years in Stalin's Gulag as did Natan Scharansky. Many Cubans served over three times as long.
"For months I was naked in a 6 x 4 foot cell," recalls one prisoner, Eusebio Penalver (the longest serving black political prisoner of the Century, by the way -- jailed longer than Nelson Mandela.) "That's 4 feet high, so you couldn't stand. But I felt a great freedom inside myself. I refused to commit spiritual suicide."[12]
Or how about THIS INTEGRITY???
Now the Castro regime, needing new pretext for mass-jailings and the cowing of the population, turned its police loose on
"anti-social elements," on "deviants" and on "delinquents." Youths were the target here, with special emphasis on long-hairs, rock & roll listeners and -- especially -- homosexuals.
Jehovah's Witnesses, active Catholics and Protestants, along with children of political prisoners, were swept up in the dragnet. "My charge read: 'active in Catholic Associations'" recalls Emilio Izquierdo, rounded up at the age of 17 in 1965, and today President in Miami of the UMAP Political Prisoners Association.
A special set of forced labor camps named UMAP were set up for these young prisoners. The initials stood for Unidades Militares del Ayuda de Produccion" (Military Units to Help Production). The official title did little to hide the pretext for the camps -- forced labor. These camps were completely enclosed by high barbed wire, had machine guns in each watchtower and ferocious dogs keeping watch below. The one enclosing the homosexuals had a sign "Work Will Make Men Out of You" above the entrance gate, eerily reminiscent of Auschwitz' "Work Will Set You Free." "There seems to be an unusually strong emotional aversion to homosexuals in Cuba which Castro shares,"
Finally tell me you really "RESPECT" this???
The prudence of Khrushchev's decision was revealed the following month by Castro's second-in-command, Che Guevara.
"If the missiles had remained," he told The London Daily Worker in November 1962, "We would have used them against the very heart of the U.S., including New York.
We must never establish peaceful co-existence. In this struggle to the death between 2 systems we must gain the ultimate victory. We must walk the path of liberation even if it costs millions of atomic victims."
AND YOU totally NAIVE, IGNORANT people are concerned about MY INTEGRITY???
"War against the United States is my true destiny," Fidel Castro had confided to a friend in 1958 while still a rebel in the hills. "When this war's over I'll start that much bigger war."[33](Please note: Castro said this before any of the alleged "bullying" by the U.S. that leftists claim as the reason he turned to Communism and the Soviet Union.)
After defecting in 1964, Castro's own sister brought the unmistakable message to Congress. "Fidel's feeling of hatred for this country cannot even be imagined by you Americans," she testified to the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
"His intention -- his OBSESSION -- is to destroy the U.S.!"
