Everything I posted is true. I would not call the US HC system a disaster, complicated yes, world class facilities and staff yes. A good portion of the population of Earth is born and dies and never really sees a doctor in their life.I’m not sure that’s true, but our HC is most certainly a disaster.LOL Cuba is a disaster. They have medical tourism for wealthy foreigners in nice clinics and their doctors don't get paid dust. Regular Cuban's access to "healthcare" is run down clinics and hospitals that have very limited staffing, medicine, supplies. The Cuban government sends most of their Doctors abroad and they confiscate most of their salary.Cubans not only get free HC, but I’m betting their HC is better than ours. The profit motive in HC really fucks up care in the US. Remember? The third leading cause of death in the US is death by doctor.I agree with that.
It’s most ironic that the world’s richest nation can’t provide HC for it’s citizens but much of the rest of the world can, including poor nations like Cuba.
To be honest, I think that there's been a sort of Trump revolution that has brought that truth to a great many of the American people. But that's not to suggest that Trump would have ever done the job. Just that he promised to do it.
And yes, it's quite amazing what Cuba, a resource poor banana republic has been able to do for it's people.
