The myth of Cuba's glorious health care

Geez, with my recent post about Canada's socialized medicine, you'd think this blog is only about exposing the fraud of the left's socialized medicine utopias. However, since this blog is dedicated to exposing the intellectual vacuum of the left, that includes dissing one of their staples that they try to foist on us Americans..."free" health care.

Babalu Blog is run by a Cuban exile now living in America...Miami, I think. Anyway, he's got a piece that has been featured on numerous international (including American) prominent web sites. It has some photos that show how "sanitary" Cuba's "wonderful" hospitals are. If you are a liberal, you may want to turn your eyes away from the photos in the link, because it will raise your discomfort level in how you reconcile reality from your flawed perceptions. Cockroaches, people...cockroaches!

You should probably read some of the comments, too...especially from leftists who have never been to Cuba, yet fault the author (who is Cuban and grew up there before fleeing to the US for a good life) for not blaming the US embargo. Hey, you'd figure with Castro's net worth of about $550 million, he could buy some mops and bleach for the hospitals, at a minimum. And when a Cuban doctor exposed the world to the realities of Cuban health care...well, let's just say no one's heard from her in a while. Babalu Blog does a great job in painstaking detail in showing the world (those who actually care to open their eyes, anyway) what's real in Cuba.

For those who are so anti-American and myopic, ask yourself this: How many people do you see risking their lives to get into Cuba...hmmm? Elian Gonzales lost his mother, who literally gave her life so her son could live life as a free boy and man (before Clinton and Reno cruelly returned him to Cuba, thus rendering Elian's mother's ultimate sacrifice for naught).

Cubans risk life and limb to leave Cuba en masse. So if it was such a paradise, why do they want to leave? My guess is that liberals, who already think that everyone else is dumber than they are, think that Cubans are just too stupid to know how good they have it ober there! Sure, Cubans may have pestilence, famine, poverty, and nada rights...but hey! At least the unsanitary health care is FREE!
