"Cuba is poor because of the socialism that provides the "free" medical care.Cuba is poor because of the socialism that provides the "free" medical care."

It provides more than just the medical care. There are other countries with free medical care that aren't poor. So your thesis is flawed.

CJ, > Unless you are trying to make the claim that Cuba is poor because of its medical system, then this is a pointless argument.

Cuba is poor because of the socialism that provides the "free" medical care.

There is no free lunch.


There are many other reasons for Cuban poverty welll before you can put the blame on socialism. Not only to you all have a weak grasp of what socialism is but you all seem to use the term to cover all the problems in this world. Its not true that socialism caused the bubonic plague; its not true that socialism made GW Bush so dumb; its not true that socialism caused al Qaida to attack the WTC; its not true.........

Cuba should (and is) applauded for providing medical care on par with the US DESPITE being so very poor and deprived. They are just barely below our standard of care according to the WHO.

The question isn't why is Cuba's care as good as ours, it's why is OURS the same as Cuba's?
