all lies I posted videos showing what it's really like there, did you miss it ?



The real reason the USA ranks so "bad" is the definition of live birth is different than the rest of the world. In the USA, they consider babies born before 22 weeks a live birth, while in other developed countries they don't. They also don't count babies born under a certain weight as a "live birth" in other countries. The USA counts those as well. So counting those births and still only having two to four more deaths per 1,000 births is actually pretty good.

Cuba’s nightmarish hospitals
In Cuba, the only legal medical care is via the government-controlled system that pays doctors and other health professionals appallingly bad wages.

Amnesty International reported in 1995

In Cuba, there have been allegations in recent years that not only the criminally insane but also political prisoners have been sent to forensic wards of state psychiatric institutions where they are kept inunhygienic and dangerous conditions and where they are exposed toill-treatment either at the hands of staff or fellow inmates. In 1988 Amnesty International visited the Havana Psychiatric (Mazorra) Hospital in Havana. The delegation was permitted to visit one of the forensic wards – the Sala Carbó Serviá. However, the existence of a second forensic ward, the Sala Castellanos, was denied by a hospital official. It was this ward which was alleged to present harsh conditions and to be used for the punishment of prisoners.

Cuba hides it's sick away and has Potemkin clinics they take foreign reporters and UN visitors to. It's all a fraud ... it's even more shameful that liberals in this country will knowingly fawn over the fraud.

What we can learn from Cuba's health care system

There's a psychotic desperation involved in making such nonsense claims.

There are reasons why Half of Cuba men's hockey team defects.
