Socialism... Peru free health care marching away

Ironically other news reports indicate that nearly 25% of poor people I,n Peru still go to see shamen, and witch doctors. Now that right there is free health care for you. Anyone want to guess that our evil pay-for-service "greedy" system provides better care for even the poorest people in our country? Seems a safe bet to me.

At first I thought you were being sarcastic. Cuba? Really? Here's your reality check for Cuba. Most of Cuba doesn't have Ambulance service. People bring the sick to the hospital in wheelbarrows. If they do not bring them, then they die. Most of Cuba's hospitals have no windows, and no air conditioning or heat. If the weather is bad, or the weather is hot, the patients simply suffer. Further most patients are not protected from things like rats, fleas, or mosquitoes or biting flies. The average "doctor" in Cuba, has so little health care training, that a doctor coming to the US, doesn't even qualify to be a nurse at a private practice, let alone at a hospital or to be an actual doctor. We know this because Cuban doctors were sent to Venezuela, and they escaped being watched by Cuban government officials, and fled to the US. When they got here, their level of education and training in health care, wasn't worth anything at all. To claim that these "doctors" that don't qualify to be nurses, are giving Cubans the same quality of care that Doctors in the US do.... is a joke. Laughable joke. But it doesn't end there. Cubans do not have access to the most basic of health care supplies, such as Aspirin. Missionary groups routinely send bottles of Aspirin to Cuba, because the average Cuban will never see the rare pill in their life. We're talking about a pill that in America, can be had at any quick-mart petrol station for at most $4 US dollars for a bottle of 50 pills. Cubans can't get that, let alone the millions of other medications, that are completely unheard of in Cuba. That's good quality health care? No, and worse Castro knows this. When Castro needed health care, he bought a private jet, flew the jet to latin America, Brazil I believe, hired a doctor from Brazil, AND brought all of his equipment, medications, and even staff, back to Cuba to treat him. Lastly, the most of the reports that Cuban health care is good, is based on two things. One is government reports. So Castro says what the Cubans get is good? And we trust this? Like the Soviets saying that Russia is doing better and better, even though people were literally eating each other because of the lack of food. He lied. The second reason, is that Castro built a couple of 'show hospitals'. These are hospitals build specifically for the resorts. These hospitals are paid for out of the revenue from tourists. These hospitals are the best in Cuba, and still only provide basic care you would expect tourists would need. Basically people get hurt sometimes on vacation, and Cuba had to have such hospitals just to keep the tourists coming. But... as of 2012, Cubans are not allowed to use the tourist Hospitals. The hospitals are only for the tourists, who pay for their existence through their tourism. They are not allowed to treat Cubans. So no, Cuba does not provide even a tiny fraction of the quality of care the US system provides. Not even the smallest fraction. This is why when the World Health Organization came out with their list, I knew instantly the whole WHO ranking was a sham. To compare a country with the highest survival rates for all illnesses, to a country where the average citizen can't even get Aspirin.... is absolutely idiotic. The ranking was a complete joke, and so is WHO.
