Health care in Cuba

We all hear how great medical care is available for anyone for free in Cuba but this is not true by any means. People like Micheal Moore who visit Cuba and are shown the hospitals are not shown the ones that the real Cuban people have access to, they are shown the ones that the party elites and tourists with money have access to. Check out the photo essay at The Real Cuba: Here is just one photo -- this is the sink where Orthopedic Surgeons wash up before working on their patience.

The photos are sickening - people lying in their beds with excrement, flies and roaches in the Operating Rooms, electrical wiring hanging loose, very few medical instruments (despite Cuba being a major exporter of Medical eaquipment). Posted by DaveH at June 17, 2007 7:37 PM
