Rubbish. Try looking at the facts.you clearly are not cuban. how about[and i lived as well as my whole family lived in cuba so i know this as a fact ]the fact that infants who die within days of birth are listed as deaths by premature birth or that they died during birth so that the statistics can look g ood
From the BBC: If you want quick proof of how well all this works, consider Cuba's health indicators.
Its life expectancy and infant mortality rates are pretty much the same as the USA's.

Originally posted by shavixmirMaybe so, but why would one of the migrants that I picked up in the Florida Straits, Jorje, and a graduate of Cuba's most prestigious medical school and making 50 dollars a month, risk his life to come to the U.S.? I'll tell you why?: a 900sq. ft. apart. shared with his wife and two children and his inlaws, all the reward from Castro, while he lives in a palace. I would be willing to bet you your membership in the Communist Party that if one HMO were ever allowed into Cuba, their health care system would become a catastrophe...
That's because they're the people who don't like him. Otherwise they wouldn't be migrating now, would they?
You do know that even after 40 years of crippling embargos that Cuba has a better and more comprehensive health system than the US, don't you?
Originally posted by flexmoreI saw things "first-hand"...like dehydrated Cuban migrants on the verge of death had it not been for us stumbling on them in open seas. While I don't refute Cuba's esteemed medical establishment, it doesn't mean crap if people are starving or are unhappy. We sent a man to the moon for the benefit of a "small step for man, and a large step for mankind", at the same time that riots were breaking out in Detroit and Los Angeles in 1969.....so, to answer you question, the only other thing I see Castro as doing well would be dying for the sake of his countrymen (and may God forgive me for saying that!) so maybe, just maybe, Cuba could become a free nation...
hey chancre ... you claim fidel did some bad stuff ... did he do anything good?

If you want to engage in some actual debate in the Debates forum, try to actually make some sense. The ramblings of a semi-literate making claims about Cuba aren't serious evidence of the situation in Cuba. Anybody can claim anything on the web; his accounts don't pass the believability factor to me - too many absurd claims. And you apparently don't know what the word "disingenous" means.
[hey chancre ... you claim fidel did some bad stuff ... did he do anything good?I was there first hand,so was my entire family , some still are and no not much good is going on in Cuba
