Level up: 32%, 36 Points needed | | The real free Cuban health care for Cubans Check out what the real free health care for Cubans is like. At the resorts, and places where tourists get to visit, they can have expensive health care with the best equipment, but the real Cuban people get this. The wonderful equipment manufactured right there is sold to other countries, and you don't see it here in the real Cuban hospitals. The Real Cuban Free Health Care

I alway do have to question the motives on a link like that. I think including their mission statement, to get an idea of what side of the fence they are coming from, always helps convince people of the site's accuracy and content.
As for Cuba in general, I will say, the one positive thing, I know is that no one starves there.

The Real Cuban Free Health Care | On face value, it looks awful, but then the website has an anti-castro agenda. Not to say I would accept an official cuban government web site either. The web is filled with biased sites and it takes time to filter out the political rhetoric from facts. "American Association for World Health has determined that the U.S. embargo of Cuba has dramatically harmed the health and nutrition of large numbers of ordinary Cuban citizens." Impact of the U.S Embargo on Health and Nutrition in Cuba
This could be viewed as political rhetoric as well.....
