I am sure they were not listed in this study as a "wealthy" nation. They have a decentralized not for profit system based on clinic in neighborhoods with family practitioners. it is highly successful, completely despite the ridiculous embargo. China = most favored trading nation status. Cuba = pariahs. WTH?<BR/><BR/>I heard Dennis Kucinich discussing not for profit health care on the radio yesterday. I just went to a few Democratic contenders websites to make sure I was spelling his name right, and he wasn't even listed on some. Sigh.MomTFHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01561428064574541123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25541467.post-61127475945309262002007-02-23T23:50:00.000-08:002007-02-23T23:50:00.000-08:00Way to speak the truth mama. It's a crying shame, ...Way to speak the truth mama. It's a crying shame, a disgrace. The infant mortality rate in some US counties has got to be even lower than some "developing" countries. And a nation of uninsured children and their parents is beyond belief in 2007.<BR/>I remember when Castro invited a bunch of students from poor counties to come to medical school for free in Cuba, and then they would come back to the US to practice in their communities like a reverse peace corps.<BR/>The health indicators in Cuba, despite the embargo, are actually better in alot of areas than the US.<BR/>Aaahh crazy fucked up world.<BR/>I like those posters of a playground that say "And some day the military will have to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber, and schools will have all the books they need."<BR/>How much health insurance would one days spending on the war in Iraq buy?<BR/>And why is it that the US actually spends MORE on "health" than any other country in the world, yet people are poor and unhealthy and uninsured with no access to basic medical care.?!<BR/>Where does all that money go?<BR/>Insurance forms?!?<BR/><BR/>Hoping you get some coverage for your family.<BR/>Thanks for handing out the booby prize.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10647657234812583261noreply@blogger.com
