| Re: Media Bias, what I think. "You are told America cannot afford free healthcare, while it is readily available in my country (Britain) and indeed most of Europe, Canada and even Cuba, yet the richest country in the world cannot provide it's own citizens with comprehensive healthcare coverage." I love how Europeans distort American reality. While the U.S. does not have socialized medicine (and I am in favor of PARTIALLY socialized medicine) no one can be denied treatment at a hospital. Ask your Canadian friends who flock to American hospitals by the thousands to avoid mediocre government-run care.
I've got news for you about Cuban health care. First, it's not free. The doctors who make $20 a month are paying for it.....the patients, who make the same $20 a month are paying for it. Their employer, the Cuban government deducts from their paycheck all those wonderful benefits. Sorry, there's only $20 left.....but who needs to eat?
Second: The average Cuban can't even find aspirin.....and all those wonderful hospitals? Sorry, they are for tourists who need new breasts, fat lips, tummy tucks, wrinkle stretching and butt cushioning. Guess where they come from. |
