Cuba's universal health care system is seen by many as a world model. Neighborhood clinics and municipal hospitals provide free treatment, including laser vision correction and cosmetic surgery to fix deformities. HIV and AIDS drugs cost nothing. Most clinics make do with outdated equipment and a shortage of supplies. Yet the country has a higher ratio of doctors to patients than the U.S., and Cubans live longer than we do.
The New York Times was so impressed with this communist propaganda that they eventually hired Comrade Jones! It appears the New York Times always has a Walter Duranty or Herbert Matthews reporter on staff.
