Why would they turn to a communist country to help them with healthcare?
I thought communism 'didn't work'.
Turns out that a single payer, socialised, universal healthcare system is the cheapest and most efficient path to quality healthcare.
All it took was most of the world proving that for decades, yet still a significant portion of the human population are dumb enough to believe a privatised profit model could improve things.
For the immensely wealthy it's at least self serving. It's the poor people who parrot that shit who I worry about.
Are they just hiring Cuban physicians for pennies?
Communism is incredibly helpful if you are a capitalist and want to pay slave wages to its refugees.
Communism also got to space first and got a person up there first. Communism had the biggest armed forces in the world, the most nukes (which are expensive to maintain and not use, so communism was bleeding money but didn't care as it was beating the duck out of capitalism). Communism had many problems but folks also forget that communism is capable of great things and can do things easily, such as providing their own people, with ease.
It's the dumb ass central planners that fuck up shit. Get rid of the choke points Putin place by Russia style authoritarian communism and shit turns ugly. People need to see what worked and didn't work in communism to better understand how it will improve their lives and at what cost.
I mean, Cuba is a mess at the moment. I don't know that this proves anything other than that Italy's pivot to private healthcare and defunding public health services is fucking disastrous.
Cuba was destabilized economically destabilized by the US tbf
Cuba has never been successfully destabilized by the US, though we've certainly tried. The US embargo has done some economic damage, but that's different from destabilization. However, the largest part of Cuba's economic problems have been due to Cuba's own economic policies.
Economic policies such as?
Have you never looked into Cuba's system of central planning? It's positively archaic.
