Locke Foundation friend Humberto Fontova writes here about the allegedly fine health care system in Cuba, with its low infant mortality rate. Fontova shows how utterly bogus that statistic is and tears apart some true health care “disinformation” (Michael Moore’s idiotic film Sicko) with some smuggled footage showing what Cuban hospitals are really like.
A century ago, Cuba was a comparatively prosperous country. It would have done much better if it hadn’t had a kleptocratic military regime in power until 1959, but still the standard of living in Cuba was better than in most of Latin America. A half century of socialism under Castro has turned it into a backward, impoverished nation that’s still ruled by a military kleptocracy.
