Here. Fidel congratulates Obama. Excerpt from the second article:
Doctors haven’t benefited very much, either, from Cuba’s health care “miracle.” Because they earn the equivalent of only about $20 U.S. per month, Cuban physicians have quit the medical profession in droves — turning instead to the only industry that offers them any degree of economic opportunity: the Cuban tourism industry. It is not uncommon to see former doctors driving cabs, working as tour guides, or waiting tables in restaurants and family inns in Havana.
People need to bear in mind that there is more to health care than health care insurance. The best coverage in the world is worthless without health care providers: doctors, nurses, lab technicians, and all the rest. Socialist schemes, based as they are on ignorance of human nature, remove incentives. Why would any one put up with the rigors of medical school, internship, long hours, malpractice harrassment and the like to work for the government?
