Cuban Healthcare Realities

A favorite moonbat myth is the wonderful healthcare available to all in the island hellhole Fidel Castro has made out of Cuba. Few note that healthcare is free in prisons in the USA too. The difference is, in Cuba, the whole country is a prison. Another difference is that the healthcare normal Cubans receive is flat out awful (hat tip: A Western Heart).

If you're a foreigner with hard currency, you can get acceptable medical treatment even in Cuba. If you're not, you'll find yourself in a facility like this:

Don't forget to bring slippers.

You also need to bring your own sheets.

To get there, just take a communist ambulance:

Here are some pictures from the Hospital Clínico Quirúrgico Joaquin Albarran in Havana:

The next time you're sick might be a good occasion to thank God for capitalism.

And Hugo Chavez wants to emulate his buddy Fidel. I feel so sorry for Venezuela, even as I boycot their Citgo petroleum products. Then again, they voted for him...

BTW, VH: I was watching Moonbattery last week, but didn't see you blow a horn on your 1 year anniversary! What gives? You've got a lot to be proud of with this site, my man! Live a little! ;-)

I meant, of course, blogiversary... Far as I know, you and Mrs. Van Helsing have been happy for beaucoup moonbat-slaying years!

Gee, I wonder if Junior or any of the other tools who showed up a couple of weeks ago will dare defend the glories of socialism in this thread.

Hey Happy Blogoversary.

Be sure to help me celebrate mine Feb. 1.

I do not intend to do so quietly.
