... for 1.3 million people until September. Thats $40k per person for less than 6 months of health insurance. Most countries spend about $5-6k per person per year for universal healthcare.

And the neolibs go wild celebrating yet another massive transfer of wealth.

Because you make your way into every topic about politics sooner or later.

We'd rather let people die than put insurance executives out of work.

I thought about getting it but said "nope" when I seen how much it would cost a month, They wanted almost $600 a month because of my preexisting condition. Now, how the fudge is that affordable?

Remember being explained COBRA at my work for the first time and being like "why the fuck would anyone spend so much money to continue their work insurance".

This is literally giving money into the insurances pockets.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_Cuba

In the past, books, newspapers, radio channels, television channels, movies and music were heavily censored and clandestine printing was highly restricted. Also until recent years, internet access was limited for the vast majority of Cubans and mobile phones were quite rare, with most citizens not having been allowed to use them. In recent years, this has changed with the Cuban public having easy (but often expensive access) to the internet and mobile phones with little apparent filtering taking place.
so afaik there is no 'great firewall' like in China or something. Censorship is rightly a serious concern but considering how badly the CIA fucked with Latin America for all the 20th century I am a little sympathetic towards them blocking American media

But the ethics of Cuba's media handling or whether a "people's democracy" is actually a democracy at all isn't the point, the point is how a country embargo'd to hell and back like Cuba can have a strong healthcare program while the nation with the highest GDP in the world has had no leader since Carter who expressed interest in a healthcare system that actually looks after all citizens

The information in Cuba is very tightly controlled by the government there. The people are poor, and the information they do have is either from underground markets so it's extremely incomplete due to poverty, or it is highly curated to favor Cuba.

they are sorta giving people an internet so their poverty doesn't collapse them like Venezuela, but it's only as part of China's closed network I would guess. Or even more interesting, their own closed network with a massive firewall to censor information or topics/sites.

@Doe @David1988

Honestly you guys need to pay more attention to what actual Cuban refugees from Cuba say. I've spoken with plenty and you can google for commentary and look at exposes/documentaries on conditions in Cuba.
