Thanks for throwing that out, because I feel like this is something I sort of knew, but also somehow always slips out of my mind. Maybe some motivated thinking going on? I do think, and maybe this is part of what you mean, but part of the good performance by say Cuba has nothing to do with say access to innovative cancer treatments, but just like cheap, easy medication and frankly nutrition. I also think I have an impression, and maybe this is motivated thinking again, but that some of the trade off some countries have made is between these sorts of expensive, low impact interventions, vs cheap high impact interventions. Which seems like probably the right tradeoff as a country, but isn't the straight forward better across the board story that I think gets told sometimes
