This is something people here either choose to ignore or can't understand. "Cuba has free healthcare" -- at a very high human cost. When the government controls all resources and gets to make all decisions, it's easy to put all that into a free mega med school for the world. The USSR had an impressive space program but people were dirt-poor and oppressed.

Today the country is so decapitalized hospitals are in ruins and there is corruption at every level because doctors earn so little.
