Meanwhile Cuba, a country the US is doing all it can get away with to destroy/subsume, has a stellar health-care system that's free.

  Cuba has a totalitarian government that exercises total control over the media and does not allow independent validation of its healthcare statistics. But yes, based on the unverifiable numbers put out by the state media organs, healthcare in Cuba is very good.

      Whether that is good or bad depends on their cost of living.

    This isn't an "according to state media" thing. I know people who have gone there for specialized care in the past (I live in Jamaica) and only had good things to say. We also had quite a few Cuban health professionals here for decades until the US forced us (and several other Caribbean countries) to end our agreement a couple months ago (news says other things of course, but none of it adds up). And I actually also know a few Cubans living there.

      I've heard anecdotes. Diego Maradona. If it's anything like the regime Cuba is modeled on (Russia) treatment is good in the capital city where Prez lives, and non-existent in the regions.
