As a Canadian, I can travel to Cuba, and did, and I made a point of examining their health care system (without getting arrested). Michael Moore is addicted to truth abuse and fact pollution, and he is uttering egregious falsehoods. The Cuban people are extremely poor ($20/mo). I visited a hospital close to the University of Havana. In Canada or the US, it would be closed that day. I have seen cleaner stables, by far. Health care staff are desperately trying to help people, with almost no medication whatsoever. Everything is in short supply, including soap and light bulbs. People commonly beg for aspirin on the street, and if you go to Cuba, take a bunch of aspirin, it will be very warmly received.
