I was watching the Michael Moore documentary about healthcare, and when he went to Cuba at the end I nearly cried. (hexbear.net)

It's amazing. It's such a fantastic system, and they manage it with so little funding comparatively. After seeing how bad it is in America, and also how good it was in the UK at the time the documentary came out, all I could think of was what's to come.

Capitalists want nothing more than the end of Cuba, and it's miraculous socialist healthcare, and the UK is quickly eroding away at the NHS. I seriously may have to consider learning Spanish and getting out of here if this place keeps getting worse and worse.

Seeing the happiness on the faces of these Americans being treated in Cuba for pennies, the gentle way the doctors acted towards these people as humans rather than as meatbags of profit.

I'm not an emotional guy, but it really nearly had me for a second. What a fucking stupid world.

also the fact that US embargos make it really expensive to get complex high end medical equipment in cuba as it has to be shipped from China really shows Cuban perseverance in the face of outright malicious opposition. Like really we're embargoing the cancer treatment of Cuban children wtf guys

Most sanctions are murderous just like that. It's violence with plausible deniability.
