BTW, I have had the opportunity to talk to cubans living here in Venezuela in the Barrio Adentro Program. They are cuban doctors working here.
At first they won´t talk to you , but once you gain their trust they´ll talk openly about the living situation in Cuba.
That free health care sounds good, but when they have to reuse gause, dont have sutures, doctors dont have a basic x-ray machine, it doesn´t look too good.Of course, if you are a foreigner in Cuba you get first-class treatment (like in the documentary Sicko).

Free education. Sounds nice too , but cubans only learn what the government is willing to teach them. And worshipping Castro is a huge part of the education.

Yep, sounds like a real paradise.
