You might have read the stories about filmmaker Michael Moore taking ailing workers from Ground Zero in Manhattan to Cuba for free medical treatments. According to reports, he filmed the trip for a new movie that bashes America for not having government-provided health care.
Now, I have no expectation that Moore is going to tell the truth about Cuba or health care. I defend his right to do what he does, but Moore's talent for clever falsehoods has been too well documented. Simply calling his movies documentaries rather than works of fiction, I think, may be the biggest fiction of all.
While this PR stunt has obviously been successful -- here I am talking about it -- Moore's a piker compared to Fidel Castro and his regime. Moore just parrots the story they created -- one of the most successful public relations coups in history. This is the story of free, high quality Cuban health care.

Castro had to bring in surgeons from Spain to straighten out his previous operation by Cuban surgeons.

In before the FH ping! :-)
Fred is spot on!! Castro and Moore are small little men with small little...well, you know. They act big to compensate for that fact. ;-)
But..but...but...Michael Moore says..
Thanks, Fred.
Andrea Greenspan will be shocked to hear this!
He’s going to run, no doubt about it.
From Fred’s piece:
“...According to Forbes magazine, by the way, Castro is now personally worth approximately $900 million. So when he desperately needed medical treatment recently, he could afford to fly a Spanish surgeon, with equipment, on a chartered jet to Cuba. What does that say about free Cuban health care?...”
Fred, we need you, Buddy.
I have heard that Castro eliminated AIDS by tattooing and quarantining infected individuals, with the penalty of death for violating quarantine. Is there any truth to this?
Yep, he’s running.
:)
In before the Fredhead ping.
and he'll get my vote
- Cuban health care seems really impressive:

I wonder why people from all over the world go to the US for medical treatment instead of Cuba.
ouch... that’s gonna leave a mark. and yes we need Fred

Certainly there is vastly more EQUALITY of care in Cuba.
But “equality” is not “quality”. BIG difference.
