    Wow! I was surprised by many of the Cuban government initiatives. Our government would look for corporate solutions. Thank you for this fascinating video.

    I think maybe we all can learn something from "rogue nation" Cuba;

    if my read sources are correct Cubans receive free medical care, just like Libyans did before the US invasion;

    my neighbor lady suffered a stroke 6 yrs. ago while she was vacationing on the Canary Island of Lanzarotte (if one is not yet aware the Canaries are under Spanish jurisdiction); she attributes her full recovery to the care she was given by two very young, very concerned Cuban doctors who worked for free to receive a scholarship-funded higher medical education under Spanish auspices-
