Yes, the book on Cuba's health care sector that I mentioned earlier,
written by a midwestern academic who was not a Marxist, describes Cuba's
astonishing leap from third world to first world medical care in one
generation ....all the while offering free care and training to other
third world countries. I especially remember that in the wake of the
Chernobyl disaster, Cuba treated well over 100,000 people for radiation
sickness and burns. What did the U.S. do? It flew 40 kids to Disneyland.
