Dear why do you have to go to Cuba instead you could have drive to any Canadian city to find out it's free here too plus maternity leave of 1 year as well as the father will get a year which he could give it to the mother she can stay home almost 2 years and she will get maternity insurance plus the mother will get child allowance until kid turn 18
As America's population gets older and older, in next 2 decades the US government will have to spend more and more on social welfare and healthcare for the elderly. HOPEFULLY this will force the US to dramatically slash its military budgets and pull out its military bases around the world. Even though military spending is only about 2-3% of the American GDP, it is about 1/3 of its yearly budget and this ratio is rising in the short term.
May I ask (I'm from Austria): how can an average earner even pay for health care? at 21,000 dollars a woman practically has to start saving for the birth from the moment she knows that she is pregnant.
In the U.S. people literally sit in parking lots when in need of care and consider just going home instead of into hospital emergency care because just walking in, the cost is 100s and ambulance ride is about 1000 dollars if needed from home or accident.
I am so sorry you have only the points of view of only one side... let me leave mine here... My wife and I had two boys, the cost of hospita was $24K... we didn't pay a penny out of our pockets, Medicare did ( it is a government program that covers this for low income families)... the entire pregnancy was paid for our monthly $62 dollars family insurance. I personally had to go several times to the emergency room, yes they asked if I have insurance, twice I didn't have one, I got a bill on my mailbox for around $3K I did fix a monthly payment with the hospital fo $19 dollars a month, more than affordable with my basic income. In another ocation I had another $1800 medical bill without insurance I made another negotiation and I paid $500 one time and that was all I paid. But this people here are trying to sell others to cuban utopia, BS...!!! I am from there I know first hand how it is.
I think the real issue is price gouging by capitalist corporations. Eventually, even if you have insurance, someone still pays an outrageous amount for those prices. If the hospital charges almost 250,000 for surgery and medicare covers it, Eventually, somebody has to pay the hospital the 250,000. If government is doing it the population is still paying for it like socialism. The issue is that it grossly adds to the debt. The issue is that in capitalistic america, prices as I say are grossly inflated.
@@alejandrocabrera3380 The first time on my own I needed a small operation and I assumed that my general practitioner was sending me to a specialist inside of my network. Boy, was I wrong. I ended up being charged $65 thousand dollars for anesthesia and 13 stitches. Meanwhile, when I went to Cuba on a university trip, a buddy of mine didn't pack sneakers and played basketball barefoot, cut up his feet and needed to go to the hospital. He asked them if they needed his insurance card and the Cubans working there started laughing and they even called in workers from the next room so he could repeat what he had just asked them and they started laughing too. Cuba is not a utopia, it is a real place in the real world, and most of the things that plague my 20 and 30 something peers: unemployment and underemployment, student debt, medical debt, lack of health coverage, couch surfing, etc are not a problem at all in Cuba. They are a poor country and still they can solve homelessness, healthcare and education. It just shows a difference in priorities.
Imagine being Cuban where you dont have to pay anything to see a doctor, coming to the US and needing to see a doctor when you get sick and get charged $1000.
You forgot to mention that, unlike Cuba, Americans over under 5 and over 50 aren’t denied lifesaving treatment because they are deemed useless to the state and people don’t wait 2 years for a dental checkup or to get basic healthcare. Big miss there, folks.
And they've been under an embargo for 60 years. Quite an accomplishment.
A healthy and well educated populace is an asset to Society.
I like how Cubans are already expecting that the price of US healthcare and education will be very expensive.
I want to go to Cuba.
OMG I wish they would spread some of that oppression here!!!
Oth, for just $210.00 almost anyone in US can buy a handgun legally and take his own or others' life. ¡Land of the free!

You don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m guessing you don’t live in America.
Education and healthcare should be consider as a right for all people in every democratic country.
That is democracy. Give to the people their rights
High cost is meant to keep the people poor n be dependent.
The US needs Socialism.

I bet if you go around asking an average us-ians how much medical care costs in Cuba they wouldn't be able to answer that question.
It's a guessing game, friend. US citizens would be baffled to hear of "free" healthcare (tax-funded), call it communism and carry on.
I must go to Cuba and China one day.
TOO MUCH = FACT
SOCIALISM IS JUST A SUPERIOR SYSTEM
Only when done correctly. America should look to China for tips on how to improve their healthcare and education systems
