Cuba has fantastic healthcare because they pile all of their resources into it.
You'd know that if you'd ever been there which you won't because you guys love to hold a grudge.
Their high standard of healthcare is also one reason why Cubans have a higher life expectancy than Americans.
It's everything else there that has the problems because so much goes into health, and of course the small issue of the embargo.
One thing I find absolutely pathetic about America compared to Cuba is how this country deals with maternity. In Cuba, when women approach the end of their pregnancy, care is provided in specialized maternity hospitals, to monitor and control the health of the mother, which also implies that of the child. Women get 18 weeks maternity leave at full pay.
In the US, I feel ashamed as a human being to see your women walking around (or should I say sitting around) 8 months and 3 weeks pregnant at work just so they can squeeze the most out of their measly three months maternity leave (which being America is unpaid of course). I would not treat a dog like that. I have even seen American women go into labor at work. That is a pathetic symptom of this feable excuse for a society I find myself currently living in. By implication, the value of motherhood and children to American society is nil. And that's backed up by your awful public education system which is severely under-resourced. This is a nation of immigrants because no-one can afford to be born here, and those that are are left stupid.
Sweden, incidentally, offers 480 days (16 months) maternity leave at 62% pay, which can also be shared with father (who has a dedicated 60 days).
England currently has 39 weeks paid, rising to 52 weeks paid from April 2010 (6 weeks at 90% of full pay and remainder at a flat rate (as of 2009 = £123.06) or 90% of your salary if that is less than the flat rate).
But why the heck should you pay so someone else should have kids eh? We wouldn't want to infringe on your freedom now, would we? Well, ever thought where the next generation of taxpayers and workers comes from, stupid? No, not Mexico. It's called social responsibility.
This is why this country needs Less God and More Government. For the sake of the women and the kids. If the Titanic had been launched from America, the men would have climbed in the lifeboats first, leaving the women and children to drown.
