Cuba's Free Health Care

From Babalu Blog, on Cuba's free health care system.
Every single time the island of Cuba and fidel castro's revolution are covered anywhere in the media one of the points always mentioned is Cuba's free healthcare. You can practically time it...I dont think Ive ever read an article about castro or Cuba where the "healthcare" isnt mentioned.

In a debate, the fact that Cuba has the most political prisoners in the world is ignored. The fact that Cubans on the island lack even the most basic of necessities is ignored. Tourism apartheid is ignored. Everything is ignored save for the free healthcare and 100% literacy.
There are also some eye-opening pictures inside a Cuban hospital. Check them out.
