Foreigners flock to Cuba for medical care |

Foreigners flock to Cuba for medical care
Fred Charatan , Florida
Foreigners seeking medical treatment are flocking to Havana, lured by
advertisements and lower costs. Cuban officials have said that 3500
foreigners came for health care last year.
"People with a lot of money are looking for our services," said Dr
Carlos Leyvsa, vice president of Cubanacan Tourism and Health. "For
them it's not an issue of price but of quality."
Cira Garcia is a clinic adjoining Havana's wealthy Miramar section,
which last year attracted nearly 1300 foreign tourists as inpatients
and thousands more as outpatients. Its website proclaims that it is a
"leading healthcare organisation for foreigners."
Cira Garcia offers everything from herniated disc repairfor $4750
(£3400) including anaesthesia and a two week hospital stayto laser eye
surgery and liposuction.
Dr Ramon Prado, the clinic director, said that its prices average
about a third lower than those in the United States. For example,
according to the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive
Surgeons, in 1999 rhinoplasty cost $3100 in the United States compared
with $1710 at Cira Garcia, and abdominoplasty ("tummy tuck") cost
$4198 in the United States compared with $2340 at the clinic.
About 80% of the patients come from Latin America and the Caribbean,
but the facility has attracted patients from as far away as Japan and
Finland.
Cuba's increasing promotion of health tourism has roused criticism by
those who see a two tier health system developing. In a country with
one of the highest concentrations of doctors in the world, foreigners
and Cuban party elite receive first class service. But ordinary Cubans
must make do with dilapidated facilities, outdated equipment, and
meagre medical supplies, in part because of the longstanding US
embargo against Cuba.
Cuban officials defend their system, however, saying that the $20m or
more that the foreign tourists bring to the island each year bolsters
Cuba's general finances and helps to support free universal health
care for Cuban workers and their families.

Yeah, blame the US as usual. But the embargo doesn't seem to be a
bother to those with sufficient money.

Your umbrage is noted. Cuba is no paradise. No thanks to a U.S.
embargo and our pigheaded Republican refusal to even recognize
Cuba -- though we trade with China and Vietnam. A country where
doctors only make $10-15 a month, but a country where everybody
has access to free medical care, where there are not millions of
homeless people dying in the streets.
Yeah, blame the US as usual. But the embargo doesn't seem to be a

You're not a bad guy, Jafo -- though you are an American neofascist.
To which is fashionable these days.
Have a nice day.

I'll agree that the embargo has proved to be less than a success over
the past 47 years and it's probably time to dump it, but unlike you,
I'm not blaming it for all of Cuba's ills. They've adopted a form of
government that itself has been less than successful over the past 90
years.
But then, with customary Brannie-Poo flair, you blame the entire
thing on the Republicans. Was Kennedy a Republican? Johnson?
Carter? Clinton? Which party controlled Congress from 1959-1994?
Like it or not, the embargo has been a national policy, not a
Republican or a Democratic policy.
A country where doctors only make $10-15 a month, but a country
where everybody has access to free medical care, where there are not
millions of homeless people dying in the streets.
And where is this country you refer to with "millions" of homeless
"dying in the streets"?
Yeah, blame the US as usual. But the embargo doesn't seem to be a

Yawn.

There is some trugh to this. Yes, Republicans. And Kennedy's
blockade is something history treats favorably. The neocon House and
Administration tightened up restriction on Cuba. Their family-friendly
***** plafform is hypocritically appalling -- because families can
only travel (thanks to your neocon nitwits) to Cuba only once every
five years. And the Flordia Cubanos want that changed... they
are speaking out.
Like it or not, the embargo has been a national policy, not a
Republican or a Democratic policy.
I know you think very highly of yourself, but here is an
example of utter JafoStupidity. The embargo was years ago.
The neocon are a bunch of cowboys sitting around breakng
wind for laughs (well documented).
And where is this country you refer to with "millions" of homeless
"dying in the streets"?
That inference draws attention to the millions of homeless Americans
(do you care") in the streets and those that die like dogs.
But true.

Wrong on all counts, O Professional Researcher. All of the
abovementioned Presidents were Democrats, as was Congress up until
the 1994 elections.
And Kennedy's blockade is something history treats favorably. The
neocon House and Administration tightened up restriction on Cuba.
Their family-friendly ***** plafform is hypocritically appalling

So end it, if that's what you want to do.

Ah, so we now travel freely to and from Cuba? We now trade with
them? I could catch the next scheduled flight from LAX to HAV?
Thanks for informing us, Branson; I don't think that anyone was
aware of this.

Typical. You make a stupid claim and refuse to back it up. Maybe you
*can't* back it up... like you can't back up so many of your stupid claims.
Doesn't ever stop you from making ever more, and ever more stupid claims you
won't (can't?) back up, does it.
Do you really think *anybody* buys that ***** of yours? Are you that
oblivious to reality?
Time for you to make another stupid claim you can't back up. Gonna try your

Poor Branson. You are so stupid you don't even realize how much you are
outclassed and out-gunned.
By the way, in your professional; research, did you ever find a quote of
mine to substantiate your ***** that I'm this fantasy "neocon?" Can you
quote where I have supported even one neocon position (whatever they are)?
No? Not even one?
I know you're desperate to beat me at something (anything!) someday, but
it's never going to happen. Not until you start being honest. And I don't
expect you to do that for a long time... as in when you grow up.
So let's re-cap. You'll whine about my nailing you for your hypocrisy,
dishonesty, stupidity and adolescence. All four in just a few lines, and so
easily substantiated!
It has been said that insanity can be defined as doing the same thing over
and over, expecting a different result. You keep doing the same stupid
***** over and over, yet every time, you get the same result: ridicule
and humiliation. So, are you insane? Or just stupid.
"I'll pick door number 2, Monty."
Your turn to say something stupid again so that I can ridicule and humiliate
you again.

little rudy Canola, since you get your tiny nuts off following
nme around posting your cowardly *****, take note: Google
newsreader doesn't have a spellcheck; I type fast and move
on (you know this); and I take responsibility for typo, spelling
and grammatical mistakes. No excuses.
If you can't deal with that, don't read what I write.

On to more important matters - your clan fled Cuba, right?
Branson,
Your paranoia grandeur is showing through again.

Foreigners flock to Cuba for medical care
Fred Charatan , Florida
Foreigners seeking medical treatment are flocking to Havana, lured by
advertisements and lower costs.
But not quality.

Hey, two outta three ain't bad! :)
Actually, people are probably better off going to India than Cuba.
A lot of surgery is done there, these days.

Better quality than they can get in their own
shitholes, perhaps. That's not saying much.
The terribly negative implication of the story is
mentioned, and you gloss over it: Cubans don't get
this medical care.
And you're *still* trying to gloss and hand-wave over
the crucial issue: Castro, El Caudillo Supremo,
*still* had to import his own medical care from a
market economy. Note that he didn't import it from N.
Korea, Red China, Burma or any of the more
communist-leaning former USSR states. He imported it
from a market economy.

Both India and Cuba have a lot of revenue treating and caring
for foreigners.
We need to improve our medical care because it costs
more to deliver than most other countries, and because
we are not reaching about 40 million Americans
-- those without any medical care at all.
Branson
Do you care?
