    But this criticism leaves out a major part of the story: the policies Giménez has championed are the reason why Cuba’s #hospitals are collapsing. #US #EconomicWarfare has restricted Cuba’s ability to obtain medicines, #medical equipment, fuel and other resources needed to keep its #healthcare system running.

  7. One of the best summaries of what went wrong with #US #Healthcare. No longer available from the PBS website(s) as far as I can tell. So I've taken the liberty of writing a review and posting it here with links to the original #video.

    "Sick Around the World" (2008 #PBS #Frontline #Documentary)

    Conclusions...

    1) #Insurance companies must accept everyone, and cannot make a profit on basic care.
    2) #Everybody is mandated to buy insurance, with government paying the premiums for the poor.
    3) #Doctors and #Hospitals have to accept one standard set of fixed prices.
