Articles like this, unlike the embargo, are actually useful. $8.6 billion in service exports is a huge factor. The average payment to Cuba is $350 – the article states $150 to $350, but this gives a substantial surplus to the state. I’ve been saying, though I don’t get the sense that people understand or believe, that Cuba practices state capitalism, not Communism. Did the USSR, which was 25x the size of today’s Cuba, make over $200 billion in medical services exports revenue? Of course not. This misunderstanding is part of why Americans have gotten nowhere with the embargo – they aren’t looking at it as Cuba, Inc., and focusing on the value proposition.
I think the claims of poor qualifications of the doctors in this article are erroneous. As for the people needing to bring food and linens to hospitals and clinics, so what? The medical care is free. Why, in a country were milk costs $16 a gallon (I saw this with my own eyes in stores), would the hospitals stock up with (very expensive) food, when their budgets are so low?
