[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Luckily, we didn;t need to visit any hospitals or need to see a medical professional.  The Cuban people we spoke to were very happy with their healthcare however and claimed that in Cuba they have found a cure for diabetes and lung cancer.  I have no clue as to whether or not that is even close to the truth.  [/quote]

I'm Cuban and have lots of family there. Anyone who tries to sell you on the Cuban health care system (or anything Cuban for that matter) is brainwashed or more likely afraid of speaking out. It's truly sad but sadder that Americans go there and think they are seeing the real Cuba. [/quote]

Our friends were stationed at Guantanamo Bay for 3 years. They just returned back to their assignment in DC a few months ago. They had lots of interesting stories to tell, including how Cubans would swim pretty much every week to the base, thinking that they could get to the US via the (now eliminated) Wet Foot, Dry Foot policy.  However, WFDF didn't apply to the base. Those Cubans would be sent back to Cuba within a week.

There are some Cubans who have lived on the base for 50+ years.
