Why Aren't Millions of Americans Going to Cuba for Healthcare?

[debbiedowner]

My question is, how does the OP know there aren't any Americans flying to Cuba for healthcare?

I encourage you to head to cuba for your hysterectomy....

Because men in other parts of the country unlike where you're from don't have a uterus, ovaries, and cervix. So put your big girl panties on and go to bed.

In the Great State of Texas we dont name our men Debbie.

But you do brand bull horns on your mens ass right after being neutered. Great State lol

I guess their healthcare system opted out of kissing the ass of Big Pharms the way Obamacare did. While some of their drugs are cheaper, the availability of healthcare isn't good. There are waiting lists for MRIs and other things. Some have fought to come to America because some treatments are unavailable there. Canadian healthcare doesn't cover treatment in other countries. If you are visiting the US from Canada and fall ill or get injured, they will only cover so much and you have to get your ass back to Canada. Also, those working and making huge salaries get treatment not available to retired or low income people. Leaders often head here for treatment, just like leaders from all over the world. Mayo hospital in Rochester, MN, is a preferred place for so many leaders of socialist/communist countries. The citizens have to settle for whatever care the government is willing to give them but the dictators are always above all that.

When foreigners come here for treatment, are they enrolling in insurance plans? Is the Sultan of Brunei enrolling in Aetna to get treatment at the Mayo Clinic? No. They pay cash.

Right. They pay for treatment that is not available in many countries with socialized healthcare. And the leaders are always incredibly wealthy and can get anything they want or need. The health plans in those countries do not allow the average citizen to access what the wealthy leaders can.

Just got to the love the Conservatives who love Big Brother telling Americans that where we can- or cannot travel to.

Nothing says 'small government' like the government telling you that you can't go to Cuba.

Yeah. 3000 pages of government regulations is what real freedom is all about!

Mortality rate, infant (per 1,000 live births) | Data

Child mortality statistics

On child mortality, we found a few data sources that are generally considered credible. According to the CIA Factbook, Cuba infant mortality rate is indeed lower -- an estimated 4.76 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2013, compared to 5.90 for the United States.

Take your Havana and shove it up your ass... lol
Think the Cuban healthcare system is ideal? No cigar. Not even close.

 

[bripat9643]

How come their country's nationzied health care don't pay for their citizens to come to the USA and get the best health care possible?.

Because there is no need to. We trail most First World, single-payer countries in nearly every health metric there is.

That's utter bullshit. Just compare our cancer survival rates with thoes European welfare states.

The Myth of Cuban Health Care

 

[bripat9643]

I think where the US excels in medical care is in the treatment of diseases and illness. If I had a brain tumor, I'd rather be treated in the US than in Cuba.

The US excels in treatment of symptoms because it's more profitable to treat symptoms than to cure diseases. If a drug company produces a cure for a disease, that means they can't keep selling the treatment of the symptoms.

A cure works just once, but treatment of symptoms can last an entire lifetime...and thus is the problem with for-profit health care.

Bear513 just posred the sratistic that prove the US is best at curing cancer. That's "CURE," not treat the symptoms. As always, you're totally full of shit.

The Myth of Cuban Health Care

Damn, from your link..




Then there is the real Cuban system, the one that ordinary people must use — and it is wretched. Testimony and documentation on the subject are vast. Hospitals and clinics are crumbling. Conditions are so unsanitary, patients may be better off at home, whatever home is. If they do have to go to the hospital, they must bring their own bedsheets, soap, towels, food, light bulbs — even toilet paper.

For years the left touted the Cuban healthcare system as being superior.

Link?

Michael Moore made a documentary about it.

Well okay- so to be accurate "Michael Moore touted the Cuban healthcare system as being superior"- not the "Left"

You hate Michael Moore?

For years the left touted the Cuban healthcare system as being superior. Yet a year after Obama allowed Americans to travel there airlines cancelled flights because the planes were always empty.

Is everyone in America healthy or was the left just spewing more BS?

Millions would if they could afford it.

So middle and upper income people can't afford a $400 plane ticket but $2,000 a month for insurance?

They lied to you when they said there would be no math in this thread.

You think that Cubans would just sell their health care to Americans? I don't think so.

Some Canadian hospitals thought of catering to medical tourists and their citizens said "We bought and paid for this hospital and we pay to keep it running. If you have open spots for treatment, you take someone from the waiting lists and treat them. You don't sell them to foreigners.

I expect Cubans would have a very negative reaction to Americans wanting medical treatment, given the way your government treated Cuba.

When did the Cuban government ever care about what Cubans want? Do you imagine they wanted to be sent off to Angola to kill people they didn't know or care about?

They obviously care more for their people than the US government does, providing them with a better education system and a better medical system than you have.

Incidentally, that right wing rag linked to up thread is in the business of discrediting anything to do with the left, and especially Cuba.

People come from canada all the time for healthcare in the U.S.

You sure about that? And if they are coming, are they enrolling in insurance plans or are they paying cash?

 

[The Derp]

Right. They pay for treatment that is not available in many countries with socialized healthcare. And the leaders are always incredibly wealthy and can get anything they want or need. The health plans in those countries do not allow the average citizen to access what the wealthy leaders can.

So, at the end of her life, Margaret Thatcher was kept alive by the British National Health Care System.
