The life expectancy rate of Cubans was published by our own Central Intelligence Agency if you failed to notice. Not all communists die young.

Yeah, let's copy the Cubans. They really know how to live.

Cuba also claims to have no prostitutes, but all those fat Italian and German men on the beach with adolescent Cuban girls aren't there just for the Cigars. I would take with a grain of salt any information that comes out of Cuba, even if it is on the CIA site.

Would you want to wait six weeks to see a doctor? That would happen if we went to a universal healthcare system. That's what is happening in Canada. Universal healthcare means fewer doctors! One of the main reasons people decide to become doctors is the money that will be made. Remove that incentive and fewer people will decide to become physicians.
One of the reasons we have the best healthare in the world is because money drives research, which leads to new treatments. Universal healthcare would eliminate research because private drug companies, and other private healthcare companies, would lose profitability. Places with universal healthcare can only survive with the breakthroughs made in systems like ours. If we go to universal healthcare the whole world will suffer.

All National cuban information is first filterated through the governemnt which needs to keep a fresh face in order to keep trade deals and govenremnt loans comeing in. In other words, alwasy take governemnt information, espeailly from the poorer ones, with a grain of salt.

The consequences are irrelevant. It is a matter of liberty. I shouldn't be constrained by the forces of government to pay for others' healthcare. Collectivism is immoral, except when I can choose not to partake.

Imagine an HMO with 300 million clients... run by the US government. That scares the hell out of me, and I don't have health insurance.

Do cubans really live as long as we do, or are the weak and ill killed to skew the statistics?

I have no problem with universal health care as long as you pay for it.
I shouldn't have to pay for someone to go to the doctor because they are either "Stupid, Lazy or on Welfare".

It's not just Cuba.
Insurance companies won't let it happen.

because in america, everyone only cares about themselves. :) j/k, but that's what people's arguments against universal health care sound like.
