"Cuban officials said they were reducing the prices on a range of basic goods, but may not receive more toilet paper supplies until later in the year.
Cuba does not currently have the raw resources to produce its own supplies of toilet paper, says Reuters.
The Cuban economy has been seriously affected by last summer's hurricanes alongside the global recession. "
Later in the year?!
Michael Moore assures us that Cuba has the bestest medical care, though. Just bring a phone book or corn cob.
Still, it makes me wonder why a dying man doesn't rush down there for cancer treatment. Hypocrite, much?
After all, the overwhelming evidence on nationalized health care speaks volumes:
1) Thousands of surgeries may be cut in Metro Vancouver due to government underfunding;
2)Canadian Doctors Agree Canadian Health System Imploding;
3)Canadians visit U.S. to get health care
Finally, from 2005, CBS News warns Canadian Health Care In Crisis:
Free And First-Class — If You Can Wait.
"The patient wasn't dead, according to the doctor who showed the letter to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. But there are many Canadians who claim the long wait for the test and the frigid formality of the letter are indicative of a health system badly in need of emergency care.
Americans who flock to Canada for cheap flu shots often come away impressed at the free and first-class medical care available to Canadians, rich or poor. But tell that to hospital administrators constantly having to cut staff for lack of funds, or to the mother whose teenager was advised she would have to wait up to three years for surgery to repair a torn knee ligament."
Ah, the joys of gub'mint rationed health care.
