The US attack on Cuba's health
CMAJ 1997;157:1510
See response from: A.F. Kirkpatrick
The remedy for Cuba's problems is simple -- free elections, not the pro-totalitarian propaganda presented in "The US attack on Cuba's health" (CMAJ 1997;157[3]:281-4 [full text / résumé]), by Dr. Anthony F. Kirkpatrick.
The only "attack" on the health of Cubans comes from its totalitarian regime, which is incapable of producing wealth. Only the US maintains a trade embargo on this dictatorship, which can purchase whatever it wants elsewhere -- if only it had something to trade in exchange.
Fidel Castro and his communist hierarchy are well provided for in their own exclusive health facilities, even as the population suffers.
