============================================
If you have seen Michael Moore’s "SiCKO" you have a quick introduction to the Cuban health care system.

Now See "SALUD! A film on Cuban Healthcare" (aka WeLLO)

SALUD! examines the curious case of Cuba, a cash-strapped country with 
what the BBC calls "one of the world's best health systems." From the 
shores of Africa to the Mississippi Delta "Salud" hits the road with 
some 28,000 Cuban health professionals serving in 68 countries, and 
explores the hears and minds of international medical students in Cuba- 
now numbering 30,000. Their stories bring home the complex realities 
confronting the movement to make health care a human right. Featuring 
Dr. Paul Farmer of Partners in Health, the subject of Tracey Kidder's 
Mountains Beyond Mountains. http://www.saludthefilm.net/ <== Interesting 
material on this site on Cuban healthcare and
a critique of US healthcare.
