Hmmm .....last I heard, Cuban doctors were showing the world how it's done.

Did you read that link you posted? Lmao
If you get past the first paragraph, suddenly there's really no praising and they talk about how bad health care is in Cuba and how many try to defect as they are forced into horrible conditions.
From that article:
"He said, “We were placed in slums with a high level of violence, under constant monitoring by the Bolivarian brigades [political police], who are supposed to offer protection but also report any suspicious activities and assure that we carry out our `revolutionary' duty, indoctrinating our patients to vote for Chávez. If we refuse to do so we are sent back to Cuba.”"
Bolivian police and Chavez arent Cuban doctors.
It also says that they're suffering from medical supply shortage due to US trade embargoes; and this is from a US government (capitalist) health board sonof course it's unflattering. Now google "cuban doctors Nobel Peace prize".
