The Real Cuba

Watching Sicko you might come away thinking that Cuba was a healthcare paradise, where all medication costs five cents.  Didn’t you see those doctors?  How attentive, and calming, telling the patient over and over that everything was going to be okay.  (This despite the fact that the woman clearly spoke fluent Spanish.  Gee, it’s almost like that reassurance was for the viewer at home.  But I digress.) So, is this typical Cuban medical care, or is it the type of care that Castro’s propaganda factory doles out when a willing stooge like Moore comes along with his cameras?  Via Reason we see The Awful Truth.

[T]hese pictures, published in the Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter, … were taken at a nursing home in the Cuban province of Pinar del Río in June 2004.

This is the real Cuba.  You fans of Sicko:  MICHAEL MOORE IS LYING TO YOU.  If you want to see more photographic evidence of the wool he is pulling over your eyes, click here.
