If she wants to go to Cuba that’s her business, not yours. Hopefully you are just as adamant against, Sanders, AOC, and the rest of the Socialist who are slowly taking over our country.

BTW, I’m an American Cuban, born and raised in this wonderful country. In 1959 the year Castro rolled into Havana I was visiting my grandparents. My uncle who was a high ranking government official for Bautista, sent an escort to get my mother, his son, wife, and me to the airport. Less than a week later, my uncle was executed by firing squad, and my father in prisoned for 30 years.
I never saw any of my family in Cuba ever again.
So yes, Cuba is an oppressive country, who’s government tortured and murdered thousands of its people. I would never go there until the c*******t socialist is gone, even though I don’t support going there, I don’t have the right to insult anyone for going there.

Thank you for you perspective Cookie, and oh so true….you don't destroy a snake by feeding it.

This post was an offer to go to Cuba on a tour. It wasn't an invitation to discuss the politics of a foreign country.

Not accusing anyone of hypocracy; just selective judgement for some. Saudi Arabia is a big issue, to me. Starving and seemingly purposeful bombing of a high percentage if children as targets is a repetitive activity for them in Yemen. And using US-made armaments in the process. The Cubans got nothing on us, in that area, since Congress refuses to stop selling such arms to the Saudis...or Trump defending the Saudi murder of a reporter. The Cuban people suffer for the restrictions we apply on them, not their leaders. Yet they are no more guilty of excesses applied by their government than we are by ours.

So we are to allow the Iranians to take control of the Mideast, I see. Sometimes we have to work 'with' the better of two evils, SA or Iran, the biggest exporter of terrorism in the world; Like comments credited to FDR about Somoza, "yes he's a S O B but he's our S O B"....Fidel was worth ~Billion Dollars when he died, how much went to the people. The people suffer because its a totally repressive and brutal Regime

You know nothing about Cuba, before the revolution, it was run by a brutal dictator supported by the USA, it was Americas play ground for gangsters, p*******es, and other d*****ts, and as for children dying, in the USA people die because they can not afford medical care or the drugs to keep them alive. Cuba has some of the best Doctors and Surgeons there are and the don,t have sick people that go into schools with high powered gun and shoot dozens of kids every so often.
Before shouting about how bad it is, go and see for yourself, then comment.

I often hear people, usually Liberals, tell of how people die in America because they cannot afford medical care. In reality there is already public law that prohibits a hospital from turning away any sick person because they are unable to pay. I*****l a***ns have for years been crossing our Southern border only to get to an American hospital to have a baby that can be an American citizen. Not one has been turned away that I know of. So in a few words, WTF are you talking about? Care to give us some proof.

Our government's policy on Cuba, badly influenced by Cuban expats, is helped to keep Castro in power so long. The best way to to open up the society in Cuba is by having more involvement, not less. The more the Cuban people get a taste of a progressive society the less they'll put up with the current regime.

Lucky you. I think it is horrible what this administration has done to prevent a free exchange of people and thoughts between the two countries. I sent you an interesting shot from a shop window in Venice, two wine bottles, one showing the infamous Italian f*****t and one showing Che Guevara. I hope you have a fabulous time.

Seriously AncientDave? Please try an objective look at the h/c in Cuba and not your penchant for Socialism....Cuba's healthcare system is like George Orwell's "Animal Farm." All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. The result is a two-tiered system where the haves (foreign guests and Cuban insiders like Castro and high government officials) experience fine care and the have-nots (everyone else) have trouble finding aspirin....it survives on volunteer doctors from around the world.

Who do you think financed all the madrasas around the world teaching fanatical jihadism and from where the 9/11 terrorists came? Saudi Arabia is the biggest exporter of terrorism. Did you know that the people of Iran are slowly returning to the original religion of Persia (Iran), as old as, if not older than Judaism? That religion is Zoroastrianism which was replaced by Islam when Muslims conquered Persia. Zoroastrianism does not believe in conquering people and waging holy war. That is the religion of Saudi Arabia.

Do hospitals treat over a course of years people with cancer, people with diabetes, people with heart disease? Do they provide the expensive medicines these people need, year after year? Will a hospital replace your ruined shoulder or knee free of charge?

Wow, an interesting discussion on that has veered sharply from photography to a totally, repressive, brutal dictatorship. I agree that anyone who wants to go should go and has the right to go but please don't tell us its a Garden of Eden or a Socialist Utopia, its not, is a hellhole....anyway ya'll enjoy, outta here, enough politics on the TV, time to avoid that also.

However, good luck Ronichas on you trip and hope you have some fabulous photo ops...be safe, most tourists are

In a word, in my experience, yes they will. Some hospitals farm out the treatments to county hospitals but nobody goes untreated. As a LEO in the 1970's I have seen people with no money being treated in hospitals.

Yes I have heard for years that people in America are dying on the streets because some hospital won't treat them. While there may be some isolated case (I can't speak for every single person in the country) people are taken care of. If not hospitals there are free clinics where care is given.

Have you researched any of this or is it just the standard Liberal Democrat fare you are listening to?

I am not talking about *emergency* care that hospitals and doctors are required to provide. I'm talking about chronic health issues. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1490134/
