Obamacare? Trumpcare? Why Not Cubacare?

Obamacare? Trumpcare? Why Not Cubacare?
by BRUCE MASTRON


Obamacare has probably saved my life, or at least made my declining years less painful and allowed me to work and stay off the streets.

But it certainly has flaws — flaws that a Republican Congress truly interested in not only saving money but improving health care could have easily solved with President Obama in the past few years.

But until we finally arrive at a single-payer or Medicare-for-all system, why not consider an approach that improves health care and moves us much farther down the road toward that ultimate goal?

All we need to do is sign a contract with Cuba in which Cuba sends over some of its superbly trained doctors — particularly its GPs — to provide health care for free to any American who wants to take up the offer.
