the barrios to treat the poor. They are afraid of the poor, and simply ignore them. THAT is why countries have asked for Cuba's help. Why the #### else would they go, if there were already sufficient doctors for the massive poor populations?

Since you apparently haven't bothered to read any of the articles written upon Cuban doctors, it has been well known for decades that the Cuban system clearly reveals that the doctors who seek to practise medicine in Cuba are in it because they seek to help the healing of their fellow human beings. They are in it for love, as they freely say, to heal, not for prestige, or the big bucks.

There actually IS a totally different way of living and thinking for far more people than some seem to realize. They have chosen a life of meaning.
