Default Return to Cuba Would Take Time!

The major cruise lines all have plans to call on Havana and other Cuban
port as soon as they are allowed. The company running the ports has a
very long history of owning and operating cruise ships, and is ready to
handle them.


This will be the biggest factor in Caribbean Cruising, as well as an
immediate major tourism booster for Cuba, before they can build more
resorts.

We might even get a preview of what universal health care will be on a
shore excursion in Cuba,
as many Cuban doctors drive cabs after their hospital work to pay their
bills.

The better places to see what universal health care is (not that what we
in the US will be getting is anything close... but at least it's a
start) would be to visit almost any of the other countries in the
civilized world... like Australia, Canada, Ireland, Germany, France,
Japan, Italy... most of Europe.... heck, even Iraq has universal health
care... and the US pays for it.

You know what they say... if Canadian health care was good enough for
Sarah Palin when she used to cross the border to take advantage of it...
it should be good enough for us.

In the 60s, while living in Skagway, she did, apparently, use
healthcare from Whitehorse, YT... It was the closest major regional
healthcare facility to Skagway. The Canadian national healthcare
system was not implemented until the early 70s.

God you still tossing around that chestnut? She was around 6 years
old at the time, it was about 10-15 years before the current system was
in place and the Canadian doc was the closest by about 4 hours. Might
try looking at actual facts occassionally.
