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. Gadget |

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. --Tom |

It was the closest major regional healthcare facility to Skagway. The Canadian national healthcare system was not implemented until the early 70s. jay Sun Mar 21, 2010 |

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. -- I get off on '57 Chevys I get off on screamin' guitars --Eric Clapton |
