Where do you want to go for your medical care? I doubt that there will be a market for medical tourism in Cuba.

That's misleading. The cost of medical care in America is exorbitant due in large part to the large malpractice insurance doctors take out. The value for each dollar spent would be a better indicator of health care. How much does a CT scan cost in the US? How much does it cost in Cuba? How much for a dental filling? I don't know the answers to those questions but those are the real indicators of medical care not raw money spent.
