Huh????

That's what I thought when I read this:

HAVANA, July 14 (www.cubanet.org) - Some former members of the Association of Combatants of the Revolution have been accused of abusing the membership cards they kept when they didn't renew their membership.

"Many of those who left the association did not return their membership cards and now are using them even to use public washrooms free of charge," said an association leader in the Managua section of the capital.

The association consists of former members of the armed forces.

Current members have until August 20 to provide photographs for new cards.

You mean in a country with free healthcare and 100% literacy, and where the average doctor makes a measely $15 a month, people have to pay to pee?
