Compulsory Cuba Healthcare Post of the Week
The following isnt surprising, seeing as how fidel castro uses his people as legal tender:
HAVANA, Cuba - May 10 (Adrián Leiva / www.cubanet.org) - The urgent care medical post next to the El Cerro bus station in Havana has been closed until further notice due to the scarcity of physicians occasioned by the wholesale shipment of doctors to other countries.Patients who used the medical post to seek treatment for asthma, hypertension and other ailments now have to go to the Antonio Maceo polyclinic or to the Salvador Allende or Joaquín Albarrán hospitals further away.
After the Cuban government started sending physicians abroad as both a propaganda measure and as a source of hard currency, medical services just double up on the remaining physicians. Lately, the situation has become exacerbated by the shipment of what some say may be up to 10,000 doctors to Venezuela, to cooperate in President Chavez' neighborhoods program. In return, Venezuela has been shipping 53,000 barrels of oil a day to Cuba.

It's called slavery.
The branding is mental.
The whipping is for real.

I read that Cagastro has also sent some 10,000+ teachers to his mini-me and that he is now receiving 80,000 - 90,000 barrels of oil. God forbid one of Cagastro's Mercedes runs out of gas.

Yes, they're teaching the kids to read. In an effort to increase literacy they are teaching Marxist propaganda. I guarantee you it aint Fun With Dick and Jane.
