>> Canada ranked 32nd, so hardly excellent. Cuba is ranked higher.
Having broken my hip in havana, I have first hand knowledge of the Cuban health care system. It was dirt cheap and excellent. In fact it was so cheap it didnt breach my insurance excess, so couldnt claim it back.
However, because I could pay the paltry sums required, I got service the average cuban could not afford or have access to.
It was 70 quid at a private clinic, for an X-ray, Scan, no waiting, all with the latest german kit, a consultant orthopaedic surgeon plus an extra 20 quid for the crutches at a diplomatic only supplier of medical equipment (10 dollars bribe required) Again unavailable to the locals due to the US embargo.
