@pooleroes - do Cuban doctors always go abroad to work because they're "fed up w the conditions they work inside Cuba"? Is an earthquake zone in Pakistan or Haiti, or a tsunami region in Indonesia, or a gun-ridden slum in Caracas really worse than Cuba?

Maybe those docs go for a variety of reasons, e.g. experience, compulsion (as in most jobs, there's an element of compulsion)...... Who knows, maybe there IS a bit of genuine international solidarity and sympathy with the victims?!

@pooleroes - Call it what you like but when a country trains a neurosurgeon, who then takes his skill abroad, to earn better money, how does it benefit the country that trained him? This is not a problem exclusive to Cuba; and neither is the USA the sole beneficiary of "brain drain" - the British NHS is full of African and Asian support staff, doctors and nurses. No doubt other Western European countries with colonial history (e.g. France) also do well out of skilled labor immigration.

@londonscot1 when a cuban neurosurgeon has to go on a bicycle to his work, and earns the quivalent of 15 USD on a month of work, and he decides to go elsewhere to earn a better life, I don't call it brain drain, I call it an alternative not being offered by the cuban state. When doctors go outside cuba to help people in need, no matter how altruist this sounds, these docs are going out coz they are fed up w the conditions they work inside cuba. it's all taking and giving.

[londonscot1]

@pooleroes - One final point. The Cubans I spoke to - including one or two sick and tired of Fidel Castro - seemed rather better informed about and interested in world politics than some of my compatriots, and indeed Americans, with their 24/7 news channels. Maybe your intellectual curiosity about the world has its roots back in the Cuban education system?!

[londonscot1]

@pooleroes - I don't doubt for a second that you've enjoyed your new life to the full but in my country, the UK, further education is being priced out of reach of all but the rich. Same as in the States. This is regressive and self-defeating. And surely you don't assume that a choice of information sources means freedom and truth. Surely you see, from your experience, that money buys power and influence that the "free" man in the street can only dream of.

[londonscot1]

@pooleroes - Reading your posts, I see that you are slightly more open-minded than some of your compatriots and / or US opponents of the Cuban regime. But you need to go further, e.g. it's hard to see how Cuba causes "unhappiness to several million.... OUTSIDE Cuba" - by providing free healthcare in 80 countries, e.g. in Haiti even before last year's quake? In Bolivia, Venezuela, Pakistan etc? By starting oil wars in the Middle East? By ignoring the annual UN vote against the US embargo?

[londonscot1]

@pooleroes - I respect your life's experience and opinions. I certainly don't think Cuba is a paradise; I just don't see an unmitigated hellhole either. All I am asking is that you apply the same standards to Cuba's achievements as to the USA. If rich America, after 230 years, still hasn't provided universal healthcare, why beat up Cuba?

[londonscot1]

@pooleroes - Re: Western Union. Their limited presence in Cuba relates to the very minor concession in the US blockade that permits a certain amount of remittances. Please don't portray it as anything other than a tiny, tiny gesture on the part of the US government, which still (for example) tries to hurt third parties who deal with Cuba.
