Lying Jerk

It seems that a Reuters reporter isn't part of the crowd "acclaiming" Michael Moore's latest garbage, SICKO. He was able to dig through the pile of crap Moore's new documentary presented and see the light at the end of the tunnel. Although I do not agree with some parts of the article, there are some good parts in there.

In the article the reporter writes:

But the hospital where SICKO's patients were treated is an exception in Cuba, where patients of many other hospitals complain they have to take their own sheets and food.

The building with a majestic high-ceiling lobby was meant to be Cuba's central bank when it was started by U.S.-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista. Completed years after Castro's revolution, it was turned into Cuba's top hospital.

The 750-bed Hermanos Almejeiras is Cuba's main hospital for heart and liver transplants with a staff of 500 doctors and 800 nurses.
You are absolutely correct. Many Cubans have to take a lot of the essentials when they go to Cuban hospitals or clinics. In the U.S. there is no need for that. Everything is already there. Not many Cubans can attend the hospital where Moore took the workers to get treated.

Here's a picture of the hospital:


Pretty nice, right? Too bad not all the hospitals in Cuba, if any, look like this.

This is where Michael Moore should have taken his workers to get treated. He would have seen the health care system "heralded around the world" as one of the best. This is what free health care - The Real Cuba.

Also in the article:
Cuban health officials say they have given priority to preventing disease by renovating a network of 498 neighborhood health centers across the island that bring health care closer to people's homes.
I have one word for the Cuban health official - DUNGUE !!!!
