    Made me laugh, too.

    I at least read wiki on Cuba. Their health and education systems looked pretty good to me, at least for a third world country subject to sanctions.

    Conservative Utah decided to house their homeless population a few years ago. It saved them so much money as compared with paying for frequent hospital visits, that it more than paid for itself. There is a conservative argument for providing the basics for one’s population.

    Apparently I've missed your solution. Perhaps you could go into more detail? THe only solution I"ve seen from republicans over the last however many years has been to cancel the ACA. That solution doesn't seem to improve the ability of people with diabetes or any other disease to get medicine at a more affordable price. If I"m wrong on that I'd love to hear about it.

    Castro may have been a dictator, but he was one who actually improved the lives of most of his people. Our continuing need to punish Cuba just makes us look petty--especially when we're sucking up to the likes of Putin and the House of Saud--who regularly assassinate their opponents. Bernie has the courage to be honest.

    All those people risking their lives to get away probably just needed someone to explain their best interests to them.

    Castro was terrible.
    Which makes it even stranger that Cuba has affordable medications and we do not.

    What do you propose we Americans do to fix a broken system?

    I don’t accept your premise that it is broken.That is overstatement.

    Okay, I actually was going to add, "if you think it is broken" so your point is well taken, and I can see why you are labeling it overstatement.

    Do you feel that the current state of affairs represents a problem that we as Americans should come together to solve?
