And I hear they have that freedom of speech too

See! I promised I wouldn't disappear completely. I just wanted to point out this "I never thought of that" post from Megan McArdle at Asymmetrical Information. She points out how strange it is that Cuba is often referenced in the health care debate in this country. After all, it is a totalitarian communist country! Are any of their health statistics verified by independent researchers or do they come straight from the Castro administration?
