Alright I've had enough copying and pasting. I think I make my point clear to you capitalists, you'd think that living under a "evil communist dictatorship" would infact make Cuba's life expectancy low, however, they have a far larger life expectancy than most capitalist in capitalist countries around the world (I didn't even bother with mentioning parts of Africa and Asia), even though they are almost completely cut off from the rest of the world.

where did you get your information, because i have a source saying that cuba's Infant mortality rate was 6.0 per 1000. and that it was lower then the US with 7.2 per 1000.

what i just wont to know is, how come these are all estimates not "facts"?

[bush youth]

Interesting Site (http://www.theglobalist.com/DBWeb/StoryId.aspx?StoryId=2553) comparing the demographics of U.S. to Cuba.

The Cuban economy is known to be a basket case. The U.S. economy is 500 times bigger than Cuba's — and the average Cuban has an income 20 times less than his or her counterpart in the United States. And yet, we wonder: How does Cuba compare to the United States when it comes to health and education?
The information is similar. I hate to put up the Cuba vs. U.S. argument again, but I found it interesting showing what Cuba's like in terms of health and education compared to westernized countries.

[bush youth]

Certainly. the site shows that Cuba is better off in most aspects of health and education.
Just not by a landsilde, America has more money to spend.
