Send some of those Cuba-trained doctors to the US.


Last I heard they were being treated like slaves in Venezuela and
they were begging for asylum in the US.

Cites?

My conversations with Cuban doctors in Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay,
Venezuela and Peru said no such thing. All were well educated, kind
and anxious to help society.

Pick a source you trust.

It was all over the news a while back.

Yeah, in the year 2000...

And it was two doctors.

Nor did the _single_ doctor in the 2007 article mention slavery. Where
do you get your prejudice, World Nut Daily?

Where is the slavery?

My statement stands as first-hand knowledge. The Cuban doctors I've
spoken to were proud of their profession and country while helping
others. It's amazing just how many and numerous they are. In many small
villages and towns there seems to be a Cuban doctor. You can't help but
run across them. I've seen them from the Northern jungles of Paraguay on
the Brazilian border to the remote Bolivian and Peruvian Andes.

Many, actually most I've encountered, are women.

From your google search string:


Cuban health professionals who defected apply for fast-track entry
to... Free with registration - Knight Ridder Washington Bureau -
AccessMyLibrary.com - Mar 9, 2007
Cuba has an estimated 40000 doctors, dentists, nurses and other medical
personnel working in 69 countries, including some 15000 in Venezuela.
...

Most go on to say that almost 100 medical personal, not doctors, have
applied for asylum in the U.S. under a program set up to lure
professionals from Cuba.

Whoop-de-****ing-do, 0.25% *medical* *personal,* not "doctors,"accepted
bribes amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars. So, again, where
did you "hear[d] they were being treated like slaves in Venezuela and
begging for asylum"?


I suppose if you think Cuban's are free and allowed to raom around
Venezuela unmonitored then what you just wrote makes sense.

What makes you think otherwise? Any first hand knowledge or just
unsubstantiated opinion?

The truth is that they are not. They can only apply for asylum if they
can escape across the border to Columbia.

Cite?

Cuban health professionals are being traded for oil and some that have
escaped report to being forced to campaign and promote Chavez.

Cite? Your own reports shows that only 0.25% accepted U.S. bribes to
relocate.

They aren't allowed to talk to the press.

Where do you get this stuff?

How many are in Venezuela against their will? How many is too many? 5%?
50%?

How many claims are you going to fabricate?

Or doesn't their will matter just as long as they are treating poor
people for "free"?

Let's see, Cubans working among the poor and indigenous without charge
are bad, much worse, than U.S. doctors denying health care to the poor
and elderly. What planet do you live on?
