The same guy who stated that Cuba has better health care than the
USA.

Imagine that.

How do you know it's not true as your gov. won't let you go and see
for yourself? Cuban health care is free to everyone. Even you if you
could get there.
You are another of the brainwashed.

Free does not equal good.

Health care in Canada is free also, but we see a significant number of
Canadians in the U.S. for care.

For example, there are fewer than 200 MRI machines in the whole country of
Canada (and probably none in Cuba). We have more MRI machines in my CITY
than in the whole country of Canada.

Free is better than *"it's there but only for the wealthy".- Hide quoted text -

That;s another lie, often repeated. Any indigent person in the USA
can walk in to an emergency room and the hospital must treat them.

Only to the point of stabilization - without requirement to treat the
patient to extent of preventing an early death by a treatable condition
that is not "acute". (Indigent patient can come into an ER with a heart
attack, gets treated to survive that specific heart attack, and can still
kick the bucket from heart disease shortly after being discharged.)

And if the patient is "uncovered", the treatment that the patient can
get is often of a lower quality and often delivered on a less favorable
timeline.
