We have a 21st century precedent - so why not?

The US must no longer live in fear of free healthcare and tuition for Cubans and Cuban medical doctors providing free health care to the Gobal South that exceeds that of all G8 countries combined.

Oh the SOCIALISM, it breaks your heart to think of such an abomination to the capitalist freedom-loving U.S.!

Better to starve and genocide them into submission.
