2. $820 but the doctor only gets about $350

pretty decent for the families since I hear Cubans only make $20/month or so. Not that good for the doctor really. Think about it. They have to live in the Brazilian economy.

I wonder if this program is voluntary. Seems like they could increase contentment by boosting the salary rather than having the state getting 80%

It could be a much better deal for the doctors rather this human labor camp program. I wonder if volunteers a suspect since they may be more likely to defect.
