What is so damn difficult to "get" about the Cuban segment in Sicko?

[txprog]

Oh, they say, Cuba actually ranks lower in the WHO healthcare rankings. Moore gets the facts wrong. His movie, his whole being, is dishonest.

Well, we should all be embarrassed that it's so close. We should be embarrassed to be Americans when confronted with this information. A poor third world largely isolated little country has a healthcare system that produces outcomes almost as good as the biggest, baddest, richest country on the planet. What here is so freakin' hard to understand, to "get"?

Nothing really. But to "get" it means that you have to admit that when it comes to so much in health care, we SUCK; so let's avoid, criticize, obfuscate, whatever. Anything but the truth.

Wait, the truth is that we're actually better than Cuba. Yes, we're better than Cuba. So it isn't our healthcare that sucks, it's Michael Moore.......
