Crossing the picket line, digitally or physically, is not supporting the striking workers.

That is an excellent costume for Halloween. I'd definitely give him something at the door.

You are deflecting from the question I asked you. Anyway … trying to stay on the topic of a tourist in Havana. I was speaking as a tourist about the medical system in Cuba. I had first hand experience, as a tourist, that wound up being admitted to a regular municipal hospital for something serious - and in reflection with total honesty - I'm glad I was in hospital there. It was great (well as great as a hospital stay can be).

Repeal the Helms-Burton Act, end the embargo and conditions on the island will improve immensely. If improving the material conditions of the citizens in Cuba is actually what the person on here asking about possible medicine shortages, is actually concerned about.

Are you looking for something to complain about and criticize? I am stating facts about health outcomes from the Cuba health care system. They are, generally, better than the USA. Moving on.
If you are genuinely concerned about the supply of medicines in Cuba - which is more of a problem because of the USA government trade embargo than it is with the Cuba government - do something about it. Write your Congressperson and get the Helms-Burton Act repealed. It's a stupid and cruel law.
And what does having to pay back something, that someone else paid for, got to do with any endorsement of anything? Do you believe in basic fairness? If I pay for you to learn something, and then you move somewhere else to use it, how does that help me? Reimbursement would just be ... basic fairness.

Several people have already spoken on here about the higher (in some cases much higher) population level health outcomes in Cuba versus the USA. The general level of health in Cuba is better than the USA - higher life expectancy, lower infant mortality, lower obesity rates etc. Given the huge inequalities within USA health care this can not be a surprise to anyone. And a comparison between Cuba and its neighbour Puerto Rico is apples and oranges. Can we move on from this now?
In terms of medical supplies, and high tech medicine. The biggest problem with these is the USA government's trade embargo against the island, and the pressure the USA puts on other countries to prevent trade relations and supplies. If you're concerned about medical supplies write a letter to your Congressperson and Senators to repeal the Helms-Burton Act (1996). Cruel and stupid legislation.
In terms of being able to leave the Island, I expect that the government would want people that left, to pay market rates for the tuition free education they received to become nurses and doctors. And that seems reasonable to me.

Hmm, interesting. That's not what I was told by Cubans. And not what I experienced when I was in hospital with 'regular' Cubans. Just a regular neighbourhood hospital, I was the only foreigner in there. It was different, families were everywhere and often brought meals, to share, and felt more 'social' that my experience with hospitals here. But even as a foreigner it was free. Drugs are probably scarce, one of the effects of the continuing USA boycott and embargo on any kind of trade with Cuba. But still, Cuba does maintain better population level health outcomes that the USA, in terms of infant mortality rates, life expectancy and obesity rates (and no it's not from a food shortage). Certainly the health system in Cuba is less two-tiered than the USA system is. If a two-tiered health care system is a concern of yours, you must be up in arms about the for-profit health care system that completely dominates in the USA.

Havana is beautiful. It's sad seeing the admin once again make it tougher to visit.
While cruise ships might now be out, if you can find a way, visit while you can.

I expect almost all are gay, some may be bi. The dancers/strippers are almost all straight.
