Healthcare is the only thing Cuba used to do well. How did they fuck it up so much?
Edit: Read the article. It’s an epidemic of a new disease (for Cuba). Any healthcare system would be overwhelmed. And the article is seriously overdramatic. I’m not making light of real people who are actually dying, but the article tone is jarringly melodramatic.
Things are about to get worse thanks to the US neocons disrupting oil supply.

Is the situation in Cuba really this dire?
The US embargo is severe, their electricity problems are severe. Their hunger problems are severe. Now this. Poor souls.
To expand a bit, the US embargo makes it so third countries don’t sell to Cuba. E.g. French firms no longer sell equipment and service needed for maintaining the electric system. Even if Cuba can afford it.

When Venezuela became closely aligned with Cuba, it once again benefited from external support similar to what it received during the years of Soviet backing.
Today, Venezuela is being held accountable for its own policy failures, and there is no longer a financial lifeline through preferential economic agreements into the island and makes blatantly evident the shortcomings of their model.
What policy failures is Venezuela being held accountable for? Who and under what authority is holding Venezuela accountable?
