It's amazing. It's such a fantastic system, and they manage it with so little funding comparatively. After seeing how bad it is in America, and also how good it was in the UK at the time the documentary came out, all I could think of was what's to come.

Capitalists want nothing more than the end of Cuba, and it's miraculous socialist healthcare, and the UK is quickly eroding away at the NHS. I seriously may have to consider learning Spanish and getting out of here if this place keeps getting worse and worse.

Seeing the happiness on the faces of these Americans being treated in Cuba for pennies, the gentle way the doctors acted towards these people as humans rather than as meatbags of profit.

I'm not an emotional guy, but it really nearly had me for a second. What a fucking stupid world.

      I think the through line is that neoliberal capitalism has eroded everything to such a point where people flip to violent fascist outbursts. Worth pointing out that the fascism is coming from wealthy bored suburbanites like those that did Columbine.
