    How hard is it to find articles about how Cuban doctors are bad, somehow? I'm guessing it's extremely easy.

    EDIT: it's extremely easy.

        Late 2018 Bolsonaro kicked a lot of Cuban doctors out of Brazil, which immediately meant a lot of rural/poor/peripheral regions lost all medical services, because he didn't want to pay them "because Cuba". A decision that definitely killed and harmed a lot of people all by itself.

          The funniest bit on that was people believing that Brazilian doctors would go away from their luxuries and wealth in the urban centers to go fix this instead of the more sensible thought “i am pretty sure we have got these doctors from cuba because they did not want to do that”

      Even when you look up specific terms about their medical system (I was looking for purposes of enrollment down there) in a positive light, you get hit with so many of the 'giving everyone access to medical care is bad, actually' articles.
