Most of the analysis of our medical system points to the fact that
our doctors rely too much on technology and not enough on proven
practice and approach.
The article I sent from Earthlink shows this. (Oh the technology
does not make medicine better or increase health and longevity)
As with any field over reliance on technology takes out the human
factor (which is not always bad) and in medicine increases cost immensely.

As one with family from Cuba and some friends remaining, I can assure
you that Jeff W. has no idea about Cuba, considering his comments.
It's their health care insurance system and outcomes that are better
than ours, not the high tech gadgets and expensive doctors. The Cuban
government, thanks to US intervention and unnecessary embargos, is
oppressive, and the people are suffering from that. Government
oppression has not affected the affordability and quality of outcomes
in Cuba, which are more favorable than in the US, with insurance and
care universally available, unlike here.
When I figure out how to visit there legally, I'll find out more,
especially about the awesome beaches.
