A Post Castro Cuba

Ran into an interesting article by Jaime Suchlicki in the Harvard International Review, notable as much for its analysis of present conditions as it is for zeroing in on the challenges that would face a post Castro Cuba. I warn you his prognosis is grim.

By the way, that much vaunted Cuban healthcare system-

Sanitary and medical facilities have deteriorated so badly that contagious diseases of epidemic proportions constitute a real menace to the population. Cuba’s health system, once the showcase of the regime, has deteriorated significantly, especially after the end of Soviet subsidies.

So where exactly did Michael Moore go? Was it a virtual tour?
