Oh and Locobot please have your children in the socialist paradise of Cuba, I'm sure its much better then the level 3 maternaty ward my wife was in  |
Well travel between our countries isn't exactly open otherwise I'd seriously consider it - no joke. The healthcare I'd receive there would be vastly superior to what I would receive here with no health insurance. Again, Cuba may not have "level 3 maternity wards" (whatever the hell that is) or $20 bottles of tylenol and yet they have a lower infant mortality rate than we do. So yes, in the case bringing newborns humans into the world the Cuban system is superior to our own.
