Canada

Thanks for links, I asked because you came across as knowing more than I.

The Cubans I have met didn't talk very negatively about their homeland, just that the US embargo's cripple their country and so life is harder than what they see in rich countries, and so wanted more.

We have some subsidized enrollment in Canada too, but in a communist system its not about subsidizing a for profit system by application approval, its about providing it to all as a service.

As for cancer treaments mine was head and neck cancer (all free in Canada) but it was old medicine techniques of blast and (hopefully) recover. Cuba with non profit pharmaceutical had come up with a "cure" for it but not available in USA or Canada because of the stupid politics and restrictions.

I'm not purporting they are a utopia, but I think USA media paints a dictator regime propaganda, while doing the exact same thing themselves.

Political scientists characterize the political system of Cuba as a single-party authoritarian regime where political opposition is not permitted.[12][13][14] There are elections, but they are not considered democratic.[15][16] According to the V-Dem Democracy Indices, Cuba is the second least democratic country in Latin America.[17] Censorship of information (including limits to internet access) is extensive,[18][19][20] and independent journalism is repressed in Cuba;[21] Reporters Without Borders has characterized Cuba as one of the worst countries in the world for press freedom.[22][23]

If this is the comment you meant, then its not really a good one, you are describing the current US ADMIN.
