How do you define better? Cost? The U.S. leads in advanced diagnostics (MRI, CT scans), surgical techniques, pharmaceuticals, and access to the latest therapies. (Cuban hospitals often lack basic supplies, equipment, and medications.) Care? Patients in Cuba often face rationing and shortages of drugs, even common antibiotics or painkillers. The U.S. has issues with affordability but generally ensures availability once in the system. Doctors? Cuba trains many doctors, but the government sends them abroad for revenue, leaving gaps in domestic care. Advanced treatments? The U.S. is the global leader in pharmaceutical development, medical devices, and innovation. “better” might imply higher quality of care and outcomes for complex conditions, where the U.S. clearly outperforms. |
