A total of 94.8% of the pediatric population had also received this protection, which places the island among the ten countries with coverage of more than 90% of its inhabitants, the publication added.

Universal Ed, Healthcare, sovereignty, representative democracy.
Crazy thing is, so many Americans would give their "left one" for these basic human rights. Many democratic voters and representatives espouse these very things.
Sadly (imo), there's DUers who consider Cuba to be a veritable hellhole. Yet, upon query, the detractors know nothing about the actual country nor the people. Only right wing propaganda.
Sad. That.
Viva Cuba!
