TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Americans who get their medical degree in Cuba would be prohibited from practicing medicine in Florida under a bill passed by the House.

The measure is aimed at students who accept scholarships from the Cuban government to attend the Latin American School of Medical Sciences in Havana. About 150 American students are currently enrolled in the school. They would be prevented from getting medical licenses in Florida if they were to move here.

The bill passed 107-3 today. It now goes to the Senate.

1. What is wrong with this state???
Do they learn anything different in Cuban medical schools than US medical schools? This embargo is fucking ridiculous. I hope the Senate has more common sense than the loons in the House.
