#1 I've got free health care too.

My wife has muled probably 500 lbs. of asprin, advil, sudafed and bandages through Jose M. over the past 4 years. Cuban health care is a ~~joke~~ catch as catch can deal. The party boys do okay the folks in the rural areas depend on luck, relatives, folk ways and el norte.

'Cuz he's never actually, you know, governed before.

(Brings to mind the old joke:

"Doc, once the cast comes off my arm, will I be able to play the piano?"

"Certainly."

"Great! I've never been able to play it before.")
