Yes. Cuba has a national health care system.
"Health insurance" as a business does not exist in Cuba. Cuba has a national health system that is free to all it's citizens, so insurance would have no purpose. Health care is dispensed on the basis of need.
You will receive far superior health care than in America.
Health care in Cuba is covered by the government. It has the the highest life expectancy rate of 78 years of age and the lowest number of infant deaths in the world.
Cuba? After spanish American War
The Cuban government pays for it. There are also a few other countries where the government provides all its citizens with health-care. The United States is not one of them.
The average salary in Cuba in 2011 was around $9,500 USD... This does not seem like a lot but keep in mind that health care, dental care, school (up to PhD), kids sports, etc... are all free in Cuba.
I think you answered your question. Cuba has no resources. Health care is provided by the government, but there isn't any! Everyone has free access to nothing.
Considering that its not legal to enter Cuba in the first place...and it's only accessible by boat...vaccinations aren't a necessity. Actually, you should get your shots there; they have universal health care. It is not illegal to enter Cuba, it is illegal to travel directly from the US to Cuba. Cuba has airports, 165 of them, it is not only accessible by boat, they even have their own airline, Cubana. Vaccinations are necessary no matter what country you travel to. They might have universal health care but that does not mean you will be able to use it. So, if you are planning on visiting Cuba take care of all your vaccinations and have a plan for your medical needs.
No, Cuba does have a few social programs that eat up funding, such as free health care and education.
