12. I am Cuban-American. (A real one, born in Cuba not Miami).

I visit my family often, freely and unfettered, using the extra privileges Cuban-Americans get, whereas Americans need special approval.

Health care in Cuba is very good. Do they have lots of leading-edge modern equipment? No. Because the US's cruel extraterritorial sanctions limit Cuba's Ministry of Health from purchasing said equipment. This is huge.

Because of this, Cuba responded with health care focusing on more preventing mal-health, starting at a young age.

Bravo to you for recognizing the points in your post.
