Severely embarrassing the US government?

Or maybe just providing free high quality heath care to all its citizens?

You should at least do a search before making a snarky comment

> Cuba was added to the list on March 1, 1982, on the basis that it has a history of supporting revolutionary movements in Spanish-speaking countries and Africa

That's hilarious. It's after the CIA sponsored coups against democratically elected leftists, like infamously in Chile. So it's a problem when Cuba supports movements, but not when the US does it? Or was it just "fascism is better than anything even remotely to the left"?

Also, "when was the last time" being answered with the 1980s, when we're in 2023 is downright embarrassing.

I don't think that link reinforces the position you seem to think it reinforces.

You should read up on Operation Condor.

I've never been there, but my friend who's from Cuba says that hospitals, like all institutions in Cuba, more often than not lack the absolute basics.

Not a particularly high bar.
