Doug R, I hate to break it too you, but it's not significantly better here in the US for people like me who are disabled and don't have much or any help from relatives, than it is for retirees in Cuba. In fact, people like me aren't allowed to get help from relatives.

I don't have a car. I don't have access to public transportation. I don't have access to dental care, and I badly need it. Fresh vegetables are a luxury for me. I sometimes run out of food and money before the end of the month. And there are medicines and kinds of medical care that I don't have access to.

Cuba might be an improvement for me. I think they, at least, have dental care.
