"LH: I know you do not agree, but if the large corporations you fear do move into Cuba (McDonalds, Wal-Mart, etc.), I think the life of the average Cuban will improve. Why? Because of the infusion of capital, and the creation of jobs. If the average Cuban earns enough, he can pay for his own health insurance, or get coverage provided by the Wal-Marts, etc."

Doug, I have been living in the USA for three years now. My Company provides health insurance and my coverage was a lot better back in Canada. If Health care is the major issue, Cuba, STAY COMMUNIST!!!

Cubans are way better off economically than their neighbours in Haiti and Dominica. The streets are much safer than Jamaica. Cuba and the US would both benefit with the lifting of the sanctions. But Cuba would be well served not to let the corporations take over from the communists.
