Did you know that life expectancy of Cubans is higher than that of Americans?

It’s most likely not. Doctors in Cuba self-report aggregate statistics and are penalized if they underperform. That tells you all you need to know.

Independent studies have shown giant anomalies in other metrics that suggest the favorable metrics are being fudged:

Also a lot of reports that women are pressured to get late term abortions if there are any potential issues observed with the fetus, as this will ensure it doesn’t count as a mortality and not hurt that clinic’s stats.

Careful with that argument though, some of this is based on US propaganda.
