Cuba bears the U.S. by the most common numerical metrics for health care. Life expectancy, for instance.No it doesn't. Your wishing it did doesn't make it so.
And there is no blockade, there is an embargo. What goods Cuba would buy from the US are widely available in the rest of the world. Cuba can go to China and buy.
Any company, anywhere in the world, that does any business with Cuba is subject to forfeiture of assets for all U.S. subsidiaries, and all its employees are subject to prison terms in the U.S., under the Helms-Burton Act. Not to mention the constant risk of terrorist attacks on merchants shipping goods to Cuba. Any country that trades with Cuba nevertheless charges huge premiums to cover the additional risk.
