Cuba has a socialized healthcare system that provides universal coverage to all citizens. Doctors participate in community outreach programs to promote prevention. While clinics have limited equipment and flood damage, doctors are proud of the system's humanitarian achievements in providing care. Doctors are paid little but feel they are champions, not slaves, of the socialized medical system.
