Cash-strapped Cuba will require visitors to buy health insurance if they want to
enter the country, according to a new government measure disclosed on Saturday.
Under the measure, which takes effect in May, the insurance will be sold
by foreign companies approved by the Cuban government or by Cuban firms at ports
of entry to the communist-led island, the government said in the online edition
of Cuba's Official Gazette.
The measure decrees that tourists, foreigners with temporary residence in
Cuba and Cubans living abroad who return to visit will have to be insured.
It exempts diplomats and representatives of accredited international
organizations. The cost of the insurance was not disclosed.
(This is the kind of health care system those on the left want us here in America to copy. What does forcing people to buy healthcare insurance sound like to you? It sounds to me like Obamacare. Read more on this news item
