Desde el 2001, el gobierno de los EEUU bajo Bush [junto con otros Republicanos y Democratas] firmaron un convenio con la Cuba de Castro para aquellos estudiantes de bajo recursos que quieren estudiar medicina.
La condicion era que los estudiantes tenian que regresar a los EEUU para ejercer en los barrios marginados donde los medicos entrenado en EEUU no quieren ir. Incluso son tratados como graduados de colegios de medicina de EEUU.
Todo parece bonito pero hubo una epoca cuando existia estudiantes de EEUU sin oportunidades y fueron a estudiar la carrera de medicina en Granada, Republica Dominicana. Muchos regresaron y tenian que examiner otra vez para revalidar su titulo y aun fueron puesto en los barrios marginados para hacer el internado.
Muchos superaron y han aportado a la comunidad que lo rechazo. Jamas olvidare cuando el Gobernador Celeste de Ohio rechazo los graduados de Granada y Republica Dominicana en los 1980’s. Hubo otros estados que hicieron igual incluyendo la Florida.
Fui uno de esos estudiantes graduados de la Republica Dominicana aunque estoy ejerciendo la esfera administrativa . Apretaron y aprobe la revalida pero lo hicieron dificil. Los que ya estaban en internado tenian que revalidar de Nuevo su titulo aunque aprobaron la revlaida Antigua [algo que no tiene que hacer los “bendecidos” de los politicos de EEUU/Cuba].
Resolvi con examinarme en la esfera administrativa donde lo aprobe con 92%. Con eso, mande lejos todos los que querian hacernos la vida dificil. Aun hubo gente graduados de Republica Dominicana y otros paises pero las autoridadaes estadounidenses ven los otros graduados con malos ojos.
El Gobierno de EEUU debe acatar a las leyes existente y ser justo en el campo de salud en vez de hacer politiqueria con eso. En eso veremos.
I am often reminded about the confrontation between Castro and Bush, or other US Presidents. But there is a growing awareness in the USA that Bush [as well as other Republicans and Democrats] have maintained Castro, Chavez and others in power in order to sustain their slave minded economy.
An article by the BBC about the graduation of US Citizens from Cuban Medical Schools under an agreement between the Republicans/Democrats in the USA and Communist Authorities in Cuba underscores this. Of course, the deal is that these Physicians practice in marginalized areas. These Graduates receive the same status that graduates of a US School receive.
What about the US Citizens who had the same deal with Grenada and the Dominican Republic? US Citizens who study in those countries were classified as International Medical Graduates, forced to pass rigorous examinations and then undergo the struggle to undergo residency/internship training, and obtaining a license to practice medicine.
Even now, [as the news of Doctors involved in terrorist activities is circulating] the USA has one set of laws for one group, another set of laws for another group with laws piling upon laws. The same thing occurs in other areas such as immigration.
What is needed is not to change the laws to enforce the existing ones with regard to health care. Encourage people to go into the medical field by removing the excessive restrictions that a Medical Doctor finds themselves in. It may or may not happen secondary to powerful lobbies [which should be abolished] and an excessive bureaucracy that is drowning in excessive [and possibly repetitive] laws.

Free from government and lobbyist interference, the capitalistic competitive market could eventually reach a much more equitable status for health care.
