CLASS 24 - CUBAN REVOLUTION, CUBA TODAY AND HEALTH CARE CRISIS

On the day of our twenty-fourth class, the History teacher had explained the Cuban revolution in the morning. Therefore, we have started discussing Cuba´s system today in comparison with the American system, while watching Michael Moore´s Sycho.

No dia de nossa vigésima-quarta aula, a professora de História tinha explicado a Revolução Cubana na parte da manhã. Portanto, nós começamos a discutir o sistema de Cuba hoje em comparação com o sistema americano, enquanto assistíamos ao filme de Michael Moore SOS Saúde.

Here is the scene in which Michael Moore tries to take the 9-11 volunteers to Guantanamo Bay for treatment:

Aqui está a cena em que Michael Moore tenta levar os voluntários do 11/09 para serem tratados na Baía de Guantanamo:



Your exercise for this class is to write a brief opinion in English on the scenes of the film and on why do you think Cuba can have a health system like that and the USA cannot.

Seu exercício para essa aula é escreve uma opinião breve em inglês sobre as cenas do filme e sobre por que você acha que Cuba pode ter um sistema de saúde com aquele e os Estados Unidos não podem.

the best part of the film, and that shows michael moore taking people who have stayed with some aftermath of the attack on September 11 to cuba, to make treatment, showing the United States that it does not and who thinks, and that only one parents underdeveloped.

Part of the film which I drew most attention was the list of diseases that the patient can not ter.Comparando the U.S.A. and Cuba, the cost of health in the United States is considerably high is estimated that about 45 million North Americans have no type of medical insurance. Fall mainly on that portion of the population the effects of the blockade.
