U.S. Rep. Carlos Giménez (R-FL) says Cuba’s healthcare system “sucks” and “doesn’t work,” pointing to hospitals without medicine and deteriorating conditions.

But this criticism leaves out a major part of the story: the policies Giménez has championed are the reason why Cuba’s hospitals are collapsing. U.S. economic warfare has restricted Cuba’s ability to obtain medicines, medical equipment, fuel and other resources needed to keep its healthcare system running.
