The medical system is one of the first targets we've heard, and Cubans have heard for years, which US planners intend to dismantle and replace with privatized medicine first chance they get after they gain sufficient power.

As we've heard here, Cubans say "#### that!" They haven't worked for 60 years creating their wildly successful, imminently practical, and thoroughly humane universal healthcare only to have greedy fascists destroy it.
