Health Reform Success For
Obama, Says Fidel Castro
HAVANA- The newly-adopted U.S. healthcare
reform plan was "an important victory and
success" for the Barack Obama
administration, former Cuban leader Fidel
Castro said in an article published Thursday
on the official website Cubadebate.
Castro said it was remarkable that the most
powerful country on earth took more than two
centuries from its founding to approve
something as basic as health benefits for
all.
"We believe that the health reform has been
a major battle and a success of his (Obama)
government," Castro said.
Castro also said that although Obama won a
great victory with the approval of the new
health plan, he must not forget the threat
of climate change, a far more serious threat
to all peoples on the planet.
Castro handed power to his brother Raul for
health reasons in June 2006, and has devoted
himself to writing editorials since then. |
