| #5 Why would these doctors want to come from one of the best medical programs in the world (according to Michael Moore)to a completely broken one like we have in the US (according to Democrats)? Answer: a) money b) the freedom to be able to criticize the government and not to to jail (at least for now) and c) a much better life. |

| #3 Since Hugo Chávez came to power in Venezuela in 1998, Cuba has been bartering doctors for Venezuelan oil. The U.S. Energy Department estimates that Venezuela ships Cuba 90,000 barrels of oil a day—worth more than $2 billion a year at current prices. In addition, Venezuela pays Cuba for medical teams sent to countries that Mr. Chávez considers part of Venezuela's "Bolivarian" sphere. Bolivia, Honduras, Ecuador and Paraguay all use Cuban doctors paid for by Venezuela. So the Cuban Docs are bought, sold and traded by socialist governments. |

| #1 Ironically, these might be real doctors, because Cuba seems to have no problem inserting spies into the US, so doesn't need any elaborate ruse. |
