Could see how well Cuba does with the trade blockade lifted and relations normalized. But I doubt that will happen because the U.S. does not want to see Cuba become the most successful of the Caribbean countries. Under Castro, the Cubans are among the most literate in the world with a literacy rate of 99.8% and high school graduation of 94%. Homelessness in Cuba is almost non-existent, with 85% owning their own home. Cubans have universal good quality health care. Life expectancy is 78 years which is third highest in the Americas after Canada and Chili, and just ahead of the U.S.. They have the highest doctor to population ratio in the world. Cuba contributes considerably to world health with tens of thousands of their medical personnel working abroad. Cuba has a high rate of “medical tourism” where many in other parts of the world, including the U.S., go for affordable medical treatment.
