Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez dies

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has passed away at the age of 58 following a two-year fight against cancer and a severe respiratory infection. His untimely demise raises serious questions about the future of the oil-rich Latin American power.

The president of Venezuela died on Tuesday afternoon, Vice President Nicolas Maduro has announced. "It's a moment of deep pain," he said, accompanied by senior ministers.

Of course someone with the right money gets far superior treatment in the US. What you mean is the availability for an average person.

to get the peaks and lows out of the equation.

You have 2 look at the average life expectancy, mortality rate, etc.

And cuba is the only devoloping country I know of, that is on par with the US.

So that says something...

Average Cubans do enjoy better health care than the average American. Where America pulls ahead is that if you can afford better health care, then there is no better health care in the world than rich American's health care.

Well that might explain why scumbag Fidel is still alive.  I don't know all that much about Chavez.  I heard he called Bush the devil, so he had some positive points with me  ;D

what do you consider "average"?

this debate is always framed incorrectly, like as americans we are either mitt romney super rich white guys or we're super poor minorities wallowing without health care.

Part of "average" goes with the cost. But also for years Cuba's health care has been ranked on par with the US. Lately, I haven't seen the studies, but for years Cuba and the US were ranked very closely. But I am talking about the "average" citizen which includes more rural and intercity people rather than suburbs. Rural America has limited health care.

kinda like comparing apples and oranges though, right?  I mean thats a tiny island.  Not saying its north korea bad, but theres a lot of drawbacks.  And the question here was hugo chavez, who is extremely rich, so his healthcare would be comparably less quality than that of someone in his tax bracket here in the us. 

plus, if you think there isnt gross inequality of standard of care for party officials and some farmer, youre nuts.

Less quality is a nuance I can live with.
But we might agree that Cuba is not that bad as you initial described it.

Cancer is a disease that has some treatement. But if that doesn't have effect it is mostly and unfortunately pain-relief treatement. Even in the first world countries.
And I know from experience.
