How is Cuba healthy while poor? Most attribute the fact to Cuba’s zero monetary cost health care system. There is some truth to that attribution. With 11.1% of GDP dedicated to health care and 0.8% of the population working as physicians, a substantial amount of resources is directed towards reducing infant mortality and increasing longevity. An economy with centralized economic planning by government like that of Cuba can force more resources into an industry than its population might desire in order to achieve improved outcomes in that industry at the expense of other goods and services the population might more highly desire.
In my opinion health is more important than 'other goods and services'. Without good health you can't enjoy much of anything. -

You mean the country where people are too lazy to even go get their own fast food and need Postmates to bring a bucket of fried chicken right to their front door is not also one of the healthiest countries? I'm genuinely shocked!

While people all over the world are getting fatter and unhealthier,the state's lead the way for sure. Mind you in Japan,heart disease is one of the leaders of death. Heart disease hardly exsisted 50 years ago in Japan, till western culture came along.
