Cuba: Communist Economic Model Loses a Stalwart Defender

Fidel Castro said Cuba’s economic model no longer worked, an American journalist reported Wednesday. Jeffrey Goldberg wrote in his blog for Atlantic magazine that he asked Mr. Castro, left, last week if Cuba’s model of Soviet-style Communism was still worth exporting to other countries. “The Cuban model doesn’t even work for us anymore,” Mr. Castro said, according to the report. Mr. Goldberg said that Julia Sweig, a Cuba expert at the Council on Foreign Relations, thought Mr. Castro’s answer was an acknowledgment that the state played too big a role in the economy. The comment appeared to reflect Mr. Castro’s support for the economic reforms instituted by his younger brother, PresidentRaúl Castro. In the interview, Mr. Castro, 84, also criticized President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran for anti-Semitism and denying the Holocaust. He also criticized his own actions during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis when he urged the Soviet Union to launch nuclear weapons against the United States, saying “it wasn’t worth it at all.”

No one disputes that the $2.3 trillion we devote to the health care industry is often spent unwisely, but the fact that the United States spends twice as much per person as most European countries on health care can be substantially explained, as a study released last month says, by our being fatter. Even the most efficient health care system that the administration could hope to devise would still confront a rising tide of chronic disease linked to diet. That’s why our success in bringing health care costs under control ultimately depends on whether Washington can summon the political will to take on ...
