Restore Cuban Medical Parole Program
Restore Cuban Medical Parole Program
The Issue
The United States faces a shortage of 136,000 doctors by 2025. Cuban doctors are well-trained and highly regarded all over the world.
Did you know Cuban doctors are the worst paid doctors in the world. A physician in the US can earn in ABOUT AN HOUR what his/her counterpart takes a FULL YEAR to earn.
Additionally the Cuban dictators have used doctors as a political and revenue tool for the island to further their repressive regime.
There are over 40,000 cuban doctors in Latin America, generating an estimated 3 Billion USD for the Cuban government on a yearly basis.
Did you know if a Cuban doctor leaves, the government punishes them by forbidding visiting their families for over 10 years.
Now, Barack Obama has taken away the hope many of these professionals had to reach their dream.
The Cuban regime has not changed its repressive methods, the US should not have changed its immigration policy towards Cuba.
They need the US, and the US needs them. Please contact your representatives and ask the new administration to reverse this policy and re-establish the Cuban Medical Parole Program.
