Cuban leader applauds US health-care reform bill
Dubious endorsement? Cuban leader endorses US health care reform, says it's about time

HAVANA (AP) -- It perhaps was not the endorsement President Barack Obama and the Democrats in Congress were looking for.
Cuban
revolutionary leader Fidel Castro on Thursday declared passage of
American health care reform "a miracle" and a major victory for Obama's
presidency, but couldn't help chide the United States for taking so
long to enact what communist Cuba achieved decades ago.
"We
consider health reform to have been an important battle and a success
of his (Obama's) government," Castro wrote in an essay published in
state media, adding that it would strengthen the president's hand
against lobbyists and "mercenaries."
