Some comments about Salud:
"¡Salud! is an excellent, accurate and deeply moving portrayal of a healthcare system designed to keep people healthy rather than the ‘sickcare’ system that currently exists in the United States."

Joycelyn Elders, MD, former U.S. Surgeon General

Of 23 counties that I represent, 22 of them are medically underserved…. One of the reasons the Congressional Black Caucus wanted to go to Cuba is that as we traveled around the world, in some of the most remote places we would always run up on Cuban doctors. So we went to Cuba."

-HON. BENNIE THOMPSON, U.S. House of Representatives, Mississippi
