You know I can't really feel their plight. Take this:

>Hundreds of miles away, in Minas Gerais State, Dr. Jiménez, 34, found the work rewarding, but also began to harbor feelings of resentment. “You are trained in Cuba and our education is free, health care is free, but at what price?” she said. “You wind up paying for it your whole life.”

Is that not the point? The communist government allows anybody to attend their very good medical schools totally for free. This doctor hasn't even made it to 34 and she wants to opt out, how many 34 y/o american doctors are even close to paying down their debt? Seems weird to come from a country which is explicitly organized around giving everybody a chance to succeed and then upon success saying, yeah but I don't like paying for it.
