If the American embargo of Cuba ended, what do you think would happen to the USA and Cuba? (self.asklemmy)

This isn't meant to be a discussion on the morality of the embargo, but the affects of the embargo ending for both countries. These affects can be political, economic, or social.

Do you think medical tourism would become big?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

I think that largely depends on how easy it becomes for Americans to travel to Cuba. I imagine there'd be a bubble for most economic exchanges in the get go, but after it would normalize more.

I'm not really sure what constitutes "big" or how large the medical tourism industry is, say, between Mexico and the US, but I know it exists.

I've heard that Cuban healthcare is very good, but I'm unsure how accessible it would be to Americans. Being an American, I really don't know much about Cuba... but I've heard a few general things.

Big for Cuba maybe. Probably not huge in relation to the US. The Gulf states might go there but for the rest of the country Canada and Mexico are perfectly fine.
