<ahref="http://blog.heritage.org/wp-content/uploads/Castro-10-3-25.jpg"></p>As President Barack Obama embarks on a <ahref="http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/63146">high profile campaign to bolster public opinion of his health care plan, there is one man who is already convinced that Obamacare is the right move for America – Fidel Castro, the Cuban revolutionary leader and first secretary of the Cuban Communist Party.

According to an Associated Press report, <ahref="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/25/AR2010032501309.html">Castro hailed Obamacare as “a miracle” and “an important battle and a success of (Obama’s) government.”

Castro went on to <ahref="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/25/AR2010032501309.html">favorably compare President Obama’s health care plan to the one Cuba enacted a half century ago. Ironically, it was <ahref="http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/world/stories/DN-cuba_02int.ART.State.Edition2.4bf18c4.html">report ed last year that Cuban President Raul Castro said his country’s spending on health care was “simply unsustainable.”

A <ahref="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20001117-503544.html">CBS News poll released Wednesday shows that 62% of Americans want Republicans to continue challenging the health care bill that President Obama signed into law this week.
