Re: Medical/Educational News
Thank you JC,
The Sentinel piece, I think, shows the extent of power the "Cuban Exile Community" has garnered in the state of Florida. The Cubans in FL for the most part want to return to their homeland, free of Castro and Communism. So for the time being the activists will try to run FL as a de facto government in exile. The "Elian" (http://www.salon.com/news/special/elian) debacle is just one example of Cubans trying to push their self serving agenda onto our government and the citizens of the United States, IMHO!

The following is copied from the Florida "Sun Sentinel" article:
". . . This is an issue of fairness, said state Rep. Rudy Garcia Jr., a Republican from Hialeah and a prominent spokesma for South Florida's 800,000 Cuban-Americans."
And:
"They're not bad doctors," said Dr. Juan Wester, a surgeon in Hollywood who was born in Argentina and went to medical school there. "They're probably as good as many of us. But we have always felt that as international medical graduates, we wanted to be treated exactly the same as anybody else."
