One word to describe this... I'd accept evil too.

Apparently Cuba's got some treatments for lung cancer and we wont let people go there for treatments much less import the vaccines for people here.

Who is responsible for this?

Is this so somebody can win Florida's Cuban vote?

This is why we need a staffed and responsive state department capable of crafting nuanced policy that takes into account these sorts of "details".

Eh, American travel ban to Cuba isn't a law people should take much notice of. It's like jaywalking or movie piracy.

The process is ridiculously simple. You go to Grand Cayman. They arrange transportation to Cuba. Your passport is not stamped but a stamp is placed on a separate document. It is extremely easy to do.

Note that I am not advocating but describing the rather boring way it happens.

Or just "die quickly" ?

Medical tourism is pretty big for America these days, I imagine that since this is a life or death decision most will simply travel regardless of the ban and simply emigrate. Better red then dead.

The only reason that diplomatic relations have not improved is Cuba's own bizarre government. Ask some escaping Cuban who makes it to the US shore about what goes on there.

That is the most extreme selection bias.

Cuba doesn't stamp passport even for people who travel visa-free there. Because these people may have problems visiting USA later.
You are only getting stamp on departure, but it doesn't say where you are going to.

I spend two years ago some time in Cuba, and I would not believe everything escaping Cubans tell....

Cuba would be a perfect place for US pensionados to live
Just leave all the polarising ideological stuff behind you as well,
and enjoy life as it is, with BTW excellent healtcare for a few dollars,
A nice place to visit you for your kids and grandkids as well.
