Ramona Matos, a newly naturalized U.S. citizen from Cuba, chose to support Donald Trump in the last election due to his hardline approach towards the communist Cuban government. She aims to end the exploitation of Cuban health professionals who are sent abroad under harsh conditions, earning only a fraction of the services paid by host countries. Matos, who has firsthand experience in Cuban medical missions, perceives these practices as a form of slavery perpetuated by the regime. Trump's policies indicate a shift towards tightening restrictions on Cuba's international medical programs which Matos wholeheartedly supports.
"For decades, the Cuban government has sent thousands of health professionals to work in remote villages and cities in dozens of countries, where they get just a fraction of what the countries pay Cuba for their services."
"Those doctors are slaves to the Cuban dictatorship, said Ms. Matos, 63, who, after posts at Cuban medical missions in Bolivia and Brazil, is a factory worker in South Florida."
