    The author doesn't mean people actually want less healthcare. What he really means is under free market capitalism, Cubans would definitely have less healthcare overall, which is true. Because lots of people would be priced out of getting any. So in aggregate, less is being spent on healthcare but that's because only those who can afford it have it. The "iT's bAsIC eCoNoNicS!" crowd conflates the people's will with what the aggregate market demands under capitalism.
