    Great article on how the Cuban population prevents illness so that they don't have to cure it. Healthcare in Cuba is free and even written in their constitution. Each citizen is given an annual health check up and ones who are not as healthy are seen more frequently. They teach their citizens how to be healthy so they don't get health-related diseases. Smart system and I think it should be integrated in other countries as well.

      Isn't this contrary to what is stated above about new cybersecurity program rollouts have been delayed?
  • Mayorkas stressed that the churn of personnel has not affected the department’s ability to protect the country.
  • A parade of high-level departures, on top of other factors, has meanwhile helped slow the rollout of key cybersecurity initiatives, including a program aimed at blocking malicious software before it can infiltrate civilian government computers, former officials say.
  • Private-sector salaries for high-level career officials, especially cybersecurity experts, can be double or triple the roughly $180,000 they can make at DHS.
  • Many former and current officials said the most burdensome part of working for DHS is the demands of congressional oversight. More than 90 committees and subcommittees have some jurisdiction over DHS, nearly three times the number that oversee the Defense Department. Preparing for the blizzard of hearings and briefings, officials say, leaves them less time to do their jobs.
