If Communism is Great, Why Does Cuba not have what it Needs?

There are reports that a top Spanish surgeon has been flown to Cuba to tend to Fidel Castro who has been seriously ill. A top gastro-intestinal surgeon flew in to treat the ailing dictator who has been the subject of a death watch since it was announced that he had a terminal illness. Interestingly, Cuba does not have all the medical supplies that the dictator might need.

The plane carried medical equipment not available in Cuba in case the leader needs further surgery due to his progressively failing health, the newspaper reported. al-Reuters

If Cuba and its Communist way of life is so great and they have everything they need then why did they have to bring in items “not available in Cuba?” Seems to me that if their way of life is so much better than here in the US then they would have everything that they need and plenty of it. Perhaps Cindy Sheehan or Hugo Chavez can explain why their hero Castro does not have what he needs and maybe they can take up a collection to help the poor fellow out.

If Castro is able to speak someone should ask him if he would fly in a specialist for any person in his Communist Utopia or is that reserved only for the special people? Looks like the death watch continues.
