Recent statements made by some US Government officials speculate, without any evidence whatsoever, about the fact that the Government of Cuba could be involved in frauds targeting the US health care program Medicare in South Florida.  This is a new slander fabricated by anti-Cuban sectors in that country. Cuba has maintained a firm stance in rejection of this and other transnational crimes.  This is something well-known by the Government of the United States, which has exchanged and coordinated with the Cuban Government the implementation of several joint actions on terrorism, legal assistance, commercial security, illicit trafficking in drugs, alien smuggling and migration fraud, cyber-crimes, money laundering and financial crimes. However, as a rule, there has not been a reciprocal behavior on the part of the US authorities.
