Vermont's Rep. Peter Welch is in Havana with President Obama, and today said Americans have much to learn from the impoverished totalitarian state.
"We can learn some things from the Cuban people," Welch told MSNBC's Chris Jansing. "Everybody reads, about 100 percent literacy rate. Access to health care. Their longevity, as long as it is in the United States or longer."
"We're here in the hopes we can bring something," Welch said, "but there's something that we can learn from the Cuban people."
