Hugo Chavez Sick in Cuba

There are reports that Hugo Chavez is critically ill in Cuba. The government of Venezuela is denying these reports they say that Chavez is well and will return to Venezuela when he is ready. Some have reported that Chavez as prostate cancer and being treated in Cuba for this. My question is are medical facilities in Venezuela in such poor shape that they can't deal with the health problem of their own leader. While he is in Cuba if we were lucky they could take out his vocal cords so we don't have to listen to all his BS.
