That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that—
the Government of Cuba subjected Cuban doctors and medical professional participating in the Mais Medícos program to state-sponsored human trafficking;
Cuban doctors participating in the Mais Medícos program should have been permitted to work under the same conditions as all other foreign doctors participating in the program;
the Government of Cuba should compensate Cuban doctors that participated in the Mais Medícos programs for the full amount of wages that were garnished by the Government of Cuba;
foreign governments that sign agreements with the Government of Cuba or the for-profit Cuban Medical Services Trading Corporation (CMS) or other companies affiliated with the Government of Cuba to procure the services of Cuban professionals directly assume risks related to participation in forced labor arrangements;
the Pan American Health Organization must immediately provide greater transparency about its participation in the Mais Medícos program and its agreement with the Government of Cuba and the for-profit Cuban Medical Services Trading Corporation (CMS);
the United States Department of State must downgrade Cuba to Tier 3 in its annual Trafficking in Persons (TIP) report, given new evidence on Cuba’s foreign medical missions and the Government of Cuba’s longstanding failure to criminalize most forms of forced labor; and
the Department of State must reestablish the Cuban Medical Professionals Parole (CMPP) program.
