Summary of Bill HRES 205

It also calls on the US government to work with other countries to put pressure on the Cuban government to end the exploitation of its medical personnel. Overall, Bill 119 HRES 205 is a bipartisan effort to bring attention to the issue of human trafficking and forced labor of Cuban medical personnel and to work towards ending this exploitative practice.
