Jud Cole forward- By the numbers- Politicians don't want to understand

Thanks Judi,

Stark differences in percentages. I'll take the free system vs. government controlled health care. Our elitist 'representatives' are not representing the American people on this one.

I would like to see a bunch of American service people return and be voted into office. Qualifications- smolifications( not a word), they have protected us. Let them represent us. I doubt the libs could buy them off as they have our elitists.

Health care percentages in USA, England, and Canada




Very interesting.

A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very interesting statistics from a

survey by the United Nations International Health Organization.



Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:

U.S. 65%

England 46%

Canada 42%



Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received treatment within six months:

U.S. 93%

England 15%

Canada 43%



Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six months:

U.S. 90%

England 15%

Canada 43%



Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within one month:

U.S. 77%

England 40%

Canada 43%



Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million people:

U.S. 71

England 14

Canada 18



Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are in "excellent health":

U.S. 12%

England 2%

Canada 6%



I don't know about you, but I don't want "Universal Healthcare" comparable to England or Canada .



Moreover, it was Sen. Harry Reid who said, "Elderly Americans must learn to accept the inconveniences of old age."

SHIP HIS ASS TO CANADA OR ENGLAND !
