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 .

And about Sen. Harry Reid who said, "The elderly Americans must learn to accept the inconveniences of old age." SHIP HIS AS$ TO CANADA OR ENGLAND!
