Just a follow-up to my post last week regarding the efficacy of the U. S. health care system vs. the sort of socialized medicine that the Democrats would subject us all to. Think long and hard before voting Democrat in Novemeber, unless you really want English or Canadian results when you fall ill.

Differences shown in the chart are miniscule between US and Canada and certainly within the realm of other factors.

" Europe lags behind America, with wide differences in survival rates, ranging from 10% for breast cancer to 34% for prostate cancer."

The chart didn't show that.

My wife is currently fighting breast cancer and the thing I notice is how the expenses are padded; excessive multiple consultations within an oncology group, repetitive CT's and PETs, $200 billings for a two minute "how you feeling." We have great insurance and the industry is milking it like a big cashcow.
