Health Care Survey

                   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 HIM OFF TO CANADA OR ENGLAND!
