LOL. Our infant mortality rates are DOUBLE other countries because you say our health system is the best in the world. When did you back that up the "best in the world" crap? The guy in the article had data, real data.
No, I simply said there is no evidence presented in the article that our healthcare system is good or bad. "Real data"? There was no "real data" that would, in any way, indicate our healthcare system is anything other than the best in the world.
Face reality... health care/death... they are intertwined.
So are death and cigarette smoking, death and obesity, death and fast driving, death and substance abuse.
Again, this is pretty basic stuff here. You can't show causality by showing correlation. Proving causality is a totally different proposition.
In Canada, patients may be required to wait up to 6 months for a routine Pap.
Please respond to the following questions.
Suppose you developed any of the following diagnoses. Please state which country you would prefer to be in when that diagnosis is made.
- Cancer (any) - Heart attack - Stroke - Kidney Failure - Pregnancy - Trauma (any) - Head injury - Organ Transplant
For me, the answer is consistently, "The United States". If you want to answer, for example, "Canada" or "Great Britain", be aware that someone on this thread may well show you how you would die on the waiting list for any procedure pertaining to the above. Or, you may find that drugs necessary for optimal treatment are not available where you are. Or any number of other issues.
