SP, I'm sorry if my post sounded heartless, I didn't mean it to. What I'm trying to say, is that a lack of insurance (or ability to pay) does not mean that one is going to be denied life saving medical care in this country. The USA leads the world in breast cancer survival. Now I doubt that cancer drugs are so very different in the USA vs. the rest of the world (and treatment regimes are probably very similar). This means (to me) that those Americans without insurance are not being denied good quality care (and it implies to me that the uninsured are not seeing delays in treatment that are significantly more than those in National Health Systems). The USA also leads Canada in heart attack survival (5 year). Doesn't this mean that Americans without insurance are still getting treatment and followup - they aren't being denied? If I'm wrong, I'm certainly willing to change my mind.
