"Otherwise, you're dodging the point that more people are surviving cancer in the US because our health care is better." You are dodging the point of the numbers being whacked. I questioned the numbers, but you are spinning so fast you've gotten dizzy. Now, according to the American Cancer Society, using 5 year survival rates, especially for prostate cancer, is not a measure of the quality of a health care system. But, what the heck. Let's say that it is a perfect measure. And it is true for all cancers, because it is a fact that the 5 year survival rate is higher in the US than any other country for all the cancers I know about. Then why is our life expectancy so much lower?
