"If you ever come down with an illness, lets say, bad cough and a fever, just repeat the above to yourself and stay away from health care."

"Good point. Don't go to hospitals, That's where the diseases are."

You just demonstrated why you haven't a clue about health care and should seek the advice of a professional when it comes to your health, as I've just given two cardinal symptoms of pneumonia, a potentially life threatening disease.

So unless you have a home xray machine, know what pneumonia sounds like, and are familiar with the work up and treatment, I suggest you check yourself in if you get sick with those symptoms. Just some fatherly advice.

"I argue from logic that depends upon commonly available observation"

It's easily observed that children who aren't immunized die or develop morbidity.
It's easily observable that folks who get an infection, if not treated, can die.
It's easily observable that inadequate access to health care results in worse health. Not only observable, but easily demonstrated.
It's easily observable that countries that spend less money on health care are just as healthy, if not more healthy, less obese (oh wait, it's because they can't afford burger king!).

What's not easily observable is how living longer or babies dying less (The French or Japanese situation) is somehow not credible evidence of health. But you got some stats to back you up, I suppose, somewhere.

Edit: I see you're clogging up the board with your "common observations". So I'll end it here because this board shouldn't go this direction. Take care, enjoy your health.
