I didn't say you SAID it, I said you seemed to think it. But if you're willing to clearly say that as far as you know medical mistakes are as common in socialized health care systems as here and that they aren't simply a problem of the American health care system, I'll be happy to say I was wrong about my opinion of you. ... No, I didn't say I think it...I repeated it as an established fact. .... .... There's where you said it. --------------------------------------- Here you say it again: I have been trying to tell you for weeks that we do not have the best healthcare system in world and one of the reasons is deaths due to medical mistakes.... You've said nothing about how rates of medical mistakes in America compare to rates in other countries. So simply repeating claims that medical mistakes in America exist says nothing about whether our health care system is the best in the world or not. I assume you're mind is so addled you can't realize this. OTOH, our high cancer survival rates, high (#1) life expectancy at age 65, high (again #1) life expectancy when non-medical deaths (homicides and accidents) are excluded do in fact provide evidence that our health care system is the best.
