>>> and cancer rates are not necessarily the only indicator of quality of healthcare....

Not the only. But probably a pretty good indicator of the which country provides state-of-the-art medicine. Cancer survival rates are a function of many things, not the least of which are early diagnosis (made possible by superb imaging technology), excellent treatment alternatives which are not available in many countries, and well-trained physicians.

This is really a losing argument for you. I don't know why you want to go there.

Not the only indicator of quality but its AN indicator nonetheless.

"liking their system less than ours" wouldn't be an indicator though. Liking is subjective and few people have personal knowledge of other countries health care systems.

Can you supply any data that says people in other countries like their system less than ours???


In many countries cancer victims don't complain about their health care because they are too dead to care. Being dead is a pretty big indicator or the type of health care you are receiving.
