My Friends, Cancer, and Socialized Medicine

Twenty percent of British cancer patients who might be cured become incurable while waiting for the treatment they need. All my friends that have had cancer, and there are several, have survived. I thank God foremost, and the American medical system second.

The Population Studies Center at the University of Pennsylvania studied survival rates for lung, breast, prostate, colon, and rectum cancers in 18 countries and found that Americans were the most successfully treated.

About 85-90 percent of us are satisfied with our health care. Even the uninsured are pretty satisfied since it's illegal for any medical institution to turn anyone away. Personal story...had a friend that was unemployed and had a hernia. Got the operation and didn't pay.

More people having heart attacks survive here. Would you rather have a heart attack or stroke here or China, Russia, Cuba, Canada, Venezuela, England?

ObamaCare isn't about health. If Statists did care, they would be coming up with programs that help those that need it, not delete what we have now, that does in fact take care of everyone, even people here illegally. Statists don't care about the well being of the citizens. They care about power and their own well being.
