Government’s Tardy Medical Statistics

Numbers officially used, that is, government data, are always far behind current information. That is certainly true in the case of medical practice.

The medical profession has, at its finger tips, up to date, practical knowledge. Doctors are aware of the nuances of medications and techniques which government data lack. Yet this laggard government data will be the basis upon which government health coverage will be dictated by its panels.

This is not just an idle scare tactic by those who do not want government-administered panel decisions. This is the way medical decisions are made this very day, in the UK and elsewhere, under government health care.
