Almost 15% of patients in Great Britain must wait more than one year to receive treatment, after they have been referred to a specialist by a doctor. As much as 50% of patients getting government care must wait between 18 to 52 weeks for treatment. Over three-quarters of Canadians must wait about three months for an MRI under government-operated health care.
You can imagine how their governments put dental teeth at the bottom of their preference list when they must cut costs.
More than 75% of National Healthcare Service British patients waited four or more weeks for admittance into a hospital, as reported in May, 2009.
The average survival rate for all types of cancer for patients in the United States is 60%. Canada’s survival rate is at 55%; Europe’s is at 48%. About 80% survive the prostate cancer diagnosis in the USA , as compared to about 43% in the U.K., under their nationalized service.
Americans are not all familiar with this. The media tends to overlook such facts and continue to spout ObamaCare without much analysis. (See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
