Government Health Can Cost Lives

  

Reports: Over three-quarters of Canadians must wait about three months for an MRI under government-operated health care.

                     

Almost 15% of patients in the 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.

                                            

You can imagine how their governments put teeth at the bottom of the 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.

                     

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  prostate cancer diagnosis in the U.S., as compared to about 43% in the U.K., under their nationalized service.

                     

The media tends to overlook such facts and continue to spout health care propaganda without much analysis. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
