Health Coverage Doesn’t Assure Health Care

                  

In a study, 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.

                       

Those 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, as reported in a fairly recent survey. Conditions have not gotten better.

                       

The average survival rate for all types of cancer for patients in the United States is 60%. Canada’s survival rate is about 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.
