Single-Payer Health Care: How Compassionate is it REALLY?

Government Health Care Causes Harm To You

    This article was pulled from the "Investor's Business Daily." It provides some very interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health Organization.
    Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:

    U.S. 65%
    England 46%
    Canada 42%

    Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received treatment within six months:

    U.S. 93%
    England 15%
    Canada 43%

    Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six months:

    U.S. 90%
    England 15%
    Canada 43%

    Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within one month:

    U.S. 77%
    England 40%
    Canada 43%

    Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million people:

    U.S. 71
    England 14
    Canada 18

    Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are in "excellent health":

    U.S. 12%
    England 2%
    Canada 6%

    I don't know about you, but I don't want "Universal Healthcare" comparable to England or Canada .
    Moreover, it was Sen. Harry Reid who said, "Elderly Americans must learn to accept the inconveniences of old age."

Goverment-Run Health Care: Reality Horror Story #1

    Gov’t Health Care Horror Story: Lindsay McCreith


    Ontario, Canada’s Lindsay McCreith traveled to the US to have a brain tumor removed. Why? Because the government-run health care system in Canada told him he could wait… a bit… well, actually, they said he could wait more than a year for it to be biopsied and removed. In the US, it took 2 weeks and the biopsy showed it was cancerous. McCreith figures if he waited in Canada for a year he might not be here telling us his story.
