DOH! “if we measure a health-care system by how well it serves its sick citizens,” writes Dr. David Gratzer, a Canada care whistle blower, “American medicine excels. Five-year cancer survival rates bear this out. For leukemia, the American survival rate is almost 50 percent; the European rate is just 35 percent. Esophageal carcinoma: 12 percent in the United States, 6 percent in Europe. The survival rate for prostate cancer is 81.2 percent here, yet 61.7 percent in France and down to 44.3 percent in England—a striking variation.”

    Not to mention that many people need only to insure against catastrophes, not have a health care
    regimen managed by private/public insurance bureaucrats. Imagine if your home insurance company was involved every time you changed light bulbs or bought a new rug?

    But while the elderly get shuttled to the Kevorkian clinics, the rich fly to Belize for their out-of-pocket care, and the middle class nearly die waiting in emergency rooms – we can be assured that the ILLEGAL ALIEN of the week, Ingmar Guandique, will get top quality taxpayer-provided health care:
