The link I posted said nothing about that at all, did it. Maybe you can read it to the canary, he can't make out 2 from 21.


And as I'm sure you're aware, no one pays more for hellthcare than the shitty-by-comparison predatory hellthcare americans "enjoy", while paying twice as much as other advanced post-industrial nations. We would rather slaughter for the oligarchy than invest in society and global competitiveness.

Controlling the entire world requires extraordinary actions.
 
So here in america rather than having a govt of, by, and for we the people, we've set things up such that we the people are dependent upon a relative handful of oligarchs, concentrated wealth and authoritarianism. Concentrated wealth will control your healthcare, if you have any. Enjoy paying more than anyone else in the world for shittier healthcare outcomes; you have an aristocracy to subsidize.

I would trust them more than government, that's for sure. After all, they've been running most of our healthcare for generations. Government can't even manage their own cafeteria.

Reminds me of years ago when I was in a long line at the post office. A black lady in front of the person in front of me said loudly "I can't believe all of us are in this long line, and they only have one postal worker trying to take care of all of us; we'll be here all day." To that I told responded "Don't look now, but these are the same people that want to run your healthcare!" By the dirty look she gave me, she was obviously an Obama supporter.

We have the best healthcare in the world. That's why people from all around the world come here to get it. Trust me, I'm a patient at the Cleveland Clinic. When you go to their downtown campus, you are the one who feels like a foreigner.

Why Canadian premier seeks health care in U.S.
No hon, we do not have "the best healthcare on the world", that's sloganeering. You can go beg the aristocracy for hellthcare, some of us recall the lofty rhetoric of this being a govt of, by, for we the people. And as we now see, not at all the case, even you have made that case here. Every other advanced post-industrial nation on the planet knows what we deny and has moved on with better care for less overall costs to society.

Top 10 Countries with Highest Cancer Rates in the World 2019
HEALTH
Let’s find out top 10 Countries with highest Cancer Rates in the World

10. Slovenia
In comparison to many countries of the world, Slovenia has the extreme amount of cancer patients with approximately 296 people per 100,000 people. Majorly the lifestyle plays as important role and this is why more and more people are now suffering from this disease. Most prevailing cancer type is breast, lung, Colon, skin and prostate. This number is expected to increase and mostly men are suffering from this deadly disease.

9. Netherlands
The Netherlands has the 9th highest cancer rate in the world. With almost 304 people suffering per 100,000 people, the cancer has risen incredibly in the past few years. With almost 30% deaths caused due to cancer, this number is expected to rise up to 50% in the year 2025. Mostly people in Netherlands suffer due to their excessive consumption of liquor and most prevalent form of cancer is the lung cancer and the prostate cancer.

8. South Korea
At number 8, we have South Korea with almost 307 people suffering per 100,000 people. Mostly stomach cancer is the commonly prevailing form of cancer as the cooking items and methods are known to increase the risk. Mostly in Korea people prefer to have their meat and fish broiled and stewed which is shown to be risky for the body. It should rather be pan fried. Also they use pickled vegetables instead of fresh vegetables which again is quite risky for the body. The people are however now gaining insight on the same and are now getting accustomed to new ways to cook.

7. Ireland
At number 7 of the top 10 countries, Ireland has a record of over 307 people suffering from cancer per 100,000 people. Lifestyle is one of the major reasons for the cancer here which includes smoking and drinking liquor. These numbers are also on the rise as almost every 2 minutes a person gets diagnosed with cancer in Ireland. The most commonly found cancer disorders are breast cancer, lung cancer, bowel cancer, prostate cancer and skin cancer.

6. United States
After Ireland we have United States of America where approximately 318 cases per 100,000 people are diagnosed. Majority of people suffer due to unnecessary and excessive consumption of alcohol and smoking and most importantly the stressful lifestyle. Besides people eat fast food, are extremely obese and have an unhealthy way of living. This is a major issue that the nation is facing as of now and therefore the government is taking many steps to inculcate the habit of healthy living in the residents.


5. Norway
Number 5 on the list we have Norway which has almost 318 people suffering from Cancer per 100,000 people. Mostly breast cancer, prostate cancer, lungs cancer and colon cancer are common in Norway. The population of Norway is huge and therefore more and more prone to infections and other disorders. Mostly people are diagnosed at 70 years of age.

4. Belgium
Number 4 on the list is Belgium with around 321 people per 100,000 people. Mostly Breast cancer is prevalent and common in Belgium and it is growing every day that it has not become a threat to the nation as mostly people from the age group of 35 to 50 are diagnosed. Mostly people smoke and consume alcohol which is a major reason for this disease. As many as 15000 cases are diagnosed in the year 2016 and at the ratio it is multiplying, it is expected that this number shall reach 70,000 by the end of the year 2025.

3. Australia
With the 3rd highest number of people which is almost 323 people per 100,000 people are suffering from cancer in Australia. Lung and breast cancer is majorly prevalent here and now more and more cases of skin cancer or the Melanoma are coming forward due to which the Australian Government has taken some bold measures such as they made it mandatory for people to use the sun block creams and hats while working outdoors.

2. France
Second highest number of people suffering from cancer are in France. Almost 324 people per 100,000 people are suffering from cancer in France and the major reason for that is the excessive smoking and drinking habits of French people. Besides, prostate cancer is another common form of cancer prevailing in France. Breast cancer is one of the leading cause of cancer related deaths among French women and the numbers of prostate and breast cancer are increasing every day.

1. Denmark
At number 1 slot we have Denmark which is known as the Cancer Capital of the world. Even though Denmark is a developed country still almost 338 people per 100,000 people suffer from cancer. So much to say but Denmark has some of the state of the art facilities for Cancer patients but still the number has only increased in the past rather than falling down. The primary reason is the high consumption of alcohol and cigarette smoking.

Costs hit hard

But when the check comes, it hits hard: According to the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics, in 2012 the average U.S. resident spent $892 on prescription drugs, while the average Canadian spent only $420. Europeans spend, on average, $375.

Ranking 37th — Measuring the Performance of the U.S. Health Care System

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp0910064


World Health Organization’s Ranking of the World’s Health Systems

Some people fancy all health care debates to be a case of Canadian Health Care vs. American. Not so. According to the World Health Organization’s ranking of the world’s health systems, neither Canada nor the USA ranks in the top 25.



Improving the Canadian Healthcare System does not mean we must emulate the American system, but it may mean that perhaps we can learn from countries that rank better than both Canada and the USA at keeping their citizens healthy.

World Health Organization's Ranking of the World's Health Systems


U.S. Health Care Ranked Worst in the Developed World

The U.S. health care system has been subject to heated debate over the past decade, but one thing that has remained consistent is the level of performance, which has been ranked as the worst among industrialized nations for the fifth time, according to the 2014 Commonwealth Fund survey 2014. The U.K. ranked best with Switzerland following a close second.

The Commonwealth Fund report compares the U.S. with 10 other nations: France, Australia, Germany, Canada, Sweden, New Zealand, Norway, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the U.K. were all judged to be superior based on various factors. These include quality of care, access to doctors and equity throughout the country. Results of the study rely on data from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the World Health Organization and interviews from physicians and patients.

U.S. Health Care Ranked Worst in the Developed World


HOW BAD IS U.S. HEALTH CARE? AMONG HIGH-INCOME NATIONS, IT’S THE WORST, STUDY SAYS

As Republicans struggle to agree on a replacement for the Affordable Care Act, the Commonwealth Fund has rated the U.S. health care system as the worst among the 11 developed nations it analyzed as part of an evaluation conducted every three years. The think tank also rated the U.S. health care system as the worst-performing of the nations analyzed when the last evaluation was released in 2014.

The U.S. health care system has been rated the worst (by far) among high-income nations


How does the quality of the U.S. healthcare system compare to other countries?

Bench-marking U.S. quality measures against those of similarly large and wealthy countries is one way to assess how successful the U.S. has been at improving care for its population, and to learn from systems that often produce better outcomes. The OECD has compiled data on dozens of outcomes and process measures. Across a number of these measures, the U.S. lags behind similarly wealthy OECD countries (those that are similarly large and wealthy based on GDP and GDP per capita).In some cases, such as the rates of all-cause mortality, premature death, death amenable to healthcare, and disease burden, the U.S. is also not improving as quickly as other countries, which means the gap is growing.

No hon, we do not have "the best healthcare on the world", that's sloganeering. You can go beg the aristocracy for hellthcare, some of us recall the lofty rhetoric of this being a govt of, by, for we the people.

Every other advanced post-industrial nation on the planet knows what we deny and has moved on with better care for less overall costs to society.

Sure we have the best healthcare in the world. It's our "system" that gives us a lower ranking because of cost and inability for many to get coverage. If you got a serious illness, what other country would you rather be than in the US?

Our doctors are the highest paid in the world, and that creates a lot of specialists that others don't have. Sure, you will eventually get treated by a specialist, when they can get to you. But it's also why we attract the best doctors from around the world.

Tell ya what, I'll pay as much attention to your believing and sloganeering as you do to data, studies and objective reality.
