A recent “Investor’s Business Daily” article provided 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.”
SHIP HIM TO CANADA OR ENGLAND !
He is “elderly” himself but be sure to remember his health
insurance is different from yours as Congress has their own high- end
coverage! He will never have to learn to accept
“inconveniences”!!!
AND THE WINNER IS VERY INTERESTING!
The percentage of each past president’s cabinet who had worked in the
private business sector prior to their appointment to the
cabinet. You know what the private business sector is… a real life
business, not a government job. Here are the percentages.
T. Roosevelt…….. 38%
Taft…………………40%
Wilson …………….52%
Harding………………49%
Coolidge………….. 48%
Hoover…………….. 42%
F. Roosevelt……… 50%
Truman………………50%
Eisenhower……….. 57%
Kennedy………….. 30%
Johnson……………..47%
Nixon………………. 53%
Ford………………… 42%
Carter……………… 32%
Reagan……………….56%
GH Bush…………….. 51%
Clinton …………….. 39%
GW Bush……………. 55%
And the winner of the Chicken Dinner is:
Obama……………. 8% !!!
Yep! That’s right! Only Eight Percent!!!..the least by far of the
last 19 presidents!! And these people are trying to tell our big
corporations how to run their business? They know what’s
best for GM…Chrysler… Wall Street… and you and me?
How can the president of a major nation and society…the one
with the most successful economic system in world history…
stand and talk about business when he’s never worked for one?.. or
about jobs when he has never really had one??! And neither
has 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers! They’ve spent most
of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit
jobs….or as “community organizers” when they should have been in an
employment line.
