Abc read this you squeeler /Fink... ..............America's health care is not doing badly. Indeed a National Center for Policy Analysis study from last March shows how much better we are doing than countries like Canada, Britain, and other European nations that have government health care control:

* Breast-cancer mortality is 52% higher in Germany and 88% higher in Britain than in the U.S.
* Prostate-cancer mortality is 457% higher in Norway and 604% higher in Britain than in the U.S.
* Eighty-nine percent of middle-aged women in the U.S. have had a mammogram, compared with 72% in Canada.
* Fifty-four percent of men in the U.S. have had a prostate-specific antigen test, compared with 16% of Canadian men.

As for the availability of health care, another study shows that 74% of those in the U.S. meet for scheduled doctors appointments within four weeks, while only 42% of British and 40% of Canadians do. Only 10% of Americans wait longer than two months, while 33% of Brits and 42% of Canadians wait that long.

On average, doctors in a survey say neurosurgery should be performed within 5.8 weeks, but in Canada it takes about 31 weeks. And orthopedic surgery should be within 11 weeks, but in Canada it takes 37 weeks. So it is pretty clear that government health-insurance monopoly is dangerously inefficient.

CANADA CHANGES NATIONAL SYMBOL FROM MAPLE LEAF TO A CONDOM
Official Announcement Notice:

The government today announced that it is changing its emblem from a Maple Leaf to a CONDOM because it more accurately reflects the government's political stance. A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed.

Damn, it just doesn't get more accurate than that!

neo-cons reduce the World, its needs, its poverty to a song and dance act and stand in admiration at Michael Jackson =- good god ( which one ) as people admire the greeks of classical and biblical times - and guess what - some were bisexual - there are lots of mysteries about jesus and the bible. However the ancient greeks:

Of course baptists supress greek studies in american schools - so much for freedom!
Of course in free countries greek civilization nad manguage is widely studied.
Baptists and others are stupid because greek is essential to understanding human history - even modern versions of the bible

Care and worry fill the collection plates of the likes of Pirate Preacher Man -not joy and happiness. So of course Pirate Preacher Men promote captialism - they like recession suicides make for great fees for funerals.....
