There is a new report out that Britians Socialized Medical System is amoung the poorest in the Western World. You can read the article that appeared in the Telegraph Newspaper in Britan. Follow the link to the website. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/05/10/ncancer10.xml
The article points out that the survival rate for cancer paitents is related to the availablety of new cancer drugs. The statics show that the people who have cancer stand the best chance of survival if they live in the US and you life expency is worst if you live in Great Britian.
As the politicians debate health care and pushing for National Health Insurance and control on the Drug Companies, thei report seems to indicate that the US Health care is and the Free Market seems to providing the some of the best care in the world. Will our politicians keep pushing for more control over our lives and make medical decisions based upon economic factorsand not medical as they do in SocilizedMedicine.
