I have not read the article or checked the stats and the commentary isn't mine.
Subject: Statistics from Investor's Business Daily
A recent Investors' 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."
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%
GHW Bush..........51%
Clinton ................39%
GW Bush.............55%
And the winner is: You guessed it!
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 have 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 ACORN "community
organizers" when they should have been in an employment line.
