[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 251425, member: 8259"] Wkmac I picked this article for several reasons out of 1.1 million returned from the search on google this one was number 2. I thought even though the same numbers were printed on the most viewed article some would dismiss for reasons that are not related to this discussion. I picked the topic of cancer survivability not because the US ranks number one (the US ranks number 1 in most categories directly related to health care) but for these reasons. I wanted to avoid an article and just use the numbers but I was on lunch and time was short. I read five from different sources and the numbers pretty much agreed. I tried my best to avoid excessive drama about the source but it did not work since that was the first thing you mentioned. Oh well. Also Wkmac I have never called you a neo con or selfish or said you were violating my free speech rights Some facts 1)cancer treatment is more expensive than in other countries 2) survivability is directly related to early detection and availability of medicine and treatment options 3)US companies put more money into cancer research than any other country 4) survivability rates from sickness or disease has more to do with quality health care than life span When it comes to drug prices you have to ask yourself what you are really willing to trade off for cheap prices. As far as myself on the surface I would be willing to trade off some of the safety of MD oversight on some medications. Claritin D was a good example but now they are probably going to pull it off the shelfs because of the Meth problem. It seems there are always unseen problems that pop up. As far as the remark on our middle east foreign policy goes I do not have to accept anything that I know is not true.You do not have to accept the numbers in this article but I was really just asking why. If it is true I may not accept for other reasons that I know but cannot prove with a link so I try and keep it to myself but not always successfully . The very funny thing is that the things that we have done wrong over there are never brought up by people against the war they usually just make up things or link to stories that are not true.
