There are actually two messages here. The first is very

interesting, but the second is absolutely astounding -

and explains a lot.

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%

And now for the last statistic:

National Health Insurance?

U.S. NO

England YES

Canada YES

LAST BUT NOT LEAST ...!!

The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had

worked in the private business sector prior to their appoint- ment to the

cabinet. These are people who know what a

job is and how to run a corporation for profit ...

T. Roosevelt.................... 38%

Taft.................................. 40%

........................... 52%

Harding........................... 49%

Coolidge......................... 48%

Hoover............................ 42%

F. Roosevelt................... 50%

Truman........................... 50%

Eisenhower................ .... 57%

Kennedy......................... 30%

.......................... 47%

Nixon.............................. 53%

Ford................................ 42%

............................. 32%

Reagan........................... 56%

GH Bush......................... 51%

Clinton .......................... 39%

GW Bush........................ 55%

Obama............................ 8%

This helps to explain the incompetence of this

administration: only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!

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?

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 ever had one and it's the same for 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. "

I don't know about you, but I don't want " Universal Healthcare " comparable

to England or Canada .

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.

Taft....... 40%

...... 52%

Harding.... ..49%

Coolidge...... 48%

Hoover....... 42%

F. Roosevelt... 50%

Truman...... 50%

Eisenhower.... 57%

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 18

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.

To all who have received this email regarding statistics about health care,

What is the source of these statistics?

I tried to look up the original article that is mentioned from Investor's

Business Daily - but the article does not exist, I couldn't even find anything

that even vaguely resembled this information.

I also tried to locate the " United Nations International Health Organization "

to find the original survey which

    I did a quick google on the name- no organization with this name came up on

the first page.  I didn't check further.  One of the first google hits was a

screen from snopes.com.  They seem to have changed their format (again, I didn't

check extensively enough to be sure of this); they no longer say whether

something is true or not, but they collect posts from people with opinions.  The

first page of opinions seem to be calling this survey and organization " false " .

    At the least, these statistics are extensively cherry-picked.  There are

many health statistics in which the US rates poorly compared to other

industrialized nations (with national health care).  Infant mortality comes to

mind quickly.

    As always, it's wise to check the source of one's facts, *especially* when

they confirm biases you already hold.  We should all, including me, do more of

that.

A little research on the web indicates that this forwarded email has been

" making the rounds " for a couple of years now. The earliest reference I have

found to this list of so-called statistics is dated April 1. April 1 is April

Fool's Day. So, is the data factual? Or was it intended as a joke?

There is so much misinformation about the

healthcare law. The politicians didn't read it

before it passed and now people who haven't read

it are making all sorts of claims, true or

not. I do not believe anyone should make

statements about it UNLESS THEY HAVE READ IT.
