How about them govt. apples a day

An apple a day, keeps the Doctor away. I digress.

So Dick Morris published an article stating the death rate of cancer in the United States is 0.18% while the death rate in the United Kingdom is 0.25% while in Canada it's 0.21%. So in numbers, that means in the US, approximately 552,982 [using CIA Factbook 2009 numbers] people died from cancer last year. If we were to have the death rates of the UK or Canada, respectively 215,048 or 88,477 MORE people would have died last year. Anyone for that system of health care? Anyone want to volunteer a relative or perhaps yourself to fulfill those INCREASED numbers? I think the few percent more of GDP we pay for SUPERIOR health care is worth it. Any cancer survivor or relative of one disagree?
