 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
 
            Check this last set of statistics!!
 
            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%
 
        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 never really had one?  And when 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."  They should have been in an employment line.
 
Pass this on because we'll NEVER see these facts in the main
stream media.

don't worry about your health care, Obama and the dems are doing their best to drag us down to a level with the rest of the world   tickedoff

I had heard the statistic about private sector experience with Obamas staff, but I thought it was only 7%.

to be fair some of the 'establishment' types in the republican party think there are some good points in Obama care. if your representative thinks this way vote em out!
