And in 2003 Canada had a child mortality rate of 6 per 1000 births, the USA rate was 8 per 1000.
And in 2000 the USA experienced a maternal mortality rate of 5 per 1000 and the USA 14 per 1000.
And in 2002 the USA spent 15% of its GNP on health care while Canada spent 10% of its GNP.
You're right the real issues in the health care "reform" debate are the excessive amounts of money spent for health care and the mediocre outcomes produced by the most expensive system of health care delivery in the world, by far.
The idea that may legitimately conclude that the British Health care system is bad because more folks in the UK die from prostrate cancer is just, well, really silly. What I really want to know is the wait time for wart removal. If "socialized medicine" can't get it done as quickly as my hmo, it's a deal killer </sarcasm>

LOL...I don't have to prove anything.
It's already been proven. Just because it may have been proven to an ideologue predisposed to reflexively oppose any publicly owned, not for profit health insurance system doesn't mean it's true. I ideologues have a way of ignoring inconvenient truths which don't fit within their ideological constructs.

Yeah, I was thinking about a scrotum tuck and I'm not into delayed gratification  Same for David Carradine on that DIY tuck thing...

Why not just get a bottle of salicylic acid and take care of the problem yourself?

Yeah, I was thinking about a scrotum tuck and I'm not into delayed gratification Here is another example of over utilization of the medical care system. You could tuck that scrotum yourself with a length of dental floss tied off to staunch the blood flow to the offending portion.
