By definition. > > Reality check Hmmm. Irrelevant statistics that have nothing to do with the concept of price control nor do they reflect any difference in quality of medical care and certainly say nothing about the long term financial stability of Socialized Medicine. > Life expectancy in the USA 77.5 years > Infant mortality USA 7 per 1,000 live births > US Medical costs as % GDP 15.3 > % of US medical costs spent on admin 25-30% > > > Life expectancy in the UK 78.27 years > Infant mortality UK 5.5 per 1,000 live births > UK Medical costs as % GDP 7.7 > % of UK medical costs spent on admin 5.7 % Life expectancy and infant mortality problems in the US are primarily reflective of certain social ills in the US such as the proliferation of guns and drugs. The leading cause of death of males living in inner city US is murder, as an example. The statistic of % to GDP and costs spent on admin are nonsensical. They don't take into account all of the admin costs in the UK of the government involving tax collection, etc. But again they have nothing whatsoever to do with the specific issues under discussion. Does this mean you finally acknowledge they are true and are trying to shift the discussion to avoid embarrassment? |
