Could it have anything to do with the extended waiting and rationing of healthcare? Well done, dems… we’re on the way! All Hail 0bamacare! No Mammograms until 50 in G.B.– U.S. 40 or under DEPENDING on risk. Up to your Physician not some bureaucrat
Well, now Obama and Pelosi and Reid will do it to U.S. women. Wait till 50 than every two years, NOT COST EFFECTIVE– its ok to let the women die, and don’t expect the best expensive chemo. Women First. Then Seniors, Then the Premiees, then you!
“The journal Lancet Oncology has reported that American cancer patients live longer than those anywhere else on the globe.
“American women have a 63 percent chance of living at least five years after a cancer diagnosis, compared with 56 percent of women in Europe.
“For American men, the numbers are even more dramatic. Sixty-six percent of American men live five years past a diagnosis of cancer, but only 47 percent of European men do. Of cancers that affect only women, the survival rate for uterine cancer is 5 percentage points higher in the U.S. than the European average, and 14 percent higher for breast cancer. Among cancers that affect only or primarily men, survival rates for prostate cancer are 28 percent higher in the U.S., and for bladder cancer, 15 percent higher.
The British Health Service keeps costs down by rationing care through long waiting lists for service. The Manhattan Institute’s Dr. David Gratzer reports that an estimated 20 percent of British lung cancer patients considered curable when they were first placed on the waiting list for chemotherapy or radiation were incurable by the time they obtained treatment.
