#1 This was noted on Hot Air the other day. Article's here.

Short version: while the mortality rates for prostate cancer are similar between the US and Britain, the mortality rates for men diagnosed with prostate cancer are much higher in the US. That is, once they realize you have prostate cancer, your odds of surviving are better in the US (80% vs 43%, if I understand their figures correctly).

According to that article, only 40% of cancer patients in Britain see an oncologist, which sounds mind-boggling. Perhaps Dr. Steve can clarify.

#5 Cancer survival rate statistics depend on the number of cancers that are detected and when they are reported, and therefore may not necessarily reflect how well a health care system performs at preventing cancer deaths overall.

Unless the health care system might also be thought to have a role in detecting and reporting cancers. Which it does.

#6 I stupidly posted:

That should have read "lower" rather than "higher".

#7 Did Rudi mention if this was after 9/11, and the devastation it brought, while he was leading the emergency response with his brilliant leadership skills, or after 9/11 where America is now forced to deal with the growing influence of Islamicfascism, because the UK and Europe were more interested in expanding socialized medicine?
