Very interesting Stats
 
There are actually two messages here.  The first is very interesting, but the 2nd 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 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.

What utter Incompetence ?

Haven't the Obama president and staff been repeatedly reversing themselves, to follow Bush policys instead of the policys they promised, without checking to find them possible?

If the Bush administration was incompetant to find no better alternative to Guantanimo as a POW camp , is the Obama administration more competant to blythly promise better than Guantanimo and deliver Guantanimo?

If the Bush administration was incompetant to mistreat prisoners, is the Obama administration better competant with a shoot to kill policy?
