They walk right into an emergency room.<br><br>So the cancer stats include all persons. And the deficit of survivors is double digits in percentile between the US versus the UK and Canada.<br><br>I'm glad your results were good and your waiting time short. Maybe they're improving your system. Just quickly here is what is happening in Canada. I personally an executive in Canada. He has private insurance, which Canada has allowed lately along with private clinics. They recognize government cannot handle health care. So the summary is this:<br>- They took over health care and taxed to pay for it.<br>- They mismanaged the program, denied service, had/and still have exceedingly long waiting lists for services<br>- They cried Uncle and allowed private industry back into the equation.<br>- People are now buying private plans who can afford it.<br>- Everyone is still paying the escalated tax rates and VAT taxes and getting 'nothing' for it. That's a fact.<br><br>It's been 20 years since I've seen the system in the UK, though we've had some of your Parliament members on radio here telling us of poor service and long waiting times in interviews. All the best to you in that area. The statistics on the survival rates and such I believe to be solid numbers.<br><br>It won't even go that well in the USA. The politicians who vote for this will be guilty of murder and cruel and unusual punishment against a huge section of our population. I hate them for it and wish them all some time in hell.<br>The US government has bankrupted Social Security and Medicare. I believe the only reason they will take over health care is so they can have all that money going to insurers now re-routed through Washington DC. In actuality they are strung out addicts frantically looking for another fix.<br><br>On the subject of expensive, I base it on the following:<br><br>In the USA at the time, one could buy a reasonable suit for $120.00 and entry level office jobs were averaging $36,000 per year.<br><br>I noticed in UK at the time, reasonable suits were going for 120 pounds, but entry level office jobs were only paying 18,000 pounds.<br>Therefore, goods cost twice as much when compared to purchasing power of the average citizen.<br><br>I didn't see the exchange rate as affecting that.<br><br>Thank you for you compliment !<br>I look forward to your future additions.<br><br>Don't worry about going off track.

We were getting nearly two dollars to the pound so things should have seemed cheaper. (But we were being paid in dollars so our income would have appeared less).

I don't want to k...Hi Kid<br><br>Thanks for your reply. I don't want to keep adding to this post but just wanted to answer a couple of points.<br><br>Cancer survival - I wonder if the US stats include, in the denominator, all the people who died prior to being diagnosed (because they couldn't get testing)? I don't think we are comparing like with like. If we were to compare our best 80% of outcomes against your insured population then the story might be different. <br><br>In any case, one thing that has improved dramatically since Labour came in is NHS waiting lists and time to tests/treatment. I have seen this within my own family and friends group. I myself had to see a GP on 15th December and was referred to a specialist on the 29th December - two weeks wait for scans etc (and a good result thank God) - not bad!<br><br>I chatted to an American friend last night - she lived in the UK in 2000/01 and she reckons that the USA had a much better standard of living in the 70s and 80s (I'd reluctantly agree) but in the 90s something changed. Britain boomed. She reckons Brits of all ages and demographics were quicker to take advantage of the Internet etc whereas there's a huge amount of expertise in the States but the widespread take-up of technology was slower. Older Brits also benefitted from massive house price increases and became much much wealthier than previous generations. She also reminded me that while I lived in the USA the dollar was very weak against the pound and so everything seemed incredibly expensive to us in the States.<br><br>It's a fascinating subject and there are no easy conclusions really. We did divert from the original theme of your post - socialism. You have to remember that no-one in the UK believes we live in a socialist state - for good or in regret. Our Labour government is very centrist, very pro the free market/capitalism etc.<br><br>I love your blog and will be sure to visit again :o)CambridgeLadyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07091362682739789947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323117222166894889.post-3610527778025286242010-01-05T21:26:13.571-05:002010-01-05T21:26:13.571-05:00Fuzzy - Mi Casa Su Casa.!A couple things to add.CL...Fuzzy - Mi Casa Su Casa.!<br><br>A couple things to add.<br><br>CL - look at the survivability rates for women with breast cancer, as well as all people with any sort of cancer. The percentages are Exceedingly better in the USA over the UK, France and Canada.<br>If someone in Windsor Ontario has a major Heart problem, they send them post haste to Detroit. This is all documented. It's not 'urban legend' like my liberals friends like to belch out.<br><br>How easy is it to get a knee replacement. What is quality of life like in later years. Again, my commie friends like to point out that people go bankrupt from health care in their later years. To which I reply, fine with Gov health care you won't go bankrupt, but you won't get health care either. If they want to go bankrupt keeping their quality of life, it Their Choice. hey, it would be great if everyone got Great Health care. How about if we all drive Jaguar XJR's as well and eat Prime beef.<br><br>There is a reason life offers rewards for people who work tremendously hard to provide products and services to the rest of humanity. So They will Keep Doing It!<br>By the same token, there is a reason life sucks for people who don't put in the effort. (Sure, many have larger or smaller handicaps. You know personally, I believe people with larger handicaps tend to achieve more if they have what it takes to live on this rock and make a good life for themselves).<br><br>There are a lot of ratholes to go down here. I'll leave it at that and for the tomorrows.<br><br>Excuse my caps.

I loved living in and visiting England. It really wasn't that easy for me to come up with a (okay, rather long) list of things that struck me as backwards in England, but after reading your comments, I was pretty angry (and of course you keep going, as always, even in this "conciliatory" response to me.). As to Kid, he can speak and think for himself.<br><br>For permanent residence, I prefer my country to any other, and I think that you prefer yours to any other. That's fine, but you won't find me trying to convince people in other countries to hop on the free-market, capitalist bandwagon. If you like your NHS, you're welcome to it; if you want to jump on the global government, global warming/climate change hysteria bandwagon, go for it. I don't want it or any bastardized version of it in my country. That's my right, as it is yours to want it for your own country. <br><br>I think that the political/ideological "change" you refer to is most typically from liberal to conservative, rather than the other way around, and that this usually occurs for people, as Churchill said, when they hit about thirty (or in my case, a bit later than that). <br><br>My problem with you has long been that you bash (albeit subtly) my country and conservative values in a rather insidious, self-satisfied way. As here, you begin by stating, quite rightly, that our countries are somewhat different in many ways, not one being superior to the other, just different, but then you conclude by asking if "life in the USA is so much better . . . ". Undermining, of course, your first point--the one that was intended to show yourself as rational and "open-minded." This isn't just you, it's a tactic that many liberals use; I find it as offensive and insulting as the message.<br><br>And to answer your question, I don't have a problem with the UK. I don't really care how you live or how anyone in Europe lives. If you all want to move further and further left, go for it. But don't try to impose your will on us in America. I do know that we are currently under socialist attack from within, but we're working on that. Hegemony, as you lefties want to impose on the world--one worldview, yours, is not the way to be tolerant and to live in peace. Accepting that we are not Europe and have no desire to be like Europe would go a long way to improving our ability to get along.<br><br>(Sorry, Kid, I don't mean to take over your blog!)Fuzzy Slippershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13021615731454709413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323117222166894889.post-26480798801742356222010-01-05T08:50:19.746-05:002010-01-05T08:50:19.746-05:00Oh for goodness sake FS, I am not saying that the ...Oh for goodness sake FS, I am not saying that the definition of an open-mind is to throw one's beliefs out of the window - though there is always room for change.

This is the same thing that is being pressed here by liberals in Congress: unless republicans bow to the liberal will and embrace the government takeover of our healthcare system they "have no solutions" or are "obstructionists." This, in itself, is narrow-minded. Only my viewpoint is viable; therefore, if you do not embrace it, you are wrong, close-minded, or some other negative thing? Ridiculous. And yet another example of the manipulations by the left. Our embracing socialism may be "open-minded" to you, but it would be an abandonment of our history, our culture, our beliefs, and our principles. None of which, I for one, am willing to abandon to appear "open minded" to people I think are among the most close-minded, intolerant people on this earth (well, okay, Islamic extremists may take the top spot there).Fuzzy Slippershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13021615731454709413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323117222166894889.post-89072415691044256792010-01-05T08:12:17.940-05:002010-01-05T08:12:17.940-05:00Hi Kid!

(And the food IS better in the UK IMO - but that's subjective I guess and I know all the states have very different cuisine.

Like it needed that. ;-OThe_Kidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323117222166894889.post-28898731380266510342010-01-04T21:03:19.612-05:002010-01-04T21:03:19.612-05:00I loved Warwick Castle! And you're right, you...I loved Warwick Castle! And you're right, you do get that long historical view (especially from those towers, if you braved the crazy curved stone staircase?). And you're right, things there are crazy expensive, maybe because they don't make much there and have to import it all? (ugh, kind of like us these days, where our crazy government has turned fertile farmland into a desert to protect a stupid smelt fish.)<br><br>That's okay if they don't want to be capitalist, but it's NOT OKAY for them to demand or push or prod or nag or "shame" or cajole us into adopting their self-defeating, self-delusional socialist practices. It's disgusting, and it always gets my back up when they slither around hammering their ineffective and useless worldview like it's supreme. Um, gee, isn't that exactly what they claim to hate about us? Hmmmmmmm. Yet, the leftie loons are ever at it. Does anyone really think that Nobel was anything other than a carrot to try to dictate our foreign policy? BO, of course, is chomping at the bit to leap into the socialist cesspool of mediocrity and want. Oops, not going to happen. Big changes are coming this year. Lots of hope, to go with it. ;)Fuzzy Slippershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13021615731454709413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323117222166894889.post-71113386544292210182010-01-04T21:00:11.404-05:002010-01-04T21:00:11.404-05:00Fuzzy, Yes, Teensy little fridges. Teensy little ...Fuzzy, Yes, Teensy little fridges. Teensy little everything.<br><br>I had a lawnmower that would have gone great with the Easy Bake Oven by Fischer Price. Electric. After mowing 5% of a 100 square foot yard, it cried Uncle and begged to be put back in the Half Car garage. That's why I went to DIY to buy a weedwhacker. Only it was no better. I finally gave up and let the yard go.<br>hahahahaThe_Kidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323117222166894889.post-78041802473779693102010-01-04T20:55:26.747-05:002010-01-04T20:55:26.747-05:00Fuzzy, Yes, that's my impression of a lot of E...Fuzzy, Yes, that's my impression of a lot of England.<br><br>On the one hand, everything was so backward, so non-fuinctional from an infrastructure/appliance point of view, yet the folks I worked with were very bright and cutting edge technology wise. It was odd in that respect and kept me on my toes.<br><br>The place was like a fairy tale though. We went to Warwick castle and standing on the ramparts, you could just visualize armies of infantry and horse mounts heading for you across the beautiful boundless green fields.<br><br>I drove past several ponds full of white swan on my way to work at MFI HQ.<br><br>I loved the roundabouts, the architecture, the rolling fields and all the beautiful charming little houses, hundreds of years old. It was like story book forest. The problem was the down-scaling of everything, the horrid gasoline prices, the incredible expensiveness of everything. If I wasn't there on expenses, I wouldn't have stayed more than a few days.<br><br>I did some math while I was there and concluded the average entry level job paid half as much as in the US and everyday items like suits or pizza were twice as expensive. I don't know how the average person got by.<br><br>Anyway, Oddly, the socialists don't want to move to capitalism and a better standard of living, they want to bring the rest of us down into the mediocrity pond instead.<br><br>So that we're ALL subjects of the kingdom. At least the queen has commoners over for tea once in a while. I wouldn't expect the same from nanna pelosi or any of the rest of those buttheads past present or future.The_Kidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323117222166894889.post-3678378602064986202010-01-04T20:41:50.246-05:002010-01-04T20:41:50.246-05:00Opus, yea that's where it's headed right n...Opus, yea that's where it's headed right now.The_Kidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323117222166894889.post-49051935453632053532010-01-04T20:39:16.081-05:002010-01-04T20:39:16.081-05:00Cambridge LadyBeatles as Citizens?
