Maybe other countries do not get cancer as much as we do, because they
have routine doctor's exams.



Coincidentally a friend of mine in the UK had breast cancer about a year
ago. She got timely and thorough treatment. She is recovering well.

Female Survival rates -- all cancers:
US 62.9%
Wales 54.1%
England 52.7%
Scotland 48.0%

Those are five year survival rates, so the NHS still has plenty of
time to kill her. I hope she doesn't live in Scotland.

BTW -- Still waiting for you to back up that statement of yours: "30%
of our health care dollars are going to the insurance company
profits." ... Evelyn

Waiting ...
