usa cancer deaths
When the USA 5 year cancer death rate is higher than socialized medicine, how is that lying?
One poster asked a question about why republicans are distorting the truth about socialized medicine. Here is one fact – Cancer rates in the USA are much higher than in the rest of the world.
Everyone has access to the same drugs and same medical procedures. The question to ask is – why is there a difference between the USA and the rest of the world on cancer survival
According to the U.K.’s Office of National Statistics, the five-year relative survival rate for patients diagnosed with prostate cancer between 1993 and 1995 (and thus followed up to 1998 or 2000) was 59.8 percent, The National cancer Institute’s Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results database puts concurrent U.S. rates at 95.4 percent. As with the more recent figures, there is indeed a significant difference,
The USA and Japan have highest cancer survival rates

Averages are based on percentage of population and by different grading standards. It’s the same as calling us the biggest polluter when actually China and India are but, because their population is higher, they show less “carbon usage” per person! They same “research” probably puts us low in infant mortality rates also because, once again, we grade differently. But if you use as a source someone’s “evidence” who advocates for socialized medicine, I think it may come up a bit BIASED, don’t you?
