You won’t hear these “talking points” in the We LOVE Obama media outlets (ABC, NBC, CBS, NYT, LAT, WAPO, etc. etc, etc.). Thanks to the Hoover Digest, you will now:
Medical care in the United States is derided as miserable compared to health care systems in the rest of the developed world. Economists, government officials, insurers, and academics beat the drum for a far larger government role in health care. Much of the public assumes that their arguments are sound because the calls for change are so ubiquitous and the topic so complex. Before we turn to government as the solution, however, we should consider some unheralded facts about America’s health care system.
1. Americans have better survival rates than Europeans for common cancers. {…}
2. Americans have lower cancer mortality rates than Canadians. {…}
3. Americans have better access to treatment for chronic diseases than patients in other developed countries. {…}
4. Americans have better access to preventive cancer screening than Canadians. {…}
5. Lower-income Americans are in better health than comparable Canadians. {…}
6. Americans spend less time waiting for care than patients in Canada and the United Kingdom. {…}
7. People in countries with more government control of health care are highly dissatisfied and believe reform is needed. {…}
8. Americans are more satisfied with the care they receive than Canadians. {…}
9. Americans have better access to important new technologies such as medical imaging than do patients in Canada or Britain. {…}
10. Americans are responsible for the vast majority of all health care innovations.
Lots o’ strong argument within those ellipses — best to just go read it all in total for your own selves!
