Another comparison of American health care

And another reason why we--America--need health care reform. Breaking news yesterday: France best, U.S. worst in preventable death ranking "France, Japan and Australia rated best and the United States worst in new rankings focusing on preventable deaths due to treatable conditions in 19 leading industrialized nations, researchers said on Tuesday." And what does this mean to you and me? This: "If the U.S. health care system performed as well as those of those top three countries, there would be 101,000 fewer deaths in the United States per year, according to researchers writing in the journal Health Affairs." But no, Republicans, we don' need no steenkeng healthcare reform, do we? Dolts. Link: http://www.reuters.com/article/2008/01/08/us-deaths-rankings-idUSN0765165020080108
