http://journals.democraticunderground.com/... They (republicans)are once again creating information to fit the facts. Where/who is the control group? Are they taking into consideration that British doctors prescribe sunlight, acupuncture and homeopathic remedies?
There are no statistics to prove a thing they are saying. What scientific information was studied by those making that statement? There are too many variables therefore that statement is not factual. I cannot logically say their statement is true.
I can state that British subjects are healthier because they have access to health care and health care practitioners whether or not they have to means to pay, (since they don't have to.) I can say that people in the UK are educated properly by their health care system and thus suffer lower mortality rates. I can say that due to the fact that the good people in England don't take the same type and amounts of pharmaceuticals that Americans do that they are not being poisoned therefore they live longer. Do any of those statement seem valid to you? There was a leap taken and it was unscientific, it would not be logical to say any of the above statements were fact. They are opinion, hyperbole and conjecture.
