Arm Yourself With The Truth

We're fascinated/horrified by this new comparison from Consumer Reports about preventable deaths in the U.S. vs. other nations (aka: those with universal health care.)

Excerpt: "...If the U.S. could improve and reach the average of 18 other countries, much 75,000 deaths a year would be saved. If the U.S. could reach the rate of the top three countries, there would be 101,000 fewer deaths per year. Something to keep in mind the next time you hear a politician boast that the U.S. has "the best health care in the world" or warn of the supposed horrors of the British or Canadian systems..." [Consumer Reports]

We'll talk about this on Friday's show, for sure.
