The Myth About United States Health Care Not Being The Best

In a typical Liberal smear campaign, the Liberals have been denouncing health care in the United states as being highest in cost but far down the list in quality. Obama, Pelosi, Waxman and others in Congress repeat the theme of the Michael Moore fantasy movie "Sicko"(no-one can legitimately dignify it by calling it a documentary) that U.S. health care is worse than that in many other countries, including Cuba. One had to wonder why we didn't see Ted Kennedy rush off to Cuba or some other country to get treatment for his brain tumor. Meanwhile, hear are some facts:
1. According to an August 2009 report from the National Bureau of Economic Research, patients diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. have a better chance of surviving cancer than anywhere else.
2. The World Health Organizationalso rates the U.S. No.1 out of 191 countries for responsiveness to the needs and choices of the individual patient.
