This IS quite interesting.

Very hard to deny the facts.
There are actually two messages here. The first is very interesting,
but the second is absolutely astounding- and explains a lot.

A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very interesting
statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health
Organization.


Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:

U.S. 65%

England 46%

Canada 42%


Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received treatment
within six months:

U.S. 93%

England 15%

Canada 43%


Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six months:

U.S. 90%

England 15%

Canada 43%


Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within one month:

U.S. 77%

England 40%

Canada 43%


Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million people:

U.S. 71

England 14

Canada 18


And now for the last statistic:

National Health Insurance?

U.S. NO

England YES

Canada YES



Check the second set of statistics!!

The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the
private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.
You know what the private business sector is - a real-life business,
not a government job. Here are the percentages.


T. Roosevelt..................38%

Taft..............................40%

Wilson ...........................52%

Harding.........................49%

Coolidge........................48%

Hoover ...........................42%

F. Roosevelt...................50%

Truman..........................50%

Eisenhower.....................57%

Kennedy.........................30%

Johnson..........................47%

Nixon..............................53%

Ford................................42%

Carter..............................32%

Reagan............................56%

G.H.W. Bush.....................51%

Clinton ..............................39%

G.W. Bush........................55%

Obama...............................8%


This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration: only 8%
of them have ever worked in private business!

That's right! Only eight percent---the least, by far, of the last 19
presidents! And these people are trying to tell our big corporations
how to run their business?

How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the
most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about
business when he's never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has
never really had one? And when it's the same for 92% of his senior
staff and closest advisers? They've spent most of their time in
academia, government and/or non-profit jobs or as "community
organizers." They should have been in an employment line.

Pass this on because we'll NEVER see these facts in the main stream media.

I will bet you a dollar to a donut that the liberals will refuse to read this or that they are to hard headed to accept it.

They will claim it is lie.

Where do I get my donut?

Then why don't you give us a real link? Can YOU find it? Instead of just imagining it?

Cheers,

These numbers are being posted on various Tea Party websites, that in and of itself does not make them untrue. If you want to dispute the veracity of the numbers I suggest that you do some research and provide links.

I did and didn't find it, hence the request for a URL. Granted, I'm not the greatest in searching for something like that, but I will always ask for a reference if I can't find something like that.

Just copy and paste some of the text into your search engine and you will be surprised and how efficient google or others can be at returning results... that's how I found it.

True, but it makes them highly suspect, especially when the source can not be found! I'm still searching!

Not a source, some unknown poster on a message board.
There is not a UN International Health Organization and there is no source article on the health figures.
