I hate having to quote myself.

 

I partake in such endeavors.

 

This is completely biased in so many ways, I don't have the time to list them.

 

biased? your health-care sucks. get used to it.

 

Our healthcare is one of the best in the world.

For example, on average, there are more mammogram scanners in one state than there are in all of Canada. And the reason our death rate is so high is because of murder and auto accidents, nothing a doctor can possibly fix. And according to most health rankings, if there are two patients with the same disease, and you can only save one, its "better" to let them both die than to save the one (Which is what we do). Tell me that's not biased.

 

What the hell? Let them both die? That's the stupidest thing I heard in a while.

 

WTF?! What you said is complete BS. Period.

 

You could use number of family members, are they married, ect. as deciding factors. Hell, flip a coin atleast.

 

This paragraph is so stupid a facepalm doesn't even begin to describe how stupid it is.

 

False, incoherent, or all the other negative superlatives you can find.

 

Omega's post deserves a thread of its own.

 

In some ways, it is also one of the most ineffecient in the world and the most inefficient in the developed world. As well as other issues, such as how just because you have a lot of mammogram scanners doesn't meant that the entire population that needs access to one has access, as large portions don't.

 

Now that's going a little too far.

 

nice, omega. real nice.

our doctors try to save everyone. no matter how bad their chances are. equal chance of survival doesn't matter, we have enough manpower to help them both.
