I’m interested in this worst performing stat. By what measure? Because I’ve always read that when controlling for the relative poor health of the us population regarding diseases related to poor eating and exercise habits, the US was a top performer for heart and cancer treatments.
- mdoms 5y agoSo if you imagine that USA was healthy then health outcomes look great?
- telxosser 5y agoI am pushing 50 years of age and one constant in my life is people shitting on the US healthcare system. I have family in Canada with family members the same age on both sides. Canada is great if you are a healthy broke college student. No one in their right mind would ever pick Canadian health care over the US though if you are 60+. There is no way you would rather have cancer in a country with free health care.
- standardUser 5y ago"There is no way you would rather have cancer in a country with free health care." Unless you can't afford for-profit healthcare. Then any sane person would 100% prefer one of the fifty or so developed nations with free healthcare.
- samoa42 5y agoalso safe to say that a vast majority of ppl on the planet can't afford for-profit cancer treatment
