You're absolutely right, my evidence is anecdotal. But I'm 36 years old now, and I've been in and out of hospital probably thousands of times and had medical care each day in one form or another.

(And, of course, there's other issues with anecdote about what other people think, since what that really is is is one persons inferences about what lots of other people think.)
