IMPORTANT BREAST CANCER HOSPITALIZATION BILL
This bill is important legislation for all women and also for all men
whose loved ones might be or are victims of this disease. I am one of
those men. Breast cancer killed my dear wife twelve years ago!
Please send this to everyone in your address book. If there was ever a
time when our voices and choices should be heard, this is one of those
times. You are receiving this because I earnestly hope that you will
take the 30 seconds to go and vote on this issue...and send it on to
others you know who will do the same.
There's a bill called the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act which
will require insurance companies to cover a minimum 48-hour hospital
stay for patients undergoing a mastectomy. It's about eliminating the
"drive-through mastectomy" where women are forced to go home hours after
surgery against the wishes of their doctor,still groggy from anesthesia
and sometimes with drainage tubes still attached. Lifetime Television
has put this bill on its web page with a petition drive to show your
support. Last year over half the House signed on. PLEASE!!!! Sign the
petition by clicking on the web site below and help women living with
breast cancer get the care they need and deserve!! There is no cost or
monetary pledge involved. You need not give more than your name and zip
code number.
http://www.lifetimetv.com/health/bre...my_pledge.html This
takes only a few seconds. PLEASE PASS THIS ON. THANKS AND GOD BLESS.

With all due respect to cancer victims, this bill only applies to the
7% of the world's population living within the confines of USAia, and
even more precisely to that part which is female (approx. 3.5001% of
the world's population). Perhaps next time you could be a bit more
explicit and save the remaining 93% of the world's population the
trouble of trying to figure what this is. Thank you.

Hello Michel,
It is people like you---non-compassionate nincompoops---who make this
world a lesser place in which to reside. May you never get breast
cancer! If you do, your attitude will change. Grow up! You are a pitiful
example of humanity.
Sincerely,
Marcus A.

And in countries like Australia we have free public hospitals where
treatment depends on your illness and not your bank balance.

Meaning that those 7% are not important??? That a bill protecting the
welfare of that "3.5001%" should be ignored so you can puff up and
make some utterly obscure and destructively ludicrous comment that
you can show your amis in the brasserie? Or do you mean that your
compatriots are too dumb to figure out that the context of the posted
message was American? What a waste ...

Michel,

Men also get breast cancer and they also get mastectomies. It's just not
talked about much.

Meaning that those 7% are a limited constituency.

Don't be ludicrous. There was no mention of the fact that this bill
was intended for USAians.

Next time I have things going only to Canadians, I'll post here and
not let you know in any way that this doesn't concern anyone else.
Heel, it wasn't even posted as OT. I'm well within the rules of
savoir-faire in complaining and you are not.

Due mostly to the fact that they seek medical help much later than women do.

Where did I state what my sex was? How did I lie about it? And how is
wrong to point out that a simple reference to the US in the original
post would have been basic politeness and saved me the trouble of
reading it when it did not apply to me in any way shape or form? You
sir are the jackass for assuming you can deduce anything from my post
other than my annoyance at a faux-pas. I certainly made no offense to
sufferers of cancer or any other debilitating disease. I fail to see
from whence you draw your source of opprobrium except from the top of
your own head.

On August 8, 1996, my wife died from Breast Cancer at Memorial Sloan
Kettering Hospital in Manhattan. I do know your pain.

While I completely understand your concerns and emotions, this is not
the place to discuss it.

Two years ago I underwent emergency surgery in a Honduran hospital (gall
bladder).
I was in the hospital for twelve days.
On the table for six and a half hours!
Private room, air conditioned, cable TV, flower surrounded balcony
overlooking a golf course and a friendly professional attentive staff - more
tropical resort than hospital!
An additional ten days of out-patient care and all medicine and tests were
included.
The cost? $6,000.00 CAD which was paid for by my Canadian government health
plan.
My doctors back in Canada could find nothing wrong with the care I received
and they tried - with a battery of examinations and tests.
The downside?
(food related)
My digestion is now working so good that I have to watch my weight for the
first time in my life - damnit.

Third world health care? - bring it on!

Regards.
Ken.

Wolfie is under the mistaken impression that fiction is reality. The
whole thing about his Third World crapola is based on misinformation
and innuendo from the dexter masturbators he hangs out with. It stems
from a comment made in passing in an editorial in the Wall Street
Journal about ten years ago expressing distaste with a particular
Canadian policy by saying that Canada was a (and I quote) "honorary
member of the Third World". Strangely enough, that was a reaction to
uncontrolled spending by the Mulroney government, a conservative
government.

http://www.newswire.ca/fr/releases/a.../11/c3861.html

So, what started out as mere bilious invective on the part of a
corporate arsewipe rag has now been transformed without any attempt to
actually check any facts related to this into a "fack" by the US right-
wingers...well the stupid ones anyway.

The sad fact is that you get good health care in Cuba at a less
burdensome price to the state and you get somewhat better results.
Here are the numbers from the WHO:

Cuba: Total population: 11,271,000
GDP per capita (Intl $, 2001): 3,168
Life expectancy at birth m/f (years): 75.0/79.3
Healthy life expectancy at birth m/f (years): 67.1/69.5
Child mortality m/f (per 1000): 8/7
Adult mortality m/f (per 1000): 138/89
Total health expenditure per capita (Intl $, 2001): 229
Total health expenditure as % of GDP (2001): 7.2

US: Total population: 291,038,000
GDP per capita (Intl $, 2001): 35,182
Life expectancy at birth m/f (years): 74.6/79.8
Healthy life expectancy at birth m/f (years): 67.2/71.3
Child mortality m/f (per 1000): 9/7
Adult mortality m/f (per 1000): 140/83
Total health expenditure per capita (Intl $, 2001): 4,887
Total health expenditure as % of GDP (2001): 13.9

Canada: Total population: 31,271,000
GDP per capita (Intl $, 2001): 29,235
Life expectancy at birth m/f (years): 77.2/82.3
Healthy life expectancy at birth m/f (years): 70.1/74.0
Child mortality m/f (per 1000): 6/5
Adult mortality m/f (per 1000): 95/58
Total health expenditure per capita (Intl $, 2001): 2,792
Total health expenditure as % of GDP (2001): 9.5

I also offer Canada by way of comparison. I would say that overall,
healthcare is as efficient in Cuba as it is in the US (45 year-old
embargo notwithstanding) and that health care is better in Canada than
in the US. Life expectancy is higher, child mortality is lower, total
health expenditures per capita are half the cost of the US (we don't
have to support 200 different administrations). GDP per capita in Cuba
is 1/10th that of the US and in Canada almost the same.

The WHO ranking of world healthcare systems (2000):

1 France
2 Italy
3 San Marino
4 Andorra
5 Malta
6 Singapore
7 Spain
8 Oman
9 Austria
10 Japan
11 Norway
12 Portugal
13 Monaco
14 Greece
15 Iceland
16 Luxembourg
17 Netherlands
18 United Kingdom
19 Ireland
20 Switzerland
21 Belgium
22 Colombia
23 Sweden
24 Cyprus
25 Germany
26 Saudi Arabia
27 United Arab Emirates
28 Israel
29 Morocco
30 ---> Canada
31 Finland
32 Australia
33 Chile
34 Denmark
35 Dominica
36 Costa Rica
37 ---> United States of America
38 Slovenia
39 ---> Cuba
---
188 Democratic Republic of the Congo
189 Central African Republic
190 Myanmar

I'd say the US has a long way to go to claim to be the best. In fact,
it would have to catch up to just about every "Third World" nation that
Wolfie can think of in his bestest ever self-congratulatory (emphasis
on the tory) wet dream.

Now, just watch the dexters claim this is all lies :-) What they fail
to realize is that they're the new stand-up comics. Let's all have a
good belly laugh at their expense ;-)

I see The is showing his usual acumen in developing a counterargument
to the information I disseminated here yesterday.

You must excuse The. He doesn't understand killfiles, even after I
took the trouble to explain them to him at length and found him a
newsclient for his Mac (heeheehee :-) ) that supports killfiling.
He doesn't understand that, even if HIS posts are killfiled, I can
still read his stuff which is included in other posts. The only way
he could be completely invisible to me is to stop posting here.

But what can you expect from a dexter masturbator?
