THE FACTS

If I had the congressman's health plan, I might think the US has the best in the world, too.  If John Boehner had my high premiums and lousy benefits on the only health plan I can get, he might reconsider.  Here's what David G Markham thinks:

JOHN BOEHNER is wrong.  America does not have the best health care in the world.

The Facts - Boehner is wrong - The US does not have the best health care in the world
I am tired of the lies. It's time that Americans of which Brockporters are a local contingent know the truth.

In spite of what John Boehner new Republican speaker of the house says, health care in the United States is not the best in the world. In fact, it leaves a tremendous amount to be desired.

As Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan said one time, "People are entitled to their own opinions, but they are not entitled to their own facts."

From now on there will be a new category of posts on this blog tagged simply, "The Facts"

From the New England Journal of Medicine on January 6, 2010

"It is hard to ignore that in 2006, the United States was number 1 in terms of health care spending per capita but ranked 39th for infant mortality, 43rd for adult female mortality, 42nd for adult male mortality, and 36th for life expectancy.3 These facts have fueled a question now being discussed in academic circles, as well as by government and the public: Why do we spend so much to get so little?"

  1. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
