Via Think Progress, Sen. James Inhofe (R-Church):
When you tell people that the mortality rate in Canada is 25% higher for breast cancer, 18% higher for prostate cancer, you know, they say why in the world would we emulate a system like that? This is life threatening.
And then when you tell those people that the mortality rate for mortality is 3% higher in the United States, they’re all, so why in the world did you give me that line of bullshit about breast cancer and prostrates, you stone-faced Okie gargoyle?
Brad adds: OHGOODYOHGOODYOHGOODY!!!! I’ve been waiting to do one of these! Let’s get started, shall we?
Circulatory disease deaths per 100,000:
Child maltreatment deaths per 100,000:
Digestive disease deaths per 100,000:
Infant mortality rate per 1,000 live births
Intestinal diseases death rate
Proability of not reaching age 60:
Respiratory disease child death rate per 100,000
Heart disease deaths per 100,000:
HIV deaths per million people:
You get the point. If this is “socialized medicine,” sign me the hell up.
