Proof such as it is.

Joe gets kidney stone. Surgury to remove stone $15K.

Pill to ease pain, allow stone to pass $1.

Savings to insurance $14,999.

Stone is gone. Medicine worked.

Problem eventually occurs is your logic for why you wouldn't give someone hypertension medicine. You're a cold fellow. I agree that there needs to be some logic but the majority of medicine does improve quality of life. If you think taking a knife to someone is preferrable to taking a pill where possible, you are blind man.

Sorry, I don't have time to do a detailed breakdown for someone who will not accept it. And sorry the media won't or can't help with such an analysis. So, I have to believe that Delay, Bush, Frist, my gut (and lying eyes) are right or Hillary, Ted Kennedy, or CNN are right.

I wish someone would do a real analysis and report the truth but until then, I know who I believe.

I certainly would accept the results of a legitimate analysis. Frankly I don't know what the answer is, and freely admit it. And since you stated, "The real facts are that people who get prescription medicine need less surgury and hospital care." I assume you did have the facts. What you're telling me now is that what you have aren't "real facts". Rather, it's your assumption - which may or may not be correct.

Honestly I find it rather strange that you assert something to be "fact", I ask for your evidence, and immediately you call me "cold", insinuate that I wouldn't accept the analysis anyway, and claim I'd prefer taking a knife to someone instead of giving them medication. Next time you think something to be true, say that as opposed to claiming it is true.
