Sorry, I don't have time to do a detailed breakdown for someone who will not accept it. 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.

Perhaps you didn't read my post. I PERSONALLY have benefited from medicine over surgury as has my insurance company. So, it is not improbable.
Further, I PERSONALLY have talked to Doctors who indicated that treating illness with medicine is significantly better for patients rather than putting them in hospitals.
Giving no coverage limits what the medical community can do.
To say that medicine does not improve the quality of care is idiotic. My doctor gives me medicine over medical treatment as does the doctor of everyone I know. Wait a minute, it's a grand conspiracy to wring more money out of us. My doctor secretly knows that I'll be back to get the care that my prescription medicine isn't fixing.
Pick at a thread to justify your narrow minded opinion if you like but I'm guessing you haven't read the bill either and have no clue what the implications are. All this rhetoric about cost is just rhetoric.
Let's just buy our all our medicine from Canada. That is just as likely to solve the problem as whining about it.
But, we can agree that the media is useless. Or, there would be a complete analysis. That would be the same media that picked the points that everyone is whining about.
