INTERESTING STATISTICS
A recent “Investor’s Business Daily” article provided very interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health Organization.
Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:
U.S. 65%
England 46%
Canada 42%
Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received treatment within six months:
U.S. 93%
England 15%
Canada 43%
Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six months:

England 14%
Canada 18%
Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are
in “excellent health”:
U.S. 12%

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want “Universal Healthcare” comparable to England or Canada .
ANOTHER VERY INTERESTING FACT!
The percentage of each past president’s cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet. You know what the private business sector is... a real life business, not a government job. Here are the percentages.
T. Roosevelt ....... 38%
Taft...................... 40%
Wilson ................. 52%
Harding.................49%
Coolidge.............. 48%
Hoover................. 42%
F. Roosevelt......... 50%
Truman................. 50%
Eisenhower........... 57%
Kennedy.............. 30%
Johnson................47%
Nixon.................... 53%
Ford..................... 42%
Carter................... 32%
Reagan.................56%
GH Bush.............. 51%
Clinton ................ 39%
GW Bush............. 55%
And the winner of the Chicken Dinner is..............Obama.................8%!!!
Yep! That’s right! Only Eight Percent! The least by far of the last 19 presidents!!
And these yokels are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business? They know what’s best for GM...Chrysler...Wall Street... and you and me??? Duh!!!!
How can the president of a major nation and society...the one with the most successful economic system in world history... stand and talk about business when he’s never worked for one?.. Or about jobs when he has never really had one??!
And neither have 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers..! They’ve spent most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs....or as “community organizers”...When they should have been in an employment line.
"The purpose of this lawsuit is to reverse Supreme Court precedent related to the Commerce clause and thereby overturn Obamacare. The Supreme Court has historically erred in its interpretation of the Constitutional role of the Federal Government. Recent Supreme Court rulings hint that they may be willing to take another look at Commerce clause precedent. Obamacare is so over reaching and so onerous, that it must either be repealed in Congress or struck down in the courts. We must fight this on both fronts. This is our historic opportunity to reverse America’s trend toward Socialism by overturning this unconstitutional precedent.
If you are a US citizen and agree with the goal of this lawsuit, please join us. If you have concerns about joining, please review the FAQs for more information. Every person we add strengthens the voice of "We the People".

To date, ~32,000 U.S. Citizens from all states have signed on. Please pass the information posted above on to others and encourage them to do likewise.
One of the things I keep seeing is they want to do LESS PSA screenings in men. It like less mammograms is a very STUPID idea. Next it will be less colon screenings. Less skin screenings. Hubby just had a pre-cancer skin lesion frozen from his arm last week.
Medicare hasn’t paid their bills in 2 months according to hubby’s knee doctor this morning.
I am going to try and keep this thread a daily thing. Just post it on that way it will get seen more we hope.
