Researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine ranked the U.S. last among 19 leading industrialized countries in deaths that could have been prevented by access to timely and effective healthcare. You can read the Reuters article or visit the school’s site for the actual report.
Here are responses from some of our politicians:
- “Their methodology was wrong. We’re actually number 1 in timely and effective deaths.”
- “Socialized medicine is not the answer.”
- “For that matter, neither is affordable healthcare.”
- “I’m still alive, so what’s the problem?”
- “Stay the course!”
- “Mission accomplished!”
