Your issues are obviously ideological and I am impressed that you can dredge up figures from a decade back. How does it compare with the survival rate in Reno ?You are one thick fucker.The NHS is struggling at the moment due to the fact that the Tories have cut funding. This has been done on ideological grounds. The principle of it still shines bright like a beacon of civilisation.You obviously need a National Health Service.
You might want to look up how that is failing in the UK. It's pretty bad when the ambulances have to drive their patients around for hours because the ER's are flooded. You see, when you hit the ER you have to be seen within a certain time (too many were dying waiting, so now they just cart them around until they expire or they can be seen. Yeppers, the NHS is a disaster of the first order.

Senior doctors say the failings exposed by the Care Quality Commission report are 'severe and alarming'

The NHS has ALWAYS struggled. Show us a time when it wasn't killing people who otherwise would have lived. Socialized medicine is great so long as you don't get sick. Then it comes down to do you have enough money to go get treatment elsewhere.
In the UK, women with breast cancer live less time than here in the USA. That is a fact. In Reno, there is a whole wing devoted to Canadian patients who come down for their surgical procedures. There are two Canadian politicians who fled to the USA to get their procedures done because they wanted to live.
You and your socialized health care are crap.
You could have pointed to cervical cancer and skin and lung cancer where the UK figures are better. Heart disease which is better. Alzheimer and dementia survival is also better in the UK.
There are probably other areas that the US is better but in all honesty both countries could do better.
I could go on but the point is you cant pick a couple of random stats to invalidate a system that has served us well in all our lifetimes.
Reno aint the world either.
I think when it comes to thick fuckers you are right there at the top of the heap, sport. I can go toe to toe with you any day of the week on this matter doofus. I am blinder free.
UK cancer survival rates below European average
“Cancer survival in Britain the worst in Europe,” The Daily Telegraph reports.
This and many other similar headlines are prompted by a major new study on cancer survival rates in Europe from 1997 to 2007.
While survival rates have tended to improve, cancer survival still varies widely between European countries. The lowest survival rates for most cancers were found in eastern Europe."
