Health Care System Leading Cause of Death and Injury in the USA.
What good is focusing on health insurance when the real problem is medical incompetence and negligence?

Nearly 800,000 wrongful deaths and 20 million injuries every year! Osama only needs to bide his time. The American health care system will do the job for him!

Don't be duped into thinking that health insurance is the answer--its the problem!

5. Gary Null, PhD; Carolyn Dean MD, ND; Martin Feldman, MD; Debora Rasio, MD; and Dorothy Smith, PhD
These people are Doctors, not snake oil salesman and these statistics are reported by the National Institutes of Science and the Department of Health and Human Services.

6. So, how would life expectancy be affected if we eliminated the system altogether?
I hypothesize that it would decrease. More women and children would die in childbirth. More kids would succumb to preventable childhood diseases. Accident victims would be less likely to survive. And if you get cancer, forget about it.
