Take a look into low birth weight babies born in Canada vs the

rick, you wanted to play a statistical game. Here's a tip, next
time,
before you try that tactic, know what the statistics say in
advance
(and don't use them if they make you out to be the fool).
====================
Before dishonestly trying to make a post say something that it
doesn't, you should annotate your snipping.



On healthcare spending: On a per capita basis (1998) USA -
$4178
Canada - $2312, Sweden - $1746...

Crissakes, rick, this can't be right!!! All that money, and the
highly
touted privatized medical system to boot, and the USA still
can't beat
Canada on any meaningful statistics like life expectancy and
infant
mortality. Playing this game with you, rick, is like Canada
playing the
USA in hockey: you lose before you've even laced up your
skates.

rick, I look forward to the next big load of health (Or
education. Or
crime. etc) statistics you want to bring up. At the risk of
mixing my
metaphors (hockey to baseball), I feel confident that I'll
blast them
out of the park as well.
=======================
I look forward to an honest post from you, ever. I have never
made any claims that the US system is the best. My reply was
about a specific claim made by kamn. I made an approriate reply
to his claim. Too bad you can't honestly reply to posts on
usenet, eh?
