I read the other day that between 44,000 and 96,000 Americans die EVERY
YEAR from medical mistakes in hospitals....not natural deaths, MEDICAL
MISTAKES.

While considering a number in the middle between those two death rates, go
look up the number of people weighing over 300 pounds it killed and, of
course, the yearly number of US casualties in Iraq or Afghanistan or
Vietnam or Korea. Notice how the numbers they are trying to make you think
about are FAR less than the number of mistakes THEY, the medical
bureaucracies, make in only 12 months!

You're much safer in Baghdad in a flak jacket than you are in a bed in
Mercy Hospital in any city in America......

or weighing 300 pounds, fat, dumb and happy on the street.....

Or driving a car - 50,000 a year die in car accidents.

But just think how many health programs could have been paid for with the
trillion dollars that Bush spent in Iraq...

But wouldn't that raise up the awful medical mistake death rate, maybe
above 100,000 deaths a year?!

Staring death rates like these in the face, I'd think we need LESS health
programs, not more....
