Tough Personal Summer for Pop

He did well because 99% of the countries wealth is going to 1% of the population.

This is the 2nd dumbest post I've read in my life. Then please explain why everyone on earth wants to come here and make a better life? The percentage breakdown you describe above is indicative of socialist countries like Cuba and Venezuela. Capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than any other economic system, period hands down. Hence, that's why most of the world's immigrants want to come here instead of crap holes like Venezuela, Cuba, or Brazil.

No, that is the most honest and truthful post of what the insurance companies and lobbyists do! Unfortunately, these greedy bas s would lose money if there was a cure! It's just plain sad!

100% False. Do you realize how wealthy and successful a pharmaceutical company would be if they found a cure for cancer? Billions and billions of dollars are spent each year in research and development to ultimately find that cure. They're investing this money (their own money mostly) so they can be the first to make that breakthrough drug or vaccine. If they do find a cure, every man, woman and child in the world will want the vaccine. If there's any ins ution that is placing obstacles in the way of a cure it is government bureaucracy, not private businesses and industries.

All of of you are stuck in the two party paradigm. Nobody makes it far in the primaries without proving they're a good puppet. They all say a few things that sound anti establishment, but in the end, they all will grow government, go to war, and spend money like drunken sailors. Until you understand the federal reserve, IMF, world bank, mansantos, petrodollar, and the military industrial complex, you don't know jack. Step away from msnbc and fox and go search hard for the real news, because it is not easy to find

As for medical issues, I would look at food and environment as the main causes of cancer. We consume so much synthetic and genetically altered foods, our bodies don't know how to process it. Medicine can only do so much when people are being exposed to so much garbage. It seems like cancer is more common than it ever has been.... WHY? Did medicine get worse? I don't think so. We have the first generations exposed to fast food and processed foods moving into their 50 s 60s and 70s while all of the younger generations have been practically raised on it. It's pretty clear to me. I won't argue either that big pharma plays a roll, but it starts with what we expose ourselves to first

[tbdog]

Ever wonder why cancer rates are much higher than they used to be?

Look at the in your food.
Look at the viruss in some vaccines.
The put in the air.

Cancer is basically man triggered.

Rumours its even man made.

The cure will not be released to the general public.

Cheers

W....T....F? cure for cancer not being released to the general public? What Illuminati are you smoking? There are well over 200 cancers, plus a tone of sub cancners, all which require different treatments. And we are getting better and better and treating cancers, as long as we catch it before it spreads. Problem is there are a lot of cancers that don't give symptoms until it has spread.

Okay, just stop. The main reason why cancer is more common is actually due to how much better our health care is. We are living longer, and cancer drastically increases the older we get. That is your answer, right there. I am sure things like regular use of alcohol increases the chance of cancer. But the real reason is we living longer, and diagnosing it correctly and quickly.

Our health care is better? Please explain why our life expectancy in merica is barely a meager 80 and holding steady while more social healthcare countries such as Canada and North Europe are in the mid 80s and gaining?

free radicals alter genetic material
genetic material gets damaged and altered on a regular basis and your cells recognize this and repair them on a regular basis (except maybe in your case)

simply cooking something in the in the microwave which has has been a common theme for the last 50 years and increasingly so, causes all kinds of free radicals. Add in the increasing amounts of preservatives pesticides, food dyes and artificial sweeteners and you have a wave of agents that people were never exposed to 100 years ago.

We can also diagnose it better than 100 years you stupid . Before you just probably just ing died and no one put you in a statistic if you were poor.

Also the life expectancy is higher than before you stupid .

The amount of stupid in this thread is scary and depressing.

They have fewer lardasses. Doctors can't keep people from poisoning themselves with sugar and fast food.

Yeah... no. McD's, Burger King, KFC, Starbucks, Coke, Pepsi are everywhere over here in Europe and the locals line up to eat/drink that just like Americans do.

also, Tim Horton's Doughnuts is the favorite food group of almost every Canadian I've ever met. Europeans love their large pastries and puddings for breakfast. All are full of starch, Crisco, and sugar.

Yeah, perhaps you should quote your source material, because the WHO in their 2015 report has the highest life expectancy of ANY European country at 83 for Switzerland. The major population European countries are 2-3 years longer than the US. Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark are quite the norm against the rest of the EU. Not exactly an indictment against the US as you make it out to be.

And LOL on "meager" for 80 years old. We aren't supposed to live forever.

That's the religious perspective, okay. But assuming secularity, why not explore possibilities to better ourselves and our species and extend our youth and lives?

Hmmm, look at all those EU countries leading the world in cancer frequency. But their food, lifestyle and health care are so much better than the US!!!!1!

It has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with science. Mortality is not a religious construction.

When the US was founded, life expectancy was 35 years. In 1900 it was 47 years. In a matter of 200 years, the life expectancy of children born in the US has more than doubled.

[sandman]

For the record, I've lived over here for over 3 years. And I'm not in the military protected by an American "bubble". I work and live locally with Brits. I pay UK taxes. I am required by law to register with NHS and be assigned to a local clinic and doctor. I laugh every time people want to talk about the quality of health and health care in Europe. But they usually want to use Sweden and Norway with their 5 million people as an example, refusing to recognize that they are the extreme exception to the overall socialized medicine goat rodeo in the EU.

It's time to stop just accepting that and get a move on with anti-aging biomedical advancements. I want to live to 150+.

You get "assigned" to a doctor? What if he isn't that good and/or is an arse hole? Do you get to change? Is the quality usually okay over there?

So Sweden and Norway have better healthcare, how come?

Yes, you get assigned to your local clinic and a doctor within that clinic. I guess you could ask for another doctor in that clinic, but you can't go to another clinic. That is socialized medicine. You go to the clinic in your neighborhood and only the clinic in your neighborhood. Unless you have a referral. From the clinic in your neighborhood.

Define quality. Waiting a month to get an appointment for a sinus infection? Wellness visits are unheard of, along with the majority of preventative care that we expect in the States. They hand out canes like they are candy because it's useless trying to get into a podiatrist or knee/hip specialist. Thankfully my company provides private insurance for those times when I can't wait a month or need to see a specialist.

When you say Sweden and Norway have better healthcare, you need to be more specific. Norway specifically has a worse cancer rate than the US and neither lead Europe in life expectancy. They have a substantially higher suicide rate than the major countries in Southern Europe like Greece, Italy, France and Spain. I think a lot of people buy into those memes floating around about how free and happy everything is there.

Unfortunately, it's more true than anyone wants to believe. I definitely believe it. Pharmaceuticals is big business. Why fix someone when you can treat them and make money from it forever? I'm not saying its everything of course, but its definitely a real problem.

zPharma may fund some clinical trials but most of the research is done by university consortiums. Are you suggesting that the findings from clinical trials are biased against finding solutions to medical problems?? Afterall, most of our treatments come from the results of clinical trials - this is what is meant by evidence based medicine/
