U.S. has second worst newborn death rate in modern world, report says.
The United States has the second worst newborn mortality rate in the developed world, according to a new report.

American babies are three times more likely to die in their first month as children born in Japan, and newborn mortality is 2.5 times higher in the United States than in Finland, Iceland or Norway, Save the Children researchers found

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19347441



Americans aren't having babies anymore. The majority of babies being born are hispanic.

Therefore, let's blame Mexico for the problem. It's their citizens who are killing their babies with neglect and booze.

Re: Government Health Care Kills More Brits Than Guns Kill Americans
I read a story awhile back the BNP put out on the subject. They say the biggest part of the problem is all the equal opportunity pakies and africans that are now working in hospitals.

These shitty third world immigrants step off the bananna boat right out of the stane age, don't undertsand even basic concepts of sanitation, don't wash their hands, never clean anything to even african hospital standards. So consequently they've created conditions similar to a hospital in Uganda or the Congo right in the heart of England. The hospitals are filthy, shitty and full of filthy and shitty workers.

So infections, horrible diseases and general third world ignorance and incompetence kill thousands every year. All so the limey government can say they're being more inclusive with the minorities.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31382212


jeez what are we giving away in order to be "inclusive?" a friend of mine was traveling in britain and fell and broke her leg. she was horrified at the hospital she was taken to and how she was treated.

she said veterinarians in the US are more competent and stables are cleaner. a once proud nation, eh?

From all indication, Brittains Health Care is so bad because the new world order antichrist beast and illuminuti bankers are ruling Brittain and killing as many of its people as they can!! These are very Satanic eugenicist who want to illeviate about 5 billion people from off of the planet. And it gives them great evil comfort to know that their doctors are working with them in doing this. First, they will kill as many elderly people as they can. And then they will continue to bring down the population through wars and diseases and so forth!! But the Almighty God of Heaven and His angels see everything; and their tormentings for their mass murdering genocides will cause them to be plagued and then defeated and thrown into the great lake of fire and brimstone!!

thank you thumbs

commentst after the article were interesting, a couple from canadians:

"Canada's health care system literally does not care about you once you turn 80."

"as one of the few Canadians opposed to universal healthcare and gun control I can tell you socialized medicine is a big fat cash cow,its inefficiency leaves you waiting for hours in the emergency room also it drives up your taxes income and retail, as for gun control at least we scrapped our gun registry"

when we were having the "debate" i read an article about canadians who come to the US for care and they begged us not to allow socialized medicine in the US as they didn't know where they would go for care. oh boy what a mess.
 Quoting: davvi


How many Americans die because they just cant afford treatment or surgery for a treatment? it must run into the tens of thousands..

At least in the UK you will always get the surgery or treatment even if you have to wait a while...and if it requires emergency treatment you will get it right away...
 Quoting: LosTLocos


I have NEVER heard of anyone denied treatment.
You go to the emergency room, you are in.

You may be billed, but our local level 4 trauma center does NOT turn anyone away, ever.

And you will get good care.

Having said that, I am someone who has worked in both nursing homes and hospitals here and in Germany.

There is no question whatsover in my mind that any sane
person avoids hospitals if they can,

but if you need care,
AMERICAN CARE IS VASTLY SUPERIOR.
 Quoting: beeches

And no family needs to leave their home because of one family members illness?
 Quoting: Libra II 1001450


They need to leave their homes in ANY country due to illness, of course they do.

If your family breadwinner is unable to work because of illness, you will need to live A LOT cheaper, whether you live in America OR Denmark OR Germany.
Unless of course you are already living on the dole, then of course it does not matter.

If you are already living in a subsidized flat before you become ill, then maybe you may not have to move.

But hey, the German system of subsidized housing would boot you out if your spouse died,

and you no longer needed a subsidized flat for 2 people, but only 1.

Would you rather have to move because your husband is ill and can no longer afford to pay the mortgage on your current house,

Or have him die, and be required to move to a smaller subsidized apartment or flat?

I would rather see people live.

In order for statistics to be a valid indicator, the same criteria must b used across the board and not the total using the criteria of each country.

Infant mortality figures for US are misleading

This is a misleading statistic as Dr. Linda Halderman explains:

Low birth weight infants are not counted against the "live birth" statistics for many countries reporting low infant mortality rates.

According to the way statistics are calculated in Canada, Germany, and Austria, a premature baby weighing <500g is not considered a living child.

But in the U.S., such very low birth weight babies are considered live births. The mortality rate of such babies - considered "unsalvageable" outside of the U.S. and therefore never alive - is extraordinarily high; up to 869 per 1,000 in the first month of life alone. This skews U.S. infant mortality statistics.

You assume a gradual increased killoff isn't someone's plan...?

As for the system, I've heard similar things before. And yeah, it's a pretty big fault HOWEVER, it's not an exact problem of that type of medical system itself, it's a problem of FUNDING for a medical system like that. When you cut and cut and cut and (you get the picture) an already low-funded system like this, it will inevitably lead to all the problems you listed (not enough staff, exhausted staff, poorly paid staff, not enough actual medical buildings). Properly funded and staffed? They could be something beautiful. But well yeah, THAT ain't ever going to happen is it?

Also, as far as I am aware, just because there's "mass standardized health care" for those with little money, this doesn't shut down/get rid of private healthcare, does it? Or am I missing information that screws those over who are private? Anyone?

Re: Government Health Care Kills More Brits Than Guns Kill Americans
Excerpts from an editorial I wrote for the Delaware Voice from Sept. 29. 2009. From the NewsJournal newspaper in Delaware:


I'd rather be sick in America than anywhere else



. . When Americans hear that all other industrialized nations have universal health care, we imagine that they have care like ours available to all. This is not true. Germany's free-enterprise system makes Mercedes and BMW, but their socialized health care looked like this:

As a brand-new LPN, I worked in a German nursing home. I was the ENTIRE night shift. I had more than 100 patients and no aides. I repeat: no aides. There was a registered nurse on call for emergencies. How much care do you think one body can provide for 100 patients, with dozens quite sick?
In a Wilmington, DE nursing home, I had 25 or so patients at night with 2 to 4 aides. There were RNs in the building and doctors on call around the clock.

Where would you rather have your parent?

At another German nursing home, Frau Schneider was my favorite patient. She was ancient but spry and completely alert.
She had the first grand mal seizure I had ever seen. I ran for help. The response was, " She's so old, what do you want? Let it be."
No set of vitals, no checking her care plan, no adjusting her anti-seizure drug levels.
The message was to shut the door and let it go.
. . .

Germany's universal care is the world's oldest, started by the "Iron Chancellor" Otto von Bismarck in 1883. My German nursing instructor emphasized that his motivation was military and political. Bismarck wanted healthier soldiers for Germany's armies.
People cite statistics to show how bad American health care is.
But outcome statistics don't tell much.
Utah has a 6% diabetes rate, according to White House information.
Nevada's rate is 9%. That is a huge difference.
Utah's citizens have the lowest rates of drinking and smoking in the nation.
Behavior, NOT reform, is key.

Low birth weight infants are not counted against the "live birth" statistics for many countries reporting low infant mortality rates.

According to the way statistics are calculated in Canada, Germany, and Austria, a premature baby weighing <500g is not considered a living child.

But in the U.S., such very low birth weight babies are considered live births. The mortality rate of such babies - considered "unsalvageable" outside of the U.S. and therefore never alive - is extraordinarily high; up to 869 per 1,000 in the first month of life alone. This skews U.S. infant mortality statistics.

Also, consider the statistics of children after the first 24 hours of life in the United Kingdom:
