US Cancer Patients Live Longest

According to a recent study in the Lancet, US cancer patients live the longest in the world. The author states that:

Survival was highest among patients with private insurance but just intermediate among those with national insurance.

European patients with all types of cancer had much lower survival rates than those in the U.S.

Wonder if this will change Obama's opinion on nationalizing healthcare. Probably not - I'd expect him to stick with Michael Moore's Sicko view of the US healthcare system.
