Interesting Statistics If True

A  recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very interesting
statistics from:
 by the United Nations International Health
Organization.

Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer  five years after
diagnosis:
U.S.                65%
England         46%
Canada          42%

Percentage  of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received treatment
within six  months:
U.S.                93%
England          15%
Canada           43%

Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received  it within six
months:
U.S.                90%
England          15%
Canada           43%

Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within  one month:
U.S.                77%
England          40%
Canada           43%

Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million  people:
U.S.                71
England          14
Canada           18

Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are  in
"excellent health":
U.S.                12%
England            2%
Canada             6%


Check  this last set of statistics!!

The  percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the
private  business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.  You
know what the private business sector is ... a  real life  business, not a
government job.   Here are the percentages.

T.  Roosevelt........  38%
Taft......................40%
Wilson   .................52%
Harding.................49%
Coolidge..............  48%
Hoover................. 42%
F. Roosevelt.........  50%
Truman..................50%
Eisenhower...........  57%
Kennedy..............   30%
Johnson.................47%
Nixon...................   53%
Ford..................... 42%
Carter..................   32%
Reagan...................56%
GH Bush.................  51%
Clinton   ................. 39%
GW Bush................  55%

And  the winner is:

Obama...............  8%

This  helps to explain the incompetence of this administration:  only 8% of
them have ever worked in private business!

That's  right!  Only eight percent---the least, by far, of the last 19
presidents!  And these people are trying to tell our big  corporations how
to run their  business?  They know what's best for GM, Chrysler, Wall
Street,  and you and me?

How can the president of a major nation and  society, the one with the most
successful economic system in world  history, stand and talk about business
when he's never worked for  one?  Or about jobs when he has never really had
one?  And  when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest
advisers?  They've spent most of their time in academia, government  and/or
non-profit jobs or as "community organizers".  They  should have been in an
employment line.
