A RANT! is a speech or text that does not present a calm argument; rather, it is typically an enthusiastic speech or talk or lecture on an idea, a person or an institution. Compare with a dialectic.

Rants can be based on partial fact or may be entirely factual but written in a comedic/satirical form.

Rants can also be used in the defense of an individual, idea or organization. Rants of this type generally occur after the subject has been attacked by another individual or group.

Universal Health Care....No Thank You


I share this info that was received via email earlier today...found it very interesting. Pardon all the exclamation points and any typos that appear...none of this is my original data, just passing it on for you to see...

In case you have not seen these interesting statistics:

 

 
A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very
 interesting statistics from a survey 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%

 I don't know about you, but I don't want "Universal Healthcare"
 comparable to England or Canada
.
 Moreover, it was Sen. Harry Reid who said, "Elderly Americans
 must learn to accept the inconveniences of old age."

 SHIP HIM TO CANADA OR ENGLAND !

 He is "elderly" himself but be sure to remember his health
 insurance is different from yours as Congress has their own high-
 end coverage!  He will never have to learn to accept
 "inconveniences"!!!

 
AND THE WINNER IS VERY INTERESTING!

 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 of the Chicken Dinner is:  
 Obama 8%!!!
 Yep!  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 neither
 has 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" when they should have been
 in an employment line.
