EC>Any day at all.  If you are diagnosed with cancer, for instance, you
EC>are more likely to still be alive five years later if you are getting
EC>care in the US than France.  We spend more than France, but we also
EC>get more for it.  For example, in the US there are three times as
EC>many CT scans and five times as many MRIs (per million population) as
EC>in France.  Some of those may, of course, be unnecessary tests run
EC>because the patient is not paying out-of-pocket for it (and the Obama
EC>plan does not change that fact) or because the doctor wants to
EC>protect against malpractice suits (also unchanged).  But I would hate
EC>to be the one to go to five people waiting to get an MRI and tell
EC>FOUR of them that they cannot get one because we want to be like
EC>France.
