{5 year survival rates in the US are 62%, Sweden is 62%. It is one of the few countries in Europe to do so. So, good for Sweden. But you won't get better care in Sweden. Just equal.}

yet someone up thread was claiming that the US survival rates were 100%

I am told that over 62.4% of all statistics are made up on the spot - but I am not so sure :)
Can I ask where you got the 62% for US and Sweden from , plz ? It may be useful.

And yeah , it is also worth noting that paying out bigtime and having UHC lead to exactly the same outcome on cancer 5 yr survival rates.
