Silky Pony wants you to die of cancer

…so long as he gets his wet dream of socialized medicine.  From Say Anything:

As you might expect, it contains a lot of stuff about spending more tax dollars on research and telling people how to live their lives.  But what’s interesting is while Edwards is showing his willingness to spend other people’s money on solving the cancer problem, it turns out that America has the best survival rate in the world for all types of cancer among males and females:

What’s funny is that, going by those numbers, it seems the best thing John Edwards could do about cancer in America is keep this country away from socialized medicine which is practiced by nearly every other country on the list.  But, of course, in reality John Edwards loves the idea of socialized medicine and largely ignores that those countries that have it offer health care quality that is below that which Americans enjoy.

Considering that I have lost loved ones to cancer, I would love nothing more than for that horrific disease to be eradicated from the planet.  However, you’ll have to forgive me if I doubt that socialized medicine or the Breck Girl will lead the way.
