For All The Suffering, Chemo Makes A 2% Difference

When someone you care about is suffering from cancer, the chemotherapy portion, a common treatment is far likely the worse part.  For all of the suffering of all of the people undergoing chemo, the difference between chemo and no chemo in treating cancer is 62% vs 60% survival rate.

At the same time, what seems to be far cheaper, easier, healthier is not allowed.   About the last thing you want in life is a government health care plan.  US Govt agencies actively murdered sick people at Tuskegee and in Guatemala.  They are much bigger today.

If you ever compare USA to Japan and Nazi Germany, people reject is on the grounds of false "moral equivalence."  But if both conduct the same horrible experiments, is there not true moral equivalence?
