are you somehow comparing this with this:
"Thousands of Australians continue to die of cancer because of a shortage of radiotherapy treatment, more than a year after an inquiry called for urgent action on the national shortage."
silly kid. Are you comparing deaths in a country where EVERYONE HAS HEALTH CARE to some doctor visits and procedures being less likely for those who have NO HEALTH CARE?
