Congressman Roy Blunt joined other Republican cancer survivors Tuesday in Washington to warn that a government run health care plan could increase cancer mortality rates."So if you want a system that ensures your chances are less than even of surviving renal cancer, or are significantly reduced surviving prostate cancer -- a government run system in all throughout Europe produces those lower survival rates for cancer," said Blunt.
Notes that in the U.S., the renal cancer survivor rate is about 68%, compared to just 48% in Great Britain.
