Forwarded email chain discussing comparative healthcare statistics between the U.S., England, and Canada, followed by analysis of the percentage of cabinet members with private sector experience across presidential administrations.
Summary
A multi-layered forwarded email originally from Ed Thompson to John Connolly discussing healthcare outcome statistics from a UN survey comparing cancer survival, diabetes treatment, and medical specialist access rates across three countries. The second section analyzes the percentage of cabinet members across 19 presidential administrations who had prior private sector experience, concluding that the Obama administration had the lowest percentage at 8%, arguing this explains perceived governmental incompetence.

Only eight percent---the least, by far, of thelast 19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell our bigcorporations how to run their business?How can the president of a major nation and society, the onewith the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business whenhe's never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has never really had one? And when it's the same for92% of his senior staff and closest advisers? They've spent most of their time in academia,government and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers." They should have been in an employmentlinePass this on because we'll NEVER see these facts in the mainstream media.HOUSE OVERSIGHT 031132End of Forwarded MessageNOTE:ThiS message including any attachments contains information, some or all of which, may beproprietary or legally privileged.
