It's also quite irritating when people focus on nothing but rate of death, and completely ignore the larger impact it has had on the health care industry. When it's your own family member that has their cancer treatment delayed because of the strain on the hospitals, you'd agree there is a bigger picture and you would hope people will finally come around to seeing that.
