So true Desiray Makua Keegan-Co. And delay in treatment can mean death. Per capita, more people die from cancer, including leukemia, in Canada and the UK than do in the United States. The reason for the higher mortality rates in these countries is the delay in treatment, which is typical of socialized medicine.
